Riley, a forward, was presented with the Greg Ratushny Award, given to the freshman player who best exhibits enthusiasm for the team and Cornell University, camaraderie with his teammates and fellow students and promise for the future.
Promise for a future with Cornell, I hope.

I believe Greg was (and is) Dan's and Kim's younger brother, who was recruited to Cornell to play hockey. If I remember correctly (and it's entirely possible that I don't), he was very badly injured literally the first day of freshman year when a large piece of furniture fell on him, or something like that, and he never played hockey again.
Anybody else remember?

Could be wrong but I think Greg Rathusny was in a very serious car accident the summer before he was to be a freshman at Cornell.

I think that's correct. I seem to remember there being a small plaque on the wall near the hockey office dedicated to Greg Ratushny.

Greg Ratushny was Dan and Kim's younger brother. He was accepted by Cornell for the class of '96, but was seriously injured in a car accident shortly before his scheduled arrival at Cornell (summer of 1992). He never recovered from those injuries. I don't know exactly when he passed away, but the Greg Ratushny award was established in April 1997.

Obviously I was wrong about it being Greg Ratushny, but I have a very clear and vivid memory of learning that one of Cornell's incoming players had been injured during move-in.

Let me quote from an article that appeared in the Ithaca Times on March 19, 1992:
"Alex Nikolic's and Paul Dukovac's names will always be linked, thanks to one terrible moment during Christmas break their senior year when Dukovac, helping Nikolic move some furniture, slipped and fell on an icy flight of stairs and broke his leg, bringing a premature end to his college career."
At least you got the furniture part right ...

Thanks, Arthur! At least I know I wasn't completely imagining it.

An article from the Kansas City Star in 1998 suggested that Greg died in 1996. Some cyber stalking on Google suggested that he was in fact in a coma for a period of time, he did not die right after the accident. Very sad for the Ratushny family.ACM

I think Paul Dukovac ended up as a chiropractor in Illinois.
