Thanks Ursus. When I saw your name on the post I got a little chill - didn't want him to show up at the Tute. He'd be a helluva linemate for LaLiberte. Flying Frenchmen, non?

“He withdrew from school for personal reasons,” says Cornell head coach Mike Schafer. “He plans to come back.”

There is, of course, the option for Hudon to play Tier II junior hockey, or in the USHL, particularly if he is going to return to Cornell.

There’s far more to this whole story than just hockey, though, as Hudon struggles with OCD, which in turn has led to academic and social issues. Hudon withdrew from college on medical grounds, rather than go too deeply into the semester and find himself unable to pull things together. He is reportedly getting help back home for his condition.

Yikes, Philippe Hudon left Cornell was because of health reason but has not join Victoriaville officially.Still could go back to Cornell..

So can/should we send messages of encouragement to let him know that there are many fans at Cornell who would love for him to return? It is his decision but it wouldn't hurt to let him know that we do care that he returns.

He gave an interview that's been reprinted on the Victoriaville homepage:

We might get a more nuanced translation from a native speaker, but google chrome's auto-translation gives you the gist.

To everyone's surprise, Philippe Hudon gave his first skated in the uniform of the Tigers on Tuesday morning, during the daily workout of the team. Forward 18 years has not yet made a decision about its future. Within three weeks he will decide if he joins the Tigers or returns with his training at Cornell University, United States. In consideration for over a month in the home of Hudson, near Montreal, Hudon will practice Wednesday and possibly also next week with the cats. Although there appears to be a good chance he joins the ranks of Victoriavillois on a permanent basis, before the player insists that he has not yet decided. In an interview with www.lanouvelle.net Tuesday after the workout, Hudon has finally unveiled the reason for his departure from Cornell University. His agent, Philippe Lecavalier had mentioned medical reasons last week.

"For a month, I took a step backwards because of the so-called OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder. I was diagnosed last year. It was a battle for me during the past year. I had difficulty in managing the school, trouble and hockey. It was jeopardizing my eligibility to continue my journey in the ranks of American academics. So I decided to come home. I took an intensive therapy to try to heal as quickly as possible since I still want to pursue my ultimate dream of a career in hockey. I had to put things into perspective and analyze all options available to me. That's why I train with the Tigers today, "he shared. Faced with this anxiety disorder, the Colossus of 6'1''and 190 pounds now hopes to find some stability in his life. Thus, it will decide on his future by early December.

Hudon said he appreciated the approach of the Tigers, who were not charged in the case. On November 4, when removing the number 77 of Reginald Savage, the attacker attended the meeting. Mésonéro was limited to shake his grip and give him the tickets of the game. "I liked what I saw. The organization welcomed me with open arms. I feel like home. I wanted to see if the organization of Victoriaville was a good option for me. To date, very positive. Taking me on Tuesday, Wednesday and possibly next week with the Tigers, I also wanted to maintain the shape and meet the players. If ever I join the Tigers, I want the transition is done well, "he added. Nevertheless, it is with regret that he left Cornell University. He was on his first semester in management and business organization. He had spent the previous three years in high school, Choate Rosemary Hall, Connecticut.

Well, if he does return to the team, he's got his new nickname. The Colossus would fit right in on the Dream-Crushing Soul-Devouring Juggernaut.

Cornell is challenging enough even if you don't have a complication like OCD. Best of luck to Philippe in making what must be a very tough decision.

Philippe has officially signed with Victoriaville. It's a shame that the only time we got to see him in a Carnelian sweater was Red-White, but I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors in the Q. Hopefully, we'll be seeing him in the NHL in a few years.

Playing professional hockey closer to home might not be as stressful as playing college hockey while carrying a full course load at an Ivy League university far from home.
