Re: Bye-bye Ben - 8 days ago
The Cornell website still has Ben as Associate HC. But unless he can be Cornell's AHC and Princeton's HC at once, I suppose this has to be updated. Does anyone know for sure that Flanagan is being promoted or what other coaching changes for Cornell Men's Hockey are afoot? Also, since Ben oversaw recruiting, have any recruits coming in 2024 changed their minds? What about those lined up forby Swampy - Hockey
