Cam Hackett ECAC ROTW.  Anyone know why he decommitted from Cornell?

EDIT: Says here it was because Cornell asked him to delay his arrival by a year: http://www.withoutapeer.com/2015/05/desertion.html

It sounds like he wound up starting at RPI exactly when Cornell would have wanted him to start at Cornell. He would have been part of this freshman class that is looking so promising right now.

If he had come when he had been planning, he probably would have ridden the bench for two, maybe three, years. Who wants to ride the bench for that long, if it can be avoided?

The 'Tute is a perfectly fine school. Rather he ended up there than, say, another school that should go ahead and leave for Hockey Least already (when Notre Dame inevitably jumps ship) but that will be looking for a starter after this season.

Not that it means a lot, but here's Ken Schotts' weekly awards. (http://www.dailygazette.com/weblogs/schott/2015/nov/23/college-hockey-slap-schotts-fit-be-tied/)

Daily Gazette/ECACH Stars of the Week
Time for my stars of the week.

Player/Goalie of the Week — Mitch Gillam, Cornell

The junior goalie posted two shutouts over the weekend. Gillam made 30 saves in the scoreless tie against Yale, and stopped 27 shots in Saturday's 1-0 win over Brown.

Rookie of the Week — Michael Laidley, St. Lawrence

The freshman left winger had a goal and an assist in the Saints' 5-1 win over Princeton on Friday.

Team of the Week — Cornell
The Big Red post two road shutouts.

Um, if POTW includes position players and goalies, and is thus a higher honor than GOTY, which only includes goalies, then how can a POTY be an HM for GOTW, unless it means one cannot win both POTW and GOTW (and if that is the case, why would he be an HM?)?

FWIW, these weekly awards don't call them specifically "Honorable Mention," just "Other nominees." My assumption is that a player may win one and only one of these each week. And it's probably decided by some intern. (POTW > GOTW > ROTW?)

In addition to the league accolades, Gillam was also named the "#1 star" for the week by the NCAA:

This has happened before.  Freshman X gets "player of the week" and freshman Y gets "rookie of the week."  What?  They try to spread the awards around and they may even have an explicit rule that you can't win both the same week.

As RichH said, I'm sure the awards are chosen by whichever poor shlub intern is last out on a Monday or something.  Dude could probably pick a non-existent player for a few weeks before anybody figured it out (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Tmk7gmS5T34/maxresdefault.jpg).

Visiting that link, not only does Mitch look exactly like the #1 star from Denver, but the copy points out that he got six shutouts last weekend. Impressive.

Looks like it was as recent as 2000-01, according to Wikipedia. There appears not to have been a Third Team until 2005-06. (You're right that we didn't have anyone in 1992-93, either.)

Does the fact that we still finished with a winning record and were on the cusp of making it to the NCAAs without a single ECAC all-star mean we were an over-achieving team this year?
