The Ithaca Voice (https://ithacavoice.org/2024/10/four-former-cornell-mens-hockey-players-make-nhl-rosters-as-season-begins/) reviews the Cornell Big Red (https://cornellbigred.com/news/2024/10/8/mens-ice-hockey-2024-25-nhl-opening-night-rosters-release.aspx) posting on alumni in the NHL as of the start of the new season.
Stienburg was first star and MacDonald third star in AHL Colorado's season opener Friday. Each had a goal. MacDonald followed up with another third star Saturday, scoring again.
Malott is wearing an A with AHL Kings.

As mentioned in the Siblings thread, Cam Abbott is coaching the AHL Chicago Wolves. The Cornell Clubs of Chicago and Wisconsin are getting together to attend the Wolves game against the Milwaukee Admirals the afternoon of November 10, preceded by "light lunch". https://cornelluniversity.imodules.com/s/1717/giving/interior.aspx?sid=1717&gid=25&pgid=32486&cid=51176&ecid=51176&crid=0&calpgid=897&calcid=32998
Stienberg was called up today by the Avalanche.

Sam basically created the goal with a nice retrieval behind his net, a speedy breakout and a slick outlet pass to Kiviranta (the goal scorer):

Our 5 guys currently on NHL rosters (http://www.tbrw.info/?/players/cornell_NHL_by_Year.html) (Nash, Ryan, Barron, Malinski, Stienberg) is the most since 2022 (Nash, MacDonald, Angello, Barron, Malott).
The last time we had 6 was 2015. Our record is 7, last done in 2014.

Angello is in the 2022 parenthetical. I don't know if Nash was rostered but scratched for a game this year but you are right that the is currently in Hartford. Ryan is in the same boat afaik (with the Chicago Wolves).
The bigger issue is Trotsky falling down in his speling of Cornell names.

Sorry, I meant Ryan rather than Angello. I wouldn't expect either to play in the NHL this season barring a deluge of injuries.
While I wait for my morning brain fog to lift so that I can think of someone myself, who would folks consider to be the most recent ECAC above average regular NHLer? A lot of the recent Cornell guys have settled into role players or are on the AHL shuttle. Some of the guys around the league that came out of college with big fanfare have also found their footing as role players (Vesey, Donato). Coronato is up and down. Who am I not thinking of yet?

Ah, but the prompt was "most recent above average ECAC NHLer." Fox is the best, but maybe not the most recent.

Jesus, I have
no memory of him. ::uhoh::
I knew I was a bonehead. Fox is the perfect example. I like to pretend he didn't play at Harvard.
Marino was a solid D and touted along with Fox as guys that could transform Harvard's team (which they did). Fox has always been the better defenseman but Marino was no slouch
Quote from: IcebergMarino was a solid D and touted along with Fox as guys that could transform Harvard's team (which they did). Fox has always been the better defenseman but Marino was no slouch
I think the reason Trotsky doesn't remember Marino, other than the hard drugs, is that Marino was at best the third best offensive defenseman on those teams behind Fox and Walsh (and maybe others I'm forgetting). As a result, Marino didn't get much PP time and didn't put up big numbers. Those Harvard teams were so loaded.

CBC recently did an extended interview (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5m1WG2Q6Zgg) with former Cornell forward Jessica Campbell. She's the first woman to serve as a bench coach in an NHL game.
I hadn't seen it yet, but here's the first monster (clean) hit Stienburg landed in the game against Tampa, before the one later on that got him suspended:

Announcers mentioned in the clip sah67 posted, above, that he only got 3 minutes of ice time the night before. And correctly pointed out that if you're trying to cement a 4th line spot, being an aggro wrecking ball willing to do the dirty work and or drop the mitts is what you have to do to stay up.
Then you hope some guys get kicked and you get a few 3rd line shifts where it'd be possible to show some skill.
Welcome to the show.
I enjoyed the first game of the USA-Canada Rivalry series in women's hockey that is kicking off the PWHL season. I was generally impressed with the skill, speed and physicality. I think they are allowing a lot more contact these days in the women's game. The game was held in San Jose at the arena where the AHL Baracuda play (Sharks affiliate).
There were Cornell alums on both sides (Brianne Jenner, Jaime Bourbonnais, Rory Guilday) I wore my Cornell jersey/sweater and yelled out "Red!" during the anthem. A few people in the stands near me noticed and commented.
The USA seemed to have a bit more jump and better goaltending as they got out to a 6-0 lead and won 7-2.
If there were a team near me in the SF Bay Area, I would go to some games. I will also watch the next few games of the rivalry series (NHL network) as I think Canada was not happy about the blow out. Lots of tussling towards the end of the game.

We went to Syracuse yesterday to see Jack Malone play for Utica. He got a bunch of defensive zone faceoff assignments and was on the second power play unit on their only power play. He stopped out to see us after the game and is very happy to be playing for his hometown organization.
Jack Malone had a natural hat trick for Utica in the AHL last night. He had the feat accomplished 7:33 into the game.
Morgan Barron scored his fifth goal of the season last night. Malinski got a minus on the play.

Quote from: The RancorWhat's going on with Riley Nash and the Rangers? I am guessing he's injured?
Says he missed all of the Rangers' training camp with a lower body injury and nothing else beyond that. Two way contract. I think it's a case of LTIRetirement at this point, especially given that he'd actively lose money if cleared to play and inevitably sent to Hartford.
Malinski has been quiet in recent weeks, but last night he set up a Martin Necas breakaway goal with a gorgeous 2-zone bank pass from behind his own goal line:

Barron back for the jets in an OT loss today. He laid 4 hits so I guess his injury is feeling better.
Malinski played in his 82nd NHL game last night. He is 5-12-17 and a +7. It'll be interesting to see if he can get into the 30 point range over his next 82.
Avs vs. Stars is on TNT this afternoon and they just spotlighted Malinski, who, after breaking his stick on a shot, grabbed a new one from the bench and then immediately set up a nice one-timer for Jonathan Drouin to put the Avs up 3-1.
He's doing so well!!

And the producer is a Quinnipiac grad! Malinski has been in and out of the lineup after their busy trade season. Glad he's making the most of his opportunities.
Since his return to the ECHL, Ben Berard has three consecutive two goal games for Kalamazoo. Yesterday to cap off the weekend he added two assists for a four point game. Sniper.

Ed Olczyk spent some time in the 3rd period last night discussing how impressed he was with Sam Malinski's game, offensively on the rush and making passes and on defense.
Quote from: jkahnEd Olczyk spent some time in the 3rd period last night discussing how impressed he was with Sam Malinski's game, offensively on the rush and making passes and on defense.
Even though it's one of my pet peeves he made a play on a two on one where he laid out and before he slid out of position he got the puck with his stick to break it up. With Manson out he's back in on a nightly basis.
Another nice game by Malinski tonight with another sweet primary assist on Brock Nelson's first goal for Colorado. Avs fans seem pretty high on Sam's recent play with lots of chatter about wanting the team to re-sign him on a longer term deal pretty soon.
Malinski's hot streak continued tonight with his 3rd goal of the season (a 93 mph slapper), which opened the scoring in Colorado's 5-4 shootout win over Montreal: https://www.nhl.com/video/col-mtl-malinski-scores-goal-against-samuel-montembeault-6370404176112

Jacob MacDonald called up by Avs. Would be a neat D pairing of him and Malinski

Two guys who could really hammer the puck from the blue line!
Looks like MacDonald is going to be scratched for tonight's game: https://x.com/megangley/status/1904582664276906023
For a guy who had twenty one points in four years at Cornell I think it's incredible that he's on the verge of scoring thirty GOALS in a single AHL season.

Malott getting the call to LA!

And their next game is tomorrow against Colorado, so there's the potential for Malinski, MacDonald and Malott to all be playing! (And boy I just realized it would have been a nightmare for Grady/Jason if Malott, Malone and Malinski all overlapped.)

Oops: you're right!
Malott's in the lineup for the Kings against Malinski and the Avs on TNT tonight: scoreless after 1. Malott had a golden scoring opportunity (with Malinski on the ice) but couldn't put it away.
I live in Denver but happened to be in the Chicago area this weekend. Avs games get blacked out at home -- it was great to see two alums playing in the same game!
And the temptation to head over to Toledo on Saturday is great -- the drive is less than 4 hours! The question: Do I take the 3 grandchildren I am babysitting, or do I leave them on their own? After all, the oldest is 10 and good at babysitting her brothers on occasion....

It was featured in the MSG 150 during the second intermission of the Rangers game. Pidto mentioned that Malott went to Cornell. He also did a nice job during the CU-BU hilites documenting Schafer and his retirement. Did anyone on here know Pidto when he was at Cornell?

I got to know Bill during my junior year and Bill's freshman year when we both covered Cornell basketball, me for the Sun and Bill for WVBR. First time I heard him on the radio I could tell he had "it" as a sports broadcaster. One day either that year or the next he asked me to lunch, and we met at a long-gone pizza place in Collegetown. He said he had decided to go into sports broadcasting after he graduated but his parents were less than thrilled with the idea. I recall telling him that while I understood his parents' reservations about that career path, I thought he was the best college broadcaster I'd heard at Cornell or pretty much anywhere, and that in my opinion he should give it a shot. The rest is history.
Last year I was fortunate to take my son, along with another Cornell friend and his son, to the MSG studios after a Rangers game to see Bill in action doing the Rangers' postgame show. It was great to see him do his thing in person. He was and is a terrific guy.

Players with pro aspirations plan their senior year schedule hoping to leave early. I bet Shane is enrolled in no more than 13 credits this semester and that he took a couple of 1 or 2 credit courses that met in the first 7 weeks of the term. Maybe some independent study and, for classes that run until the end of the term, no final exams if possible. As long as he has done most of the work in a course, he can ask for an INC and make arrangements to finish the work at a later date.

So I just posted this comment on that article:
"This quote "helping Cornell to its most successful three-year run in program history." shows a lack of investigating Cornell history.
Check out the 1967-70 4 years. Each year they were the ECAC Champions, also in the NCAA Championship 4 each year and won the Championship in '67 & '70. The '70 team was the only NCAA undefeated season ever.
You could pick any 3 of the 4 seasons and they'd be better than the last 3. The 4 seasons were certainly the best ever.
Investigate further before writing."

Sure those guys wouldn't match up with today's, but I can attest that the Cornell fans were more excited then. Talk to anyone who was walking into the old Boston Garden.

I completely agree. Was just musing. The last three years have been great but not comparable to those. But the flip side is that man there were some shockingly bad teams in the league then. Some of those scores were disgraceful.

AHL players salaries vary widely based on the type of contract (AHL-only or two-way NHL contracts). Here's a recent breakdown -
AHL-only contract players typically earn between $50,000 and $90,000 per season. Players on NHL two-way contracts earn more, often between $70,000 and $150,000, depending on their NHL salary and terms.
Salaries range from around $52,500 (AHL minimum salary as of the 2024–25 season). Some players earn $300,000+ in the AHL if they're on generous two-way contracts with high AHL guarantees, though this is rare. Entry-level players on two-way NHL deals might earn $70,000–$80,000. Median AHL salary is estimated at around $75,000–$85,000.
Recent graduates (Class of 2024) from the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management (seemingly, the modal school for hockey players) have reported an average base salary of $96,394, with an average combined bonus of $11,896. The school reported that 95 percent of graduates accepted offers within four months of graduation.
So, try the AHL for a few years while you're young and care-free. If you make it to the NHL, you're set, if not, there's investment banking.

Good article. It's a bummer to lose Bancroft but overall I think this is positive for the program. Cornell won't be a factory team like BC, BU, UMich etc. but I think it has been able to compete with those teams in part because players on the cusp have developed here and raised their level of play sufficient to make it at the pro level including the NHL. A story like Bancroft's where he was undrafted but by his junior year had apparently five NHL clubs interested in him can be a selling point to recruits, as can the B's being satisfied with Walsh's development here and content to have him remain for his junior year. (At least that's how I choose to look at it. :-) ) If the team was losing players through the portal to other colleges, that would leave me with a sense of dread; guys making the leap to the pros does not.

A real shame though...Malott's was a beauty: https://twitter.com/DooleyLAK/status/1908630368896643292

i guess scoring to bring your team within two in the final minute of the game isn't how most people want to score their first pro goal. bancroft's only reaction was to coast to a stop along the boards.

i love watching our guys get wow goals in the pros. much more satisfying than when they pop in a grinder rebound. makes me think about what they'd look like if the red had a more free-flowing offense. i know that it is the yin to the yang of having a great defense for the last 30 years but i have to admit if we're going to have an adjustment period that involves more losing (not saying we will, just IF) i wouldn't mind watching a little firewagon hockey for a bit.

A couple of weeks ago they talked about a story where Scrivens had illegally colored tape on his stick and the opposing coach didn't challenge it until the shootout. I didn't remember that.
Quote from: VIEWfromKI'm always behind but on Friday's 32 Thoughts they talked about Jacob MacDonald potentially joining Makar as the first ever NHL/AHL thirty goal scoring defenseman in the same organization.
Has Macdonald been playing D full-time for Colorado this season? I recall San Jose often bounced him around between defense and forward as a "utility player" situation, but maybe that was just a David Quinn coaching strategy.

Tough season for Cole Bardreau and the Bridgeport Islanders, who set an AHL record for the fewest home wins in a season. Their home record was 4-28-1-3 and they were outscored by 70 goals at home. Their overall record was 15-48-7.
Cole played in 65 games and had 4 goals and 14 assists. His plus-minus of minus-6 was actually one of the better marks on the team. That doesn't mean he had a good season, though. According to this article: (https://nyihockeynow.com/bridgeport-islanders-ahl-news-worst-home-record-why-how-it-happened/)
Cole Bardreau and Tyce Thompson, two guys the team needed to be key contributors as veterans, failed. They combined for 39 points (Bardreau 18 pts, Thompson 21).

Barron scores his first career playoff goal on a deflection to put Winnipeg up 2-1 on STL in the first period of Game 1.
Barron just scored his 1st career playoff goal on a pretty tip-in to put the Jets up 2-1 in the 1st period over the Blues. He's started to find the back of the net more often. since being moved to center late in the regular season.
Unfortunately (not for Winnipeg), Barron's goal was awarded to another Jets player who also got a stick on it.
Malinski is scratched for game 1 of the Colorado-Dallas seriee.
Really strange that Malinski is a scratch. He played pretty much the whole season with them and was really turning it on as of late. Ah well, wonder if Mallott can make the squad for LA.

On the flip side of that coin, Malott and the rest of the Kings' 4th line (along with their 3rd D pairing) were benched for essentially the entire third period and OT last night, leading to the Kings gassing out completely and getting dominated by the Oilers before Draisaitl's OT winner (after LA controlled most of the first two periods of the game). Kings fans this morning are scratching their heads about this "strategy", especially given that several of the Kings' "top" players are older and well past their prime (Doughty, Kopitar, etc.) It seems like a lot of fans were complimentary of the physical play of Malott's line during the early parts of the game, before the coaching staff decided to pivot to a 13-man lineup at the end.
The Kings' coaching staff was already facing a lot of heat after their botched challenge in Game 3 led to Edmonton's GWG on the power play.

Lmfao. Classic Harvard.
Barron joined Malott and Malinski in having a nice goal wiped out due to a challenge for offsides last night. If that wasn't bad enough, Winnipeg got thumped 5-3 and will go to Game 7 on Sunday.
With the Avs' unfortunate third-period collapse, penultimate Cornellian Stanley Cup hopeful Sam Malinski makes his exit from the playoffs. (At least his early penalty only resulted in a SHG for Colorado.) That leaves only Morgan Barron, with the Jets' own game seven against the Blues tomorrow night. Would've been nice to see an Avs-Jets series, guaranteeing a Cornell alum in the conference finals, but not so much.

Not that Morgan did a ton to acquit himself later in the game, but he stuck it out with the rest of the Jets and they won the fourth-longest game seven in NHL history (after the latest tying goal in NHL game seven history).

I watched only the first overtime, when he was chasing the play the whole time. TBH I was terrified he was going to get a hook or an interference and put them down a man. That would have been suboptimal.

The biggest reason for Barron's decreased time is Mark Scheifele's return to the lineup in Game 4 after having been out with an injury which occurred in Game 5 vs. St. Louis. In Game 7 vs. St. louis, Barron took almost all of the d-zone faceoffs in the two overtimes with Adam Lowry (brother of alum Joel Lowry) taking most of the o-zone faceoffs.

Chris Abbott '06 was hired at the beginning of this season by the Carolina Hurricanes as their VP-Pro Player Development. Twin brother Cam was also hired to coach Carolina's AHL affiliate, the Chicago Wolves. Also, in June of last year, the Hurricanes promoted Eric Tulsky, a Harvard grad and Berkeley PhD, to GM. Tulsky was hired about 10 years ago by the Canes (and by then GM Ron Francis) to be the analytics guru for the team. Bringing in the Abbotts were two of his first moves as GM. On the other side of that Stanley Cup semi-final, Braden Birch '13 is VP of Hockey Operations & Salary Cap Management for the Florida Panthers. Furthering the Cornell connections, Ron Francis' daughter went to Cornell at the same time as Riley Nash, and Francis, who attend a bunch of games at Lynah when his daughter was there, made a trade to acquire Nash's draft rights from Edmonton. Also, Francis, who just got let go as GM of the Seattle Kraken, was the one who brought Jessica Campbell '14 into the Kraken organization.

On the other side of that Stanley Cup semi-final, Braden Birch '13 is VP of Hockey Operations & Salary Cap Management for the Florida Panthers. Furthering the Cornell connections, Ron Francis' daughter went to Cornell at the same time as Riley Nash, and Francis, who attend a bunch of games at Lynah when his daughter was there, made a trade to acquire Nash's draft rights from Edmonton. Also, Francis, who just got let go as GM of the Seattle Kraken, was the one who brought Jessica Campbell '14 into the Kraken organization.
Somewhere in my memory bank I recall that Francis (who's my age) was planning on attending Cornell before being drafted as the 4th overall pick his draft year. Similar to Mark Scheifele, who had actually committed to Cornell before being the 7th overall pick his draft year. And speaking of Scheifele, so sad about his father dying unexpectedly the day of game 6 for Winnipeg against Dallas. Somehow Scheifele played that night, and scored Winnipeg's only goal. Unfortunately he took the penalty that led to Dallas's game winning OT goal.
I play occasionally with a kid who's heading to Chicago Steel for Juniors, and to Maine for Collage (unfortunately, because he's so darn good) that Head Coach Mike Garman is off to Notre Dame to be Associate Head Coach.
FWIW, the kid is super nice, an amazing player, but seems to have zero academic ambition and is only concerned with hockey and getting to the NHL. "What are you going to study at Maine?" Kid,"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it."
This is why we get who we get at Cornell, and shouldn't even worry for a moment about over-agers from the CHL coming to East Hill.

I'm not sure what this post means but there are overagers from the CHL going to Princeton, as one example. Also, you overstate the academic ambition of many players who choose Cornell. I'm not saying our players are dumb (at all), but many of them want nothing other than to play professionally, and are not nearly as focused on academics. We are trying to recruit high-end hockey players, not high-end scholars. Obviously there is a correlation between being smart and choosing (and having the minimum academic credentials to attend) Cornell, but people need to dispense with the notion that Cornell hockey players are cut from an entirely different cloth than those of other programs.

I crossed paths with many athletes in my time at Cornell (hockey, lacrosse, football, ...). They all seemed a lot more focused on athletics than academics. This is not intended as a slight. Being a high-end college athlete is like a full-time job. Why do you think most athletes end up in AEM/the hotel school? Why are almost none engineers? These kids don't blow off academics but it's usually not their main focus. I don't think it's even close, honestly, but I'd prefer to not turn this discussion into another flame war.

What I'm saying is that Cornell, and Mike Schafer, and hopefully Coach Jones, recruit players of qualities that include athleticism, ambition and character. I don't doubt there are a few CHL players with the grades and ambition to go to an Ivy, even Princeton. But if you read the article about Mike Garman, who no doubt you'd call a sieve and not worthy of starting or something, was at Cornell for hockey, but also to learn how to lead- what he learned from Coach Schafer, it's what you don't get about sports and everything else Cornell Hockey. Look at the above posts about the Abbots. Look and see how players have succeeded in becoming success on and off ice, and sharing their wisdom with another generation. We're going to see a Garman, Abbot, or others back behind the bench in a decade or so, maybe less. But it was never the Venerated Joe Nieuwendyke, but it might be Topher Scott.

Cornell hockey players (and many other Cornell athletes), as far as I can tell, are amazing people and leaders. You're arguing with a strawman. My point is only that acting like we can't get CHL kids or that we only get kids serious about academics is wrong. Also, Mike Garman was a very good goalie when I was a student.
With Garman joining the ND coaching staff, he's someone to keep in mind as a possible HC candidate down the road when Casey is ready to retire.
In my experience, Cornell athletes are no dumber, at the median, than the average business or engineering major. No, they aren't A&S, but they aren't Martha Van for the most part either. Other than their athletics they are incurious and plodding, but hard workers. From personal experience that is the typical Cornell or Stanford student as well. There are brilliant exceptions, of course, who actually can, and want to, understand Principii di una Scienza Nuova Intorno alla Natura delle Nazioni per la Quale si Ritruovano i Principii di Altro Sistema del Diritto Naturale delle Genti, or Mécanique analytique. Odds are there was probably one in hockey history as well. In the main they are time servers. In another age they would have been C students before that became dangerous for selectivity.
They aren't any less interested in knowledge and discovery than the average "student" because the average student is a mediocrat. So don't run them down. They are no dumber than the average citizen, and they could obviously not do worse than we have been doing lately.
There are more varsity athletes in A&S than you might think. That's what the government major is for. I made it through government without breaking too much of a sweat, but I wasn't aiming for law school or any sort of job in politics.
A&S has so many easy majors and Engineering is way harder. Ag, ILR and business are the easier colleges these days and I have noticed ILRies to be especially slow.
Nobody needs an argument over which Cornell school is smarter. I only meant to say that Cornell does, and should, recruit hockey players who are hockey players first and foremost. So we should expect to compete for top players and CHL overagers.

I think Garman would be a very strong candidate.
And, anyway, I'm still peeved that Iles got that start in Atlantic City. Garman is owed one.

Speaking of Colorado and the AHL, here's a nice article/interview from a few weeks ago (just prior to the start of the playoffs) on Jacob MacDonald and the impact he's made this season. He discusses how he had hoped to remain in San Jose last year, but that Colorado has become a much better fit, especially with him back on the blue line full-time:

Colorado and Abbotsford play a decisive game five today, with the winner moving onto the conference finals against the Texas Stars.
MacDonald, Kempf, Stienburg and the rest of Colorado got shut out 5-0 by Abbotsford and were eliminated.

Nice! Thanks for the correction.

Key Restricted Free Agents
D Sam Malinski – Malinski is Colorado's only RFA to play considerable NHL time this season. It was his rookie year in the league, and Colorado opted to strap Malinski to the third-pair for nearly the whole year. He handled the role well, netting 15 points and a plus-eight in 76 games despite averaging just 16 minutes of ice time. He also ranked third in blocked shots, behind top defenders Cale Makar and Samuel Girard. That's an impressive stat line for the young Malinski, and one that maintained his momentum after posting 10 points and a plus-three in 23 games last season. He'll be a must-sign option for the Avalanche, even if it's only to continue forward in a quaint role. Malinski should only come at the cost of a few years in term and a few million in salary.
Congrats to Braden Birch on being part of the Stanley Cup-winning Panthers organization!
Rory Guilday got drafted in the first round (No. 5 overall) of the PWHL draft by Ottawa. Four of the first five picks were ECAC players. Colgate's Kristýna Kaltounková was the No. 1 pick by New York.
