I guess he couldn't take the new sound system.
Turned around a historically weak program and led a team to a surprising championship run. Too bad about the recent years but the team probably needed an overdue change anyway behind the bench.

What is it with hockey players and not getting offseason surgeries until, like, 3 years after the injury happened???

1. Denial.

3. Fear the surgery won't work and the dream is over.
I get it. They're human. We all lie to ourselves even when it's counter-productive. Now add they are also still children with no life experience. If they made good decisions it would be weird.

That's fair, but I swear every single offseason in the NHL too it's like "Jesper Bratt has had a shoulder issue for 2 years and he's finally getting surgery for it"...

pain is part of the bargain. if it doesn't keep you from playing and it degrades slowly enough, you get the surgery when you HAVE TO. careers are short. you basically can't come back until you're 100% and it's a grind to get back to exactly where you are right now when it hurts like hell sometimes but you're still good enough to skate and there's a guy right there with cortisone.
Talking about out long with an injury. I do think that he had surgery back in 2021. Neutral Zone in a public post wrote it better than I could.
QuoteMatthew Jovanovic (D, L, 6'2, 201, No team, 09/22/2004, RPI)
Jovanovic has not played a competitive game since the 2020-21 season as a member of the USHL's Des Moines Buccaneers. He has been out all this time due to injury and never even got to play for the Saginaw Spirit – the OHL team that drafted him. RPI has given him a chance to comeback and play the game he loves again.
They have dropped him from 4.5 to 4.0 stars.
Elite Prospects currently lists Yale has having 8 players, each with 0 games of experience (https://www.eliteprospects.com/league/ncaa). They're gonna get a lot of ice time.

The locker room would smell better but no goalie is a bold move Cotton.
CHN Yale Roster (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/reports/roster/Yale/59)
Nothing on USCHO but CHN has a full roster listed.
CollegeHockeyNXT, which is a website/social media account that follows college hockey, lists Ben Robertson on the "all-portal second team." But it also lists Luke Ashton as part of the "all-portal third team." I have no idea if CollegeHockeyNXT is a reliable source at all. It may be run by some kid in his parents' basement.
I'm still very irked that Roberson transferred out. In part because he was our best defenseman and now we have zero returning LHD. But also in part because I'm not sure what it means long term. Are we going to continue losing our best players to NIL schools? UMich is now number 1 on my most hated teams. Yes, above Quinnipiac. BU is also above Quinnipiac now.
The blueline lost Robertson but picked up Fisher and Ashton, both NHL draft choices. That sounds like a net gain.
As to the reasons, we just don't know the details of the specific cases, so we don't know if they are systemic and repeatable or personal and unique. We'll need years of results to see if this will make a significant difference in either direction for the team.
I would analogize Robertson leaving to an employee leaving: your employer is using you as a fungible asset. You owe them nothing. Move as freely as they would axe you for the slightest reason or even on a whim.
Your family loves you; love them. Cornell doesn't give a shit about you; act accordingly.
Quote from: TrotskyThe blueline lost Robertson but picked up Fisher and Ashton, both NHL draft choices. That sounds like a net gain.
We'll see. At the moment, Robertson is more valuable than Fisher and Ashton put together. Fisher had (has?) a lot of potential but has been injured and has not produced for most of the last several seasons. While he is a draft pick, he is not on track to play professionally. That can all change, of course, but that's the current state of affairs.
Ashton is intriguing. Huge player that put up monster numbers in the BCHL one season. It didn't fully translate to Minnesota State last year, but he did produce some.
In sum, Robertson is a known quantity great collegiate player. Fisher and Ashton are not, though there is some potential there. Also, two players are better than one, and they each have three years of remaining eligibility to Robertson's two. So right now I give the advantage to Robertson, but it's subject to change.

It's always hard to get details about injuries. Apparently, a hip injury revealed something wrong that he had since birth. He is now skating with NHL players and supposedly he will be able to play this year. We will see what happens. RPI, which had almost a complete turnover, felt it was worth a gamble to sign him.
I doubt that he will return to 4.5 level. I add that Neutral Zone has downgraded him further to 3.5 stars. This makes sense to me.
If most of RPI's gambles come through, Eric Lang will deserve ECAC Coach of the Year honors. RPI is the only ECAC school never to have had a coach honored.
Quote from: BearLoverIn sum, Robertson is a known quantity great collegiate player.
Through ten games of his freshman year I thought he was on the way to being a great college hockey player. Then he struggled to maintain that pace all the way up until he started to get back to that level this past postseason. The power play was not much with him as the only defenseman on the top unit most times. He was just as inconsistent as many players in their first two years. Now I would prefer that he had stayed at Cornell and built on his finish to last postseason but I would argue that none of Cornell's players are irreplaceable. It's just that I've grown attached to them and don't want them to leave.

Fair enough. But the fact he was reportedly being wooed by UMich, Denver, and Notre Dame suggests to me he is considered a great player by those who understand hockey better than I do.
I'm on Vancouver Island for a few days, and the CBC radio station out of Victoria had a 10-minute story today about the impact of the NCAA rule changes allowing CHL players to now play in the NCAA. Nothing particularly new in the story, but some good examples of the impacts to the local CHL (WHL) team, the Victoria Royals.

We're seeing this all play out even within our own recruiting pipeline: recruiting kids directly from the CHL, younger kids going to the CHL prior to college, fewer kids going Junior A.
At this point, 8 of 12 Cornell recruits playing junior hockey are in the CHL. Of 15 total recruits, the breakdown is as follows:
USHL (4): Sandruck, Tuminaro, Pelletier, Major
QMJHL (4): Marmulak, Kirkwood, Dontigny, Wotton
OHL (2): Dec, Emerton
WHL (2): Ament, Wehmann
Still finishing high school (3?): Peckham(?), DiPlacido, Broderick(?) [unclear if Peckham and Broderick are returning to high school or going to juniors. Possible they are trying to make USHL teams out of camp. DiPlacido will play his senior year at St. Andrews]
Shockingly, zero recruits are in the BCHL. In past years it has felt like around half of our recruits were in the BCHL.

I was reading an article earlier today but I forgot to save the link so I can't find it at the moment. However, it was talking about changes to the Canadian leagues and it had some quotes from the head of the bchl.
He said that in Prior seasons something like 25% of all D1 NCAA players had come through the bchl and that the ivy League school rosters were 48% from BCHL iirc.

QuoteThe NCAA is also currently facing a U.S. District Court ruling that challenges how the NCAA counts years of eligibility. Previously, the collegiate association would include years in JUCO, or Junior College, against a player's maximum five years of NCAA eligibility. This new antitrust lawsuit would look to reverse that decision
Holy shit. We're gonna wind up with 32-year old NCAA basketball players who have played for JuCos, European professional leagues, and the Wyoming State Penitentiary All Stars.
NIL Money should be held in a trust until players either graduate or otherwise leave the school. Players should be provided room, board, scholarship, team uniforms, equipment and can earn money washing jock straps after practice, but that's it. Otherwise, intelligible. You should get one 'free' transfer without sitting a year, the second transfer is sit one season, lose no eligibility, third one you lose a season and a year. Everyone gets 5 seasons, grad years included. Max age is 26 at graduation, unless Military or Civilian service, then 27. No more shootouts, except for in season tournaments. White jerseys at home after January 1, then team colors. Playoff's higher seed chooses. Not more than 2 CHL seasons for NCAA eligibility. Nurses, doctors, social workers, other medical providers and teachers get full tuition reimbursement for 5 years of service in the public sector which includes our new Medicare for All system... something something solar on all new construction high speed rail....

The Ivies and other elite schools are outliers in that undergrads tend to be the "traditional" age for college students and mostly graduate in 4 years. Most U.S. undergrads as a whole are older and take longer to graduate, and a large percentage of undergrads are not full-time students. So should NCAA athlete eligibility reflect some vanishing ideal of what an undergrad is or more closely match the reality of undergrad demographics? The Ivy is gonna do what the Ivy is gonna do, but it doesn't reflect the reality of the overall U.S. undergrad body to say that athletes must be 22 or younger and have only four years of eligibility.

According to what Allain said in column, it was his choice to retire, but he'd been preparing to do so after this season. But over the summer had his doubts, and was reflecting on how he didn't like how angry he had been at times last season when things weren't going well at practice. The article said the AD met with him on Aug. 7 and asked him to return for one more season. His retirement was announced the next day.
No mention of new sound system playing a role in his decision.

almost all of last season for them, Sandruck apparently did not make the Lincoln Stars roster this year. He was on the preseason roster, but is not on the current roster. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up. Heisenberg seems to expect him to play in the NAHL.
