If you sort by CHIP, all (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/stats/team/Cornell/18)of our top 12 are returning. 5 are freshmen.

Don't open the can of worms that's "will Walsh and/or Castagna sign early". Don't do that.

If only that message popped up whenever you hit the quote button at the end of a bearlover post...and forced you to accept that as the T&C before it let you write out a reply.
TBF, he is getting much better.
I believe the children are the future.

Does the ECAC name an all freshman team? It could basically (not exactly) be our starting six.
8) This is meant as an "isn't that cool
comment?", not a 100% accurate statement.

Ryan-DiGiulian-Long
Veilleux-... put Hiscock on D, lmao
Courns
Yeah, this sounds good!
(But for real, Wyttenbach would have to be on the team. A couple other Q freshmen are also strong contenders. But I can dream.)
It would be cool to have a Frosh bs Upperclassmen game!

Casty NCAA's third leading point scorer in January. https://x.com/collegehockey/status/2018772342076231902

Yes. Back in the day when freshmen couldn't play on the varsity team there was a pre-season game between the frosh and varsity. In November 1963, Harkness's first year, the frosh won 6-2. I remember thinking "This is a turning point". https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-ithaca-journal-cornell-hockey-1963/190508874/
The next year, with Dryden in the net for the frosh, they lost a hard-fought game.

I hope these links are not behind a firewall, at least for first viewing.
Ethan Wyttenbach of Q is 15-26-41. He leads the conference among all skaters in Pts/GP. He's going to be the FOTY and will make the All Conference team outright. Freshmen Antonin Verreault and Markus Vidicek of Q also have eye-popping numbers.
After that come Ryan and XV. Owen Van Steensel of Clarkson, who sounds like a Venture Brothers henchman, is not far behind.
We could get 3 freshmen: Ryan, XV, Alexi. That would be terrific.
I think we have a run at 3 for all-ECAC: Walshy, Casty, and Alexi.
We should dominate the Ivy All Freshman team. That's where we could see 4 or more. And I think we get at least 3 on the All Ivy team outright, though sometimes things are weird because they only count the play within conference and guys have explosive games.
Fun fact: in 1968 we had 4 of the 6 members of the All-American team! http://www.tbrw.info/?/ncaa_History/all_Americans_Teams.htm

Four also in 1969. Interestingly, only one from the 29-0-0 1970 team.
