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.

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.)

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.
