I remember Wayne as a solid player for us. His senior year was my sophomore year.
He is mentioned in the description of the annual Bill Doran Sportsmanship Award:
Presented to the Cornell player combining all the best attributes that mean sportsmanship, both on and off the ice, as well as being an excellent competitive player
Doran helped Coach Dick Bertrand recruit more than a dozen members to Cornell most of whom were Canadian and predominantly from the Toronto area. Those included Wayne Stokes and the brothers Dick and Bill Weber. Doran's son, Mike '67, played on the Cornell 1967 national championship team.
I watched Wayne play as a Cornell student and he eventually coached one of my kids in IYHA. He was a wonderful, giving person with a quiet wit and a big heart. RIP
