I believe Castagna has 4 ENG this season. Is that the Cornell record for most ENG in a season?
Veilleux has 6 goals and 26 points so far. How does that stack up historically among Cornell freshmen defensemen?
Ryan has 11 goals and 30 points so far. Where does he rank historically among freshmen?
Lastly, CHN's FO% leaders page doesn't work (it lists all the people at 100% who have taken like one single faceoff all year). The NCAA page also doesn't work (it randomly lists absolute numbers for FOs won/lost but not FO percentage). Thus I presume Castagna has the best FOW% in the country, but can't confirm this. My question is whether his percentage this season also ranks #1 in Cornell history (among players with a minimum number of attempts).
One more thing: I would guess that Castagna's number of faceoffs taken per game is also #1 in the country and maybe #1 in Cornell history.
I'm being very selfish here but I hope we are lucky enough to have him next season-but it seems doubtful

He eclipsed Chris Norton '88 and your arch nemesis Ben Robertson for most points by a freshman defenseman:

Just for you - because you are my buddy, of course - the site now weeds out the 100%'ers - and this link will also load sorted by FO% right off the bat ...

Thanks. Incredible, Castagna at 65.5% and second place at 61.1%.
Another funny thing from the CHN stats page is that Ethan Wyttenbach's xG is 11.5 but his actual number is 24. Could be an issue with the statistic but also he has certainly gotten very lucky.

Having a super inflated G vs xG usually just means that you're getting lucky on low-percentage shots. Would have to see the advanced stats on the goals, though.

Thanks for those numbers. One of RPI's recruits (Harrison Lodewyk, Calgary Hitmen [WHL]) won 21/30 yesterday https://chl.ca/whl/gamecentre/1022873/ which seemed outstanding. I went hunting around and found that he was 63.6% since being traded to Calgary early in the year. Now I have some idea where he stands.

Without doing the math, it looks like he is also head and shoulders above the rest of the faceoff leaders in points per game - not just a "FOGO."
A lot of this type of information is available via the "Game Notes" links on the cornellbigred.com schedule page (https://cornellbigred.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/schedule). You could also email Marshall Haim (the men's hockey SID) with those kinds of questions.
