Quote from: BearLover on April 15, 2026, 09:41:39 PMAt this point our best bet is probably ex-Quinnipiac goalie Dylan Silverstein.

I doubt anyone here actually knows the answer to this, but is Silverstein academically qualified for Cornell?  Attending Q makes me question this, even with some of the breaks given to athletes here sometimes.

Most schools in this country that play D-1 hockey are the same academic caliber as Quinnipiac.

Cornell is not most schools.

Quote from: stereax on April 15, 2026, 11:19:34 AMTwo other goalies in the transfer portal that might be worth taking a look at:

Teagan Kendrick, Sacred Heart (Fr) - 20 GP, .920 sv%, +7.44 GSAx
Petter Wickström Stumer, Canisius (So) - 12 GP, .921 sv%, +7.19 GSAx

Stumer appears to be transferring to Maine.

Quote from: CornellLonghorn on April 14, 2026, 04:34:03 PMIt's all fun and games until he goes to QPAC because they can pay him. Absolute malpractice at this point by the athletic department that we don't have some sort of NIL/Rev Share program with our players. Absolutely pathetic that we cannot keep a kid who we were the only team to give him a chance and the second he is offered a penny he is on his way out. Meanwhile you see Dartmouth keep all of there kids and hit the portal with the Dman. WAKE UP AND GET WITH THE CHANGING TIMES!

Pretty sure Quinnipiac could barely pay him anything even if they wanted to. Pecknold was just complaining they barely have any money. Dartmouth also cannot pay their players for the same reasons Cornell can't.

You're right about one thing though - Some rich donors are going to have to figure something out soon or we aren't going to be competitive nationally anymore. Not because other schools are buying off our players, but because our players are leaving for various reasons, mostly our shitty conference/academic rigors/lack of scholarships, and we are going to somehow have to incentivize them to stay.

Quinnipiac no money? LOL. I'm so tired of the coaches that cry poverty. I made a post on twitter that "the only ones that say money doesn't matter in hockey are those that have it - and if it doesn't matter, why is every team desperately trying to get it?" - and it got liked by numerous coaches of smaller schools. So what does that tell you?

Cornell will do everything imaginable to keep up that is allowed by Ivy rules. To say there is malpractice there is silly. If Cornell was allowed to opt-in, they would, and they'd have millions lined up tomorrow. There's not much they can do. But they will do the intern/NIL thing as much as possible.

I don't know if Cornell will get another goalie. But I know the staff will be trying their damndest. And probably already is.

It sure would be nice if the Ivy League would drop its various dumb rules in light of the shifting landscape.

This assumes the Ivy League has any interest in getting or remaining competitive in sports people might actually care about.  I'm not entirely convinced this is the case.

Cornell next?

Cournoyer going into the portal

What

A joke, I imagine.  Not a particularly funny one, mind you.

Wallace is the only Cornellian currently in the transfer portal, as far as I know.

EDIT: Well, guess I was wrong about that. D'oh.

Sounds like the three of you had a reasonably great time (all things considered) in Vegas. Very happy to read about it! I can't imagine that sort of trip with my daughter back when she was of a similar age. Closest we came was Disney when she was 3, and we also had grandparents to help out and no injuries to work through.

Let's be clear, btw, there were meltdowns, some screaming, and minor falls and bonks along the way. You can't put a toddler through that sort of experience without consequences. But we think it was worth it, and Isaac came through relatively unscathed. Our other motto where Isaac is concerned is that we're happy to take some credit for his disposition, but also "We got stupid lucky."

May you continue to be "stupid lucky" in raising Isaac to be an awesome human being and Cornell hockey fan.

Quote from: Weder on April 06, 2026, 12:55:55 PMI missed this from the other day, but looks like Winter Wallace is in the transfer portal to use his last year of eligibility.

Looks like Winter Wallace is headed to St. Thomas: https://x.com/JaneMcNally_/status/2043708520760029492

Quote from: stereax on April 13, 2026, 10:10:55 AMAs per the Grand Forks Herald, both of Quinnipiac's goalies are portaling. Lol and lmao.

Oh, what a shame.

Also, Cornell mention <3

When did Jane go pro?  I love CHN, so I am glad she wasn't picked up by USCHO. 

Do folks think she will return for her degree when her pen runs dry?  I am not sre you need that in this AI era. 

How do we think this will affect the competitiveness of Cornell's school of journalism, especially against instate rivals like Syracse?

Hey, I'm just glad she stayed all four years.  No early pro signing for Jane, she's a true Cornellian.

I wish I could say I was surprised.

Embellishment!

Starring role much?

Always hogging the limelight, that guy. (Would've been nice to have him hog the limelight for one more season, alas.)

Quote from: chimpfood on April 08, 2026, 09:26:01 AMIm so lost... tried looking this up a little while ago and couldn't find anything I could understand. So it's 4 years starting when you enter college? Then why would Castagna/Hoyts rights expire if they didn't leave this year?

Off the top of my head:

• They may have gotten better deals (money, playing time, etc.) at this season's end rather than waiting a year.
• They may feel their hockey development has reached its zenith in terms of what Cornell can provide, and it's time to take that next step.
• Maybe they've grown tired of the rigors of school. (Seems unlikely as both have made all-academic teams in the past, but you never know.)
• Winning championships would be nice, but maybe they see that as far less likely next season, even if they returned.

Edited to add: I guess I didn't really answer the question of would their rights expire. Their rights weren't expiring yet, but they still may have felt compelled to depart Cornell for any or all of my above listed reasons.

Quote from: stereax on March 30, 2026, 03:59:16 PMBeeeej, you gotta stop making me cry with "night-night for the season".

Fuck, I'm gonna think about that during the salute next year and cry more.

But yeah, agreed - getting trounced like that is way easier psychically than the overtime losses. And you can't expect constant miracles. Just gotta keep going. One step at a time.

...man, what the hell am I gonna do with seven whole months without Cornell hockey? Cup playoffs, draft, free agency... Banana Ball until September???

There's still a few months of Lacrosse left.

Yeah, but that'll last me until June/July. What do I do over the summer??? (Besides fail at finding an internship.)

World Cup?

Soccer? [Gags]

Your disdain for baseball is disappointing, but you've redeemed yourself with a rightful aversion to soccer.
