Alumni in the pros 25-26

Here's something I don't think I've seen mentioned...

Not tempting the woofing gods here, but should Cornell manage to win the ECAC Championship, anyone think that  that could have an impact on Castagna's decision? I believe he would then have a chance to be among the first Cornell players to win an ECAC championship all four years, as I don't believe freshman were allowed to play on the 1967 varsity team, and the only time Cornell has won four straight ECAC championships was 1967-1970.

I realize winning the championship is a ways off, and even if it happens, it may not be a factor, but I hope it may be.

I do not think the team's performance would influence him short of winning the NCAA title.  At that point I can see him thinking there was nothing more he could experience or achieve in college hockey.

I am willing to risk losing him early in that eventuality.

Barron vs. Malinski (starting at 4pm) is a nice appetizer before our Game 2 this evening.

Both were on the ice  for the opening faceoff (which Morgan won), and we got a quick mention of "the former teammates at Cornell" by the Winnipeg announcer.

Two assists for Barron this afternoon, including one that sprung Kyle Connor on a breakaway for the Winnipeg GWG.

Although Barron has been a bit "hot and cold" at times this season, he has now eclipsed his previous career best for points in an NHL season with 10G, 12A. He also got there in 13 fewer games than it took in his previous best season ('22-23).
