[quote Trotsky]Kary will be a 21-year old freshman.[/quote]...and as such will likely be very popular in his freshman dorm.

Kary won't be 21 until a few months in. Mike Garman will actually be 21 by the time he steps on campus. Garman will be about a month older than Doug Krantz was when he was a Freshman

::nut:: Eighteen at the start of his freshman year; nineteen at the end. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid%5B%5D=3167. Are you thinking of someone else?

Dick Bertrand was 25 when he arrived at Cornell in the fall of 1966 and 29 when he graduated and was named head coach.  Maybe this kid can emulate Dick and captain us to another national championship.  Asking for an unbeaten season is, of course, a little too much.;-)

[Larry72]

However Dick was "so old" that he couldn't participate as a player in the 1970 NCAA games. On the other hand...shooting for another unbeaten season or four plus years of being unbeaten at home (the entire four years that the Class of '72 were undergrads) are goals that any Cornell team should strive to emulate.

Joel Laing was 24. I can't think of a goalie who was older. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php3?pid%5B%5D=28211

Ouch.  6'5" 225 lbs. defenseman.  Just when you thought Cornell had a lock on brotherly love.  He played at Northwood School, which is in Lake Placid...maybe proximity helped in the recruiting?

Good get, Knight fans.

Maybe he couldn't get into Cornell?

USHR did say "He's also a really bright kid," so that probably wasn't the problem. They did, however, also say "However, the younger Pokulok doesn't have the offensive skills of his older brother." The fact that 2008 Clarkson recruit Julien Cayer is a teammate at Northwoods probably helped.

As long as he's as slow as Sasha, I can live with that :-P

It probably isn't cold enough for him in Ithaca.
