From today's Harvard Crimson:

Well, if her training schedule isn't that rigid, then why not even consider Cornell in the article. I mean last I checked, most of New Jersey was just as close if not closer to Cornell then Harvard. But Columbia the logical alternative? Where's the loyalty? Okay, it is his daughter's decision and maybe they'll just give all the ice time at Bright to her and none to the men's hockey team.

The article mentions a Matt Hughes who attends Ithaca College. Who was the Hughes that was on the hockey team here? And how many children are there in the Hughes family?

EDIT: Found it in an old post titled "Little Used Red Players" The Red player was Kelly Hughes.

And I thought you were committed to a school if you applied early decision, no switching after that.... Well, now we can run into her and Princess Amidala in Harvard Square....

actually it was dave hughes who was the son who played for cornell a few years ago - kelly hughes is simply another hughes on the team from the same year

Harvard's early decisions program has never been binding, as are many other early admissions programs.

Something tells me that the guys partied harder than the girls during high school in the Hughes family

littleredfan · December 17, 2002, 01:30:21 PM

little sister = Emily Hughes?

Let's hope she's a little bit more mature. A few years back Queen Amidala threw a tantrum at the door to the Roxy in Boston before a show by Moby. The people at the door didn't want to let her in because she wasn't 21. She used the "Do you know who I am?" routine.

I think that's an urban legend, or at least an exaggeration. I could be wrong, though.

nyc94 · December 17, 2002, 03:13:47 PM

Well, it may be an exaggeration but it comes to me from pretty good sources in the Boston radio scene that were at the show. I'm inclined to believe something happened.

Yep. Another teen skater.

Greg Berge · December 17, 2002, 06:18:06 PM

Harvard has a pretty significant historical commitment to skating (Wylie, Button, etc). It's probably the best place for Sarah to go. And she can host Evening with Champions for four years.

Yale is ending binding early decision with the class of '08. I wish they would just ditch the whole early decision BS. Early decision sometimes puts undue pressure on those who are honest about not being sure where they want to go to school.
