Article not loading for me...Does this mean he'll miss Estero?

This is the December development camp, which is Dec 12-14. If he makes the team, then he'd be gone from Dec 26th to January 5th, missing Estero.

If it goes to the 5th, he also misses UMass.

If he goes to the development camp, doesn't find any time to study and as a result fails all of his final exams then he may miss more than Estero.

On a serious note, would a professor be likely to reschedule an exam for development camp? Assuming the guy is not a huge Cornell hockey fan, of course.

I would imagine that they would make arrangements for him to take the exam at the camp under the supervision of a coach.

Certainly it depends on the professor, but generally if they are aware of the student's activities and special cases ahead of time, I doubt it's a problem. Heck, I was able to take a couple make-up exams my freshman year so I could go attend rehearsals for a non-Cornell band that was marching in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. All the engineering profs I approached were quite understanding and very accommodating.

Heck, we got a Prelim changed so we could watch a playoff game.::rock::

I'm not sure that it is the same for athletes. Doesn't the NCAA have rules about giving special privileges to athletes? I'm pretty sure that's why every year there are boilerplate stories about student-athletes writing their term papers on the bus on the way to The Big Game.

I'm sure that he will be able to make up the finals. Sasha Pokulok was in a similar situation when he went to Canada's development camp (4 years ago?).

We had one of our wines prelims rescheduled to attend the Frozen Four in Buffalo. ::dribble::

Besides which, rules are made to be broken. The Ivy League also isn't supposed to give athletic scholarships, but I've heard plenty o' rumors that athletes somehow get abnormally generous need-based grants and such.

David LeNeveu took his fall 2002 final exams in January 2003. He said that his professors were very accommodating.

Reasonable professors would hopefully make accommodations for special parts of your college life, athletic or otherwise. Maybe they'd do the same if you got a chance to be a college supervisor of a Habitat for Humanity project in Ecuador that wasn't related to any classwork.
