Here's a nice piece on Rebecca Johnston, reflecting on her collegiate career and what's next.

Before Monday night's Rangers-Senators game there was a short ceremony honoring four members of the Canadian women's hockey team. I missed the introductions at the start so I don't know which players they were. Did anyone see if any of them were Cornellians?

But this quote?

"When I was at Cornell, my first year, we had 10 people in the stands that were probably all parents. Mind you, we weren't that good.

"Now, in my last two years, we would get a couple of thousand fans to every game," she added.

So, for those who went to games, true?

Ten per game might be an exaggeration because a lot of Tompkins girls hockey player who were in the "Cub Club" would be there with their families.  But if attendance topped 100 it would be a huge crowd.  Remember, the year before Johnston hit campus, the team won 4 games or something woeful like that.

Attendance in the last 2 years has been at least 500 for most games.  Especially if followed by a men's game or basketball.  And "a couple of thousand" for several games, esp during the playoffs, which Cornell hosted, thanks to the team's success.

I think you're pretty much spot on. This year's team averaged 920 (good for 5th in the country), though skewed a bit by the playoffs.

I'm going to guess that Anna Zorn is related to Liz Zorn '10. Also good to see that we'll have a full complement of defensemen for next year.

[mattj711]

Correct.  She is Liz's younger sister.

I saw a roster which had her height listed at 5'10" or "11.  Hopefully, she has good speed and mobility to go along with it.

And I'm going to guess that Taylor Woods is related to Tiger Woods. Let's hope she's as good as scoring as he is (using different senses of the word, of course).

Wow.  That is just inappropriate.  The assumption that the Zorns are related makes sense as siblings attending Cornell is not unheard of (see: Johnston's sibling, the Overgaards, etc).

Relax. It was just a joke. I know they're probably not related.

I guess it was inappropriate. I apologize.
