And his brief article.

And his noticeably upset coach calls him a quitter in an interview with the press.  I am not sure I blame the kid for leaving the team if that is how the supposedly-mature adult in the dynamic handles the situation.  There is always more to a story like this.

I suppose when you're supposedly-mature national champion you can be petulant.

His decision doesn't seem to be tied to the hockey team, however I hope (within the bounds of the rules) some contact is made with him on the off chance he might like to give another school a shot...

Yeh. He'd be perfect for us.  Scoring line: 0 2 2.::rolleyes::

It seems like he has more class than his former coach.

I have a soft spot for legacies.  And he went 21-33-54 in 46 GP in his final year in the OJHL, FWIW.

He also did great in the league playoffs and the Dudley-Hewitt Cup, but he was invisible in the Royal Bank Cup. I watched the latter on-line because RPI had two recruits on the same team (Mike Prapavessis, a current freshman, and Jacob Hayhurst who is expected to arrive in 2016).

So, sounds like a strong D3 player.  Like "AAAA" players in baseball, who can dominate AAA but are blown away by MLB.

Has any Cornell player ever tranferred to D3 and done well there?  Only guy who comes to mind is the Utavian... whose name doesn't come to mind.  Levi something?

Matt McKeown left Cornell and went to Fredonia and had a solid three year career there.

Also had a few guys leave and go play CIS hockey, most recently Jacob Johnston and Jordan Berk.

I suspect that he will go to a CIS school. According to HockeydB he is born on 8/27/93. If he sits out a year, he will be almost 26 when he graduates.

A new commit -- our first Russian perhaps, Trotsky?

Did I read the tweet correctly to say that he's a "great finishing" forward? ::cheer::

What's the over/under on the number of unique pronunciations that visiting announcers will use during his (illustrious, productive, record-breaking - we can hope!) career?
