Huh.  Not how I expected this to end.  I assumed we would get one David Wright shift and a retirement.

Solid player.  Tough injury.

Seems a shame, but I suppose the team had moved on.

Good luck to him, wherever he ends up.

This is a weird and disturbing twist to what seems like a saga:

...not least given that his Twitter account - which UMass references directly in their tweet - is still quite obviously a paean to Cornell.

Good luck to Ryan.

Fuck Boston with a rusty saw for all eternity.

But this part of the post makes it sound like he was planning on transferring some time ago.

QuoteBliss has 1-1/2 seasons of eligibility remaining, so he'll be able to play for UMass next season as well. He was out with an injury after leaving Cornell, which delayed his transfer.

CHN's brief article.

Not that it sheds any new light.

Just win and make him regret his decision.

the article says he's a grad transfer so maybe he was using his injury time to take more credits here in order to finish up his undergrad degree then starting his academic program a semester early at UMass.

Did he earn his bachelor's degree in December?

Not according to the box score. I doubt he'll see any ice time this season. It sounds like he's pretty far from returning to the ice, at least at the level necessary to be a productive D-I player. See the UMass coach's comments here:
