Do you know how many states and Canadian provinces have produced Cornell players over the years? I know that we once went through this exercise for RPI, but I don't recall how many states there were. We have had players from all of the Canadian provinces, unless you count Yukon, NWT, and Nunavut, or regard Labrador being separate from Newfoundland.

Yes, I can run that tonight. I have queries for states, provinces, and countries all set up but I can only access the back end DB from home.

Several sites listed him as a Holy Cross commit last spring/summer.... I guess he changed his mind... Our gain; HC's loss!

Rego was a point-per-game defenseman on the top team in the AJHL's West Division after playing prep school hockey in Massachusetts. I wonder if this season drew extra recruiting attention...

Looks like we're getting another Kaldis/Malinsky type D-man, which will be nice with Yanni graduating.

I have a '99 son and a '01 who both played with Tim at prep school and U18 club. Great kid, great family, great wheels and competitive drive. Awesome news!

Rego is another 2000 hence probably another for Fall 2020.

19-33-52 in 46 GP for Brooks; leading D scorer on his team by a huge margin. 2nd among D scoring in the entire league. The #1 guy (Michael Benning) is a Denver commit.

We seem to be getting high quality as well as quantity. And that is how it's done.

Tim is very quick and he gets very involved in the offense. Will be fun to watch with a Cornell sweater on.

Neutral Zone says Rego is a "polished skater and two-way D-man. Soft hands and makes accurate passes. Keeps his gaps tight, can run a PP, upside as a top-4 guy at Cornell. Versatile and athletic."

Interesting list, Trotsky. Who was from the Northwest Territories?

Not that it is important, but didn't Quebec change to QC?

Yes, the stories that I remember hearing about Joe's home were: A: He lived 1000 miles north of Edmonton and B: He lived so far from campus that he couldn't go home for Christmas and get back before break ended. WOW!!

Yes, it's officially QC, Others:

NW Territories is NT
Newfoundland is NL (Newfoundland and Labrador)
Saskatchewan is SK.

And I'm surprised that we've never had someone from PEI.

I keep PQ because I like it. Likewise, NDak will always be the Sioux and Colgate will always be the Red Raiders.

Anybody who doesn't like it is welcome to build their own site. :-)
