was his profile photo was taken when he was 10? reminds me of a story my brother told me during his semester abroad. a fellow student in the program from argentina had an apparently valid passport near the end of it's life but the photo was from when he was like 9 and during a border crossing he was refused entry.

This pandemic must be a nightmare for recruiters of scholastic athletes. I suspect it may level the playing field" [ice?] for the next few years?

It might work the other way.  Insofar as there's an opportunity cost for committing to a college, in an uncertain environment kids (well, parents) may only that for elite programs.

So... good thing we are one.

I was thinking more along the lines of identifying talented recruits. If kids don't get to play competitive hockey for the next couple of years due to the pandemic it's going to badly handicap the ability of recruiters to identify [and recruit] talented college hockey prospects.

they will really need to trust people who can see these kids play and feed them information..  it also helps cornell because we dont have near the travel budget of some other programs.

Hadn't thought of that.  Very interesting, thanks.

We'll also get a tidal wave as kids stack up as seasons are canceled.  I don't expect more than one full season lost, but who knows?
