Looks like Beecher is from Elmira. Bummer

I spent most of my life in the Elmira area.  I was deeply disappointed to hear that he chose Michigan.   Perhaps Cornell was too educationally challenging.

Maybe he wanted to get outta Dodge.

You must have heard about Elmira.  Most want to get out of that "Dodge".    I did, but I remained close enough for Cornell Hockey.  That's unlikely to change.

Maybe he found it too financially challenging, given that Michigan gives athletic scholarships.

Also, maybe we shouldn't feel too sorry for not having one of these first-rounders. It seems they don't start to add much value until they spend 2-3 years in the NC$$, at which point they jump to the pros. None of the schools on Trotsky's list even made the NC$$ tourney this year, whereas the only players on our team that went pro were three seniors. Most of this year's team will be back next fall, and hopefully our luck with injuries will be much better (regress towards the mean).

I did my time in Chem E. at both schools.  There is nothing that is not challenging about U. M.'s school of engineering. I also felt the positive atmosphere there had a benefit vs. the cutthroat need to get to med school at any cost bullshit that underlied so many of my chemistry courses at Cornell. Michigan also has many grad programs that are considered top 10.

Poison Ivy 101.

What's Beecher's major?

Harvard loses a defenseman.  They also lost recruits Ryan Del Monte and Cole Shepard who bolted to the CHL.

Interesting decision. He was elected captain for this season and is a 3 time ECAC Hockey All-Academic selection.

It is a two way deal for 2 years.

So, two senior D graduations, two junior D departures, and one senior (mostly starting) goalie graduation. They return a sophomore D, a freshman D, and a junior backup (although probably pretty good) goaltender.

Going to be an interesting year in Alston, methinks.

His rights had just been traded.  I assume his new team had more of a need and offered more.

On the USCHO Harvard thread they're already calling it a rebuilding year, and that thread is typically like a Redskins fan whose only question is how many points they'll win the NFC title game by.  B-]

I never trust Harvard to suck, but if they do that's one less thing to worry about.

Good news is they are guaranteed to finish no worse than 4th place in the 2020 Beanpot.

3rd.

Harvard can always be depended upon in an consolation game.

There's a non-zero chance of another cheating/academic scandal (as in 2013) and enough players get kicked out this time to cancel the season.

A man can dream, can't I?
