My immediate reaction was hearing opposition crowds cheering "mein Kampf" when the guy gets sent to the penalty box.

In this day and age 40% will mean it positively.

And we do have red hats.

Yes, but the one right below it should make you happy: Tyler Wishart is Westchester/Putnam Player of the Year.

"In just nine games this season, the forward had 22 goals and 11 assists to help lead John Jay to the Putnam/Northern Westchester championship in a season altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It was a fitting way to go out for a player whose skills are so pronounced that, as a sophomore, he was recruited by and committed to Cornell, one of the nation's top Division I collegiate programs."

Said he also "considered playing for the University of New Hampshire, Quinnipiac and Boston University."

Keeping in mind that I'm not your attorney, and none of this post should be construed as legal advice:

Recent court rulings and changes in NCAA regs mean that college athletes may now earn money from their name, image, and likeness. I'm of the opinion that this also means it should be relatively simple for a "booster" - who in the past would have been prohibited from giving anything of real value to a student-athlete or a recruit - to use those changes to provide such incentives. The easiest example I can think of is that any local business owner could just sign the athlete to an endorsement deal, which puts money in the athlete's pocket (or dangle the promise of such an endorsement deal to a recruit, presumably).

Time will tell whether that's actually how things are going to shake out.

I thought I read where boosters were expressly prohibited from engaging in NIL agreements

I think Spartan combat associating with Cornell wrestling has made recruitment easier?  Is something akin to this in hockey a possibility?

I agree - wish he had taken a closer look at Cornell.   I got this comment on him from my brother a recently retired Taft teacher, who watched him play at Taft for 2 years.

I was impressed with him during games. He is a superb skater and because he keeps his head up he is a good distributor. He committed to Harvard verbally when he was 15 years old. Like most kids with D1 talent, he departed after his junior year, ...

Today - Sunday August 1, 2021 is a big day in the college hockey calendar.  2005 birth year players can now commit to the college of their choice.  (Harvard has two '05 commits already).  Here's more from Chris Heisenberg.

If I become rich and end up having a lot of money to throw away, I would love to start an NHL franchise and bring an AHL affiliate somewhere close in upstate NY while providing a lot of awesome summer gigs for cornell hockey players (running summer camps and get richly rewarded) in order to make cornell hockey the most attractive D1 destination.
