Recruits beyond 2020

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

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.

FWIW there are already three AHL franchises within 90 miles of Ithaca.

I meant having an ahl team affiliated with the NHL team for the sake of having them work closely. I suppose buying an AHL team nearby and encouraging some interaction between cornell hockey and the ahl team could also be beneficial as well and cost far less.

I understood.  My point was you could get a new NHL team and then create an affiliation with one of the existing AHL teams. Because there's no place close to Ithaca that doesn't already have a team.  Albany is probably the closest possibility.

Wasn't sure where to put this but just a heads up that Travis Mitchell is at the Boston Bruins development camp this week. The camp started this morning and runs through Friday.

Incoming mens freshman announced...

Here is a link to the roster

Team seems particularly large (physically) this year.  

Of the 30 on the roster, only 4 players under 6' tall.  14 players 6'2" or taller...

[Trotsky]

I thought Muzyka split?

I thought Muzyka split?

Agreed, I figured Muzyka wouldn't be back after having only played 7 games in the NAHL.  Must not have gotten a better offer, but I'd be surprised if he sees the ice. Speaking of walk-on dmen, Song is no longer on the roster, so that departure has been confirmed.

Not gonna lie, I love seeing "Fifth Year" on three of those players, particularly on those three players.

Agreed.  But I would love it if all the players who were affected from the next three classes also have the same option, and I do not think that is the case unless they didn't matriculate last year.

14 new players skating at once is, by historical standards, insane.  

Largest effective (first year playing) entering classes (F/D/G) since freshmen became eligible.

14 2022 7/5/2
14 1993 9/4/1
14 1979 9/3/2

To give an idea of what first year classes looked like when freshmen couldn't play:

17 1976 10/6/1
15 1965 9/4/2

And let's not forget the greatest first year class ever:

19 1958 12/5/2

which is what happens when you start a program.

[The Rancor]

Wow... that team is enormous.

[upprdeck]

how does it compare to the other ivies is what matters. we need to compete with brown/princ/hard/yale to have a decent season.

[CU2007]

We'll start slowish but we'll all be impressed and optimistic right around the end of January

just finish in the top 12 and make a run in the playoffs coach says
