Is there any reason for allowing grad transfers to play in new locations but not their undergrad school?

The Ivies don't give you the same five-year span to use your four years of eligibility; you have to use them in your first four unless one's a medical redshirt, and even those are rare exceptions for which you have to apply.

Yes, and for this bit of Ivy inspiration we can all be grateful pissed off until we cease the act of inspiration.

Has Cam only been active for three years? Feel like it's been four. Maybe this season is the fourth and it's COVID messing everything up?

The bigger restriction is the Ivy's strict rule against grad students playing.  With Covid exceptions allowed, you can stretch things to 5-years by not graduating and then finishing academically the next year.  That is what Jeff Teat was planning to do.  It's a little easier in lacrosse where the season only encompasses one semester.  Hockey, spanning two semesters, might make it harder to maintain undergrad status if you were close to graduation requirements.

F Tristan Mullin headed to Vermont for 2nd semester. Would have been a captain at Cornell this season. Excellent add for building program. (Mark Divver on Twitter)

Perhaps it's best to figure out who hasn't left/may be coming back next year out of what would have been the senior class. So far, I haven't seen anything about:

Betts
Locke
Haiskanen
McGrath

Did I miss a transfer? Also, none of "this year's" juniors or sophomores has left, right?

Shades of Justin Milo a decade ago, Cornell to Vermont, except Cornell would have been happy to have Mullin return. LinkedIn has Milo about to become a pediatric dentist.

Just to clarify, Mullin is moving on as a graduate transfer.

Agree. Vermont has been a really bad team for the last few years, so adding a (woulda been) senior captain coming from a consistently league-winning program is huge add for team culture alone...the talent level is a bonus.

at this point, I'm assuming none will be here next year.  let's all move on, and if one does return, that'll be a surprise bonus.

Between outright transfer and not being able to play anyway, yes.

We're starting over, along with 7 other ECAC teams.

I like to count my surprise bonuses before they hatch. And I'll move on when I damn well please, thank you.

I know it's unrealistic to hope that any of them will return, given the hoops the Ivy League makes these kids jump through quite unnecessarily. But I'd sure be glad if one or more of them comes back.

No we're not; not from scratch, anyway. I'm looking forward to seeing the then sophomores as seniors, particularly Andreev; and I'm looking forward to two more (perhaps three for Stienburg) years of the then freshmen. There are other teams in this league, even some who will play this year, that would be pretty overjoyed to be rebuilding around that group.
