Another bit of hockey trivia — Eddy Ambis '72, my former dentist and hockey spark-plug at 5'7", also attended Nichols.
.

My records show Ambis as Kimball Union Academy, is that wrong?

Also Nichols:

I'm relying on my memory, which at 80 leaves something to be desired, but I remember a Buffalo-area prep school.  I could be wrong, I'll check further.

Cornell roster says Kimball Union.

I recall Ambis being from Nichols also.  Perhaps he transferred to Kimball Union to play at a different level before Cornell.

I've got Apple Core (EJHL) for Matt so he may well have been Nichols.

Edit: Yup, very good memory!

Hey George - that memory is pretty good.  I found this online.  Nichols clains Ed as one of its alums:

Maybe Cornell scouts should look for aspiring politicians who dabble in hockey? The last one we had like that was a doozie!

Just an update on a 2023 recruit Tyler Wishart.      Joined and Suited up this weekend for the Nanaimo Clippers after being Kimball Union's leading scorer last season.  He's from our area  - speed, skill, instant offense.  You are gonna love him.

I just went through our Commitments' Elite Prospects pages and updated their teams and weights on TBRW.  Several of them put on 20 pounds since their original announcement.  Katz was the only one who grew taller, by two inches.

I think these are more aging 17 to 19 pounds.

In particular, Seger has put up strong numbers on some bad Union teams. Based on his size (6'4), he could be more of a power forward.

3rd in scoring last year; 2nd in scoring his freshman year. Perhaps more importantly, he's clearly not the defensive problem on those bad Union teams.

Big kid that can score and play defense, and who will likely be around for two years? Absolutely great pickup!

Wait, did we just execute a trade with Union, considering where Ben Tupker is headed? Who's the "player to be named later?"

Tupker scored for union tonight in am ot loss to uconn.
