2022 Incoming Recruits

[scoop85]

Here's the formal announcement from Cornell Athletics

No surprises from the previously available information. Several solid forwards in this group who should contribute right away.

[billhoward]

This is dedication to playing your sport and wanting to keep moving forward. Sweden to Amarillo, Texas, to Union to Cornell. 6-foot-4 is nice and so is 215 pounds. Brown's lacrosse goalie Connor Theriault managed to put 210 onto 5 feet, 7 inches.

Notice hockey gives brief bios, Cornell football just names the incomers and their heighs, weights and hometowns.

Gabriel Seger
F   Uppsala, Sweden/Union
Seger enters Cornell as a transfer from Union College. He will be a junior, and lis ooking to add to Cornell's already heavy returning group of forwards. He brings two years of experience up the middle for Cornell and is well known in the league from his previous two seasons. For the 2019-20 season, Seger earned All Rookie Team recognition in ECAC Hockey. Prior to Union he spent one season for the Amarillo Bulls in the North American Hockey League posting 18 goals and 52 assists for 70 points in 58 games, earning a spot on the NAHL All-South Division Team. Before his arrival in the U.S. for junior hockey, he played one season for the Vaxjo Lakers HC J20 in the J20 SuperElit league in Sweden. Prior to Vaxjo, his entire youth hockey was played for Brynas IF in Sweden. Standing 6-4 215 lbs, he brings 14 goals and 29 assists for 43 points in 71 games from Union to Cornell's forward group.

Cornell still has two more years of having to play against fifth year players, and of having to play against programs who can enroll them in graduate programs, something the Ivies cannot do. It will certainly benefit Cornell when we do not have to deal with this anymore.

I don't know the specifics, but I would guess that Cornell was able to land such a coveted transfer (Seger) because Union was in the same boat, having canceled 2020-21. Presumably, Seger took last year off from school, preserving his status as a junior. Had Seger played in 2020-21, he'd still have two years of eligibility remaining, but he would be a senior, and transferring to Cornell, where he would have only gotten to play one year, wouldn't have made sense.

I don't know the specifics of Seger's eligibility situation. I don't think Seger would have had to unenroll from school in the spring of 2021 to retain Ivy eligibility for 2023-24. I believe he just has to avoid graduating from Cornell before the beginning of that academic year. As a transfer, he'd presumably need the 2023-24 academic year to fulfill all the requirements for graduation.

After he played his youth hockey for Brynäs in Gävle, Seger spent the 2017-18 season playing for Växjö Lakers HC J20. For the beginning of that season, Cam Abbott was his head coach. In November 2017, Cam left Växjö to become the head coach of Rögle BK, which also hired Chris Abbott to be the GM.

I don't know what role Cam played in Gabriel Seger's decision to transfer to Cornell, but I am confident that Seger's connection to Cam didn't hurt Cornell's cause.

I'm old-school enough [C.U.'64] to suspect that even C.U. hockey transfers might take into account the reputation of a Cornell education could benefit their non-hockey, post-university careers and lives

Is Max Andreev returning?  I don't see him on the 2022-2023 roster that is posted.

Is Max Andreev returning?  I don't see him on the 2022-2023 roster that is posted.

Maybe his case is still being adjudicated.  Mike seemed to think it would be granted.

Let's hope he didn't go home for summer.

[CAS]

Believe the roster posted is not accurate - it includes only last year's frosh, sophs, & juniors.

[BearLover]

The roster now includes the incoming freshmen, but lists Ben Tupker as a senior, even though he is confirmed to be transferring out. (And Joe Howe is listed as a sophomore.) My guess is someone just added the incoming freshmen and it bumped everyone else up a class, including bumping the seniors off the roster altogether.
