Alumni in the pros 2022-2023

Seriously though, kind of the inverse of your point, as a Rangers fan, it took me a while to warm up to Fox.  Helps that he's great, local, and seems like a very decent guy.  I don't recall being all that impressed with him at Sucks, but then I tried not to watch too much and we were pretty pretty good then.  I hope Travis is traded from the Isles so I don't have to root against him.

Unless you hate the Bridgeport Islanders, I doubt you'll have to worry about it. Hope I'm wrong though!

The isles have cap issues so they may have room for Travis but you're likely right.

Stienburg signs and will join Malinski in the AHL for the rest of the year

All that forfeited tuition and fees. Hope it works out for them.

They'll get their degrees in the summer.

I advised a number of hockey players who turned pro before graduating over my 30+ years on the faculty.  Virtually all of them graduated, it was just a question of how long it took.  In the early years, guys almost always had to come back at some point to finish, mainly because most if not all colleges at Cornell require the last semester to be in residence to get a degree.

Today, most players who are drafted or who develop into NHL caliber players when they start at Cornell plan their academic calendar in anticipation of leaving early.  It is much easier than ever before to structure your senior year so even if you sign with a team, you can graduate with your class, or at worst, get a degree in August.  Players will set up a schedule so that they only need to take 12 credits in the spring [the minimum required to be a full-time student eligible to compete].  They will be upfront with faculty about their situation and avoid classes where a professor might not be flexible about giving an incomplete and allowing work to be made up later.  They might take a bunch of one and two-credit classes that meet in the first half of the semester.  They will do independent study and/or take courses with recorded lectures or other mechanisms to ease the effect of missing classes.  They avoid courses where attendance is required or seminars where in-class participation is a significant part of the grade.  Once they sign a contract, their NCAA eligibility ends so no one cares whether they take incompletes and submit missed work at some later date.

Among the players who took this route was at least one who won the ECAC academic achievement award.

Since the ECAC Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year award was initiated in 2007, four Cornellians have won it — Colin Greening, 2009-10; Keir Ross, 2011-12; Andy Iles, 2013-14; and Kyle Betts, 2020-21.  The only other school with as many as four players honored is Union.

Morgan Barron converted on his first NHL penalty shot to put Winnipeg up 3-0 against the Devils tonight:

Women's World Championships:  Rebecca Johnston gets Canada's 3rd goal against Switzerland.  Jaime Bourbonnais getting some love from the TSN announcers.  Micah Zandee-Hart and Kristin O'Neill getting decent ice time, and of course, Brianne Jenner.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Women's Worlds Championship Game:  Jenner with two goals (so far).  She's having a hell of a game.

Canada up 3-2 over the USA late in the 2nd.

[Trotsky]

USA 6 Canada 3, final.

Yeah, the third period was ugly.

First period of his NHL playoff career, Barron gets cut pretty badly above the eye by the Las Vegas goalie's skate in a scramble in front of the net. Blood dripping into the crease.
Back on the ice in the second period.

Too bad it wasn't the day before Halloween, Barron had no game the next night, and got to open the door for kids looking for a handout but no shock.

We drove our son and his best friend (went on to be the Union manager in the championship year) 30 minutes up to Livingston to knock on Brodeur's door, it was an off night for the Devils, and whatever candy it was Scott got from No. 30, he kept it in a cheap brandy / display glass (maybe from my fraternity days, the kind that held 30 books of matches so you could show off how many class hotels you'd been to) by his bed until around Christmas.
