Alumni in the pros 23-24

[Dafatone]

I figured Howe wanted to play and realized Shane had usurped him.

yeah, just strikes me as a strange move to leave a team because you want to play and then never join another team.

Huh. I didn't realize he wasn't playing at all.

I don't think chimpfood's post is totally without merit, although I won't comment on whether the drug story is true or not. I meant to post about this at some point and the mention of Howe jogged my memory.

Within the past year, I met a recent alumnus who was on one of the other athletic teams on campus and was somewhat close with enough of the guys on the hockey team in the 2021-22 season. Now as some of you probably know, athletes have plenty of mixers and other social events together during the academic year so I'd say this person was credible and he/she had no reason to lie or make up stories.

We were talking about the performance of the hockey team this season and the topic of Shane came up. I commented how it's amazing that Shane, who had been the third string goaltender his first year, rose to become the starter due to injuries and the poor performance of the two guys ahead of him. When I mentioned Howe in particular, this person quickly responded that it wasn't just injuries but also something he did off the ice that violated school policy or local laws (he/she didn't elaborate) that resulted in his being kicked off the team along with at least one other player at the time.

Regardless of the circumstances, I'm glad we've had Shane in net for the better part of the past three seasons

For what it's worth: following the 2021-22 season, four players left the team prior to using their four years of eligibility: Howe, Ertel, and Dan Mcyntire (all freshmen), and B. Tupker (graduated early).

Pretty much every rumor I have heard about Cornell hockey players for the last 40 years has been uncorroborated if not exposed later as deliberately malicious.

Another shootout winner for Malott on Friday.  Traditional celebration

The Jets are getting blown out 6-1 by the Isles (halfway through the 3rd), but Barron is going for the Gordie Howe hat trick with an assist and a fight already under his belt. The "fight" wasn't much to to write home about, but the video is here:

Probably frustrated because the season kept getting canceled.

Wow those are some bold, completely unsubstantiated projections. I was in the Greek system and never knew of or saw anyone "doing coke" at a party. I don't even think it was a thing when I was in school. Way to perpetuate the rumors that all Greeks like to do is party though.

When I was a Greek, coke was something you mixed with rum to get your date drunk.  

Seriously though, while there are certainly bad actors in the Greek system, helping manage a small enterprise in college, helped me later in my career.  You get out, what you put in.

Not sure when you attended Cornell, but I know for a fact there are multiple fraternities and sororities where doing coke is commonplace. There is nothing unique about Cornell in this respect. You put a bunch of rich kids who like to party in one place, that's what you're gonna get.

And, dare i say it, it's not a huge deal, scandal, or outrage.

Watching the replay of last night's Lehigh Valley versus Bridgeport game.  Both Bardreau and Kubiak playing for Bridgeport.  

Kubiak was referred to as a "veteran player."  Really?

He's been in the AHL since 2017, so, yeah?

I know, but I think of "veteran" as somebody in their mid-30's.

Pretty sure it is or would be to coach Schafer or any of the other varsity coaches. Engaging in illegal activity is a big deal.

i don't disagree. i'm speaking about the notion that regular cornell students might do this
