Bancroft to the Bs.

[Pghas]

Dalton Bancroft leaving to sign with the Bs, I think foregoing a year of eligibility.  Hope a lot of these younger incoming freshmen like Pirtle and DeGiulian are ready they are going to have to contribute!

Shane made 30 saves on 33 shots in his pro debut for Norfolk, an OT loss to Reading. He was also still rocking his Cornell pads and helmet: https://www.instagram.com/p/DH9iF62OoII

Sheesh I hope he's able to finish his degree

He can always pull a Pelletier and finish it 14 years later: https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2011/12/nhl-player-returns-cornell-finish-degree

Just as long as he doesn't pull a Greening and go..."elsewhere": https://www.saltwire.com/newfoundland-labrador/st-johns-native-and-former-nhler-colin-greening-headed-for-harvard-business-school-330217

"Greening had attended Cornell University, graduating with honours in 2010 with a degree in applied economics and management. But he had also given some consideration to medical school."

You may remember Shane Hynes '06.  He left early to turn pro but finished up his degree just a few years later.

Did he punch anyone in the kidneys while doing so?

Bancroft to the Bs.

In this article it says that Bancroft helped "Cornell to its most successful three year run in program history".

There weren't any further details so can anyone think of an angle to which these past three years could be considered the best three year stretch in program history?

Of course! Consider how the White House proclaims "the best economy in history" by ignoring anything before or after the current regime. It's how things are done these days.

Nah.  There's a difference between ignorance and narcissistic self aggrandizement.

Of course the current regime has both in spades.

For some reason I always thought Joe Nieuwendyk '88 had also finished his degree - he certainly spent enough time at Cornell, having bought a house on Cayuga Lake right after he left and turned pro - but I can't find any evidence of it.
