IIRC - Ithaca High grad, not really recruited much elsewhere and wanted to go to Cornell regardless, kind of a hometown courtesy roster spot. I don't think he played a single minute for Cornell, but he's reliably back for these alumni and/or charity events, which is a pretty nice level of commitment on his part.

Nice to see Topher in the mix. I've really enjoyed his podcasts on player development lately. Fingers crossed someone like him makes it back to the hill someday.

Gosh I totally forgot about this and just might have to bail early at work to go watch!

Would Matt Hedge like to contribute to an NIL fund for the hockey team?

I was just coming to ask or to see if anyone will be posting updates.
Can't get off of work so I'm bummed.
I doubt it will be online as it's a charity game and it's $10 at the gate

Lol... got a frickin' endoscopy in [checks calendar] about a week, so. Hopefully I get to head back up to Ithaca afterwards. I was supposed to be at home for "four days"... this was in May...
