Here's something I don't think I've seen mentioned...

Not tempting the woofing gods here, but should Cornell manage to win the ECAC Championship, anyone think that  that could have an impact on Castagna's decision? I believe he would then have a chance to be among the first Cornell players to win an ECAC championship all four years, as I don't believe freshman were allowed to play on the 1967 varsity team, and the only time Cornell has won four straight ECAC championships was 1967-1970.

I realize winning the championship is a ways off, and even if it happens, it may not be a factor, but I hope it may be.

I do not think the team's performance would influence him short of winning the NCAA title.  At that point I can see him thinking there was nothing more he could experience or achieve in college hockey.

I am willing to risk losing him early in that eventuality.
