Quote from: arugula on February 17, 2026, 10:56:25 PMToday in the New York Post there was an article about Q's Ethan Wyttenbach, currently leading the nation in scoring. Standard local boy makes good profile except one thing. The article said that his uncle and father played for Cornell in the mid 90s. I could find no trace of them although Dad has it on his LinkedIn.  Anyone from that era have any memory of a Wyttenbach?  Perhaps the Jimmy Rayhill of the 90s.
Also any idea if we tried to recruit the lad?  Beniers was one that really pissed me off. Two parents from Cornell.
I think we talked about this a few days ago and it was determined they played for the non-varsity/club/JV? team?

The dad's LinkedIn specifically mentions "varsity ice hockey" under his Cornell accomplishments. Maybe he was on the practice squad, but not officially on the roster?

No Wyttenbach has ever played for Cornell.  Likewise, there is no age appropriate Wyttenbach in Elite Prospects.

Either the Post is in error (well I never!) or they (and dad) are exaggerating something like a frat league.

Varsity intramurals.
"When we came off, [Bitz] said, 'Thank God you scored that goal,'" Moulson said. "He would've killed me if I didn't."

In the Post article, the dad is quoted as saying something about having to compete for a spot against "20 Canadians from the farm." Sounds like he may have been recruited but never made the team?

Sounds more and more like stolen valor.

Varsity intramurals.
Hey now.  I have played varsity intramurals.  Lifetime stats: 1 GP 0-4-4 2 PIM.

Don't get excited, we won 17-8.  The penalty was for high sticking and it was a fair cop.

Not bad for a 155 lb American who couldn't skate backwards.

Anyone know if we tried to recruit him or too much of a rockhead?

The weekly Casey is out, for those who get it. Much appreciated, good messaging as always.
