Money: Cornellians lost to (and gained from) the portal

No, but what the fuck does he mean by next level??? Did he watch that stupid McKenna Hobey video on loop and get convinced that the ECAC isn't real NCAA hockey?

well if you put it that way, he may have a point 😁.jk a former yale goalie doing very well with the sabres. Ezac teams can def produce good goalies.

Cournoyer said he entered the transfer portal because he was looking for a new challenge.
"I just wanted to jump to the next level," he said. "I decided to enter the portal because we thought, my family and my adviser, that I could get a better opportunity. And Wisconsin reached out right after so it worked out pretty well."

Wisconsin definitely told him to add that "right after" to anything he said.

Can anyone break this paywall?

The portal window was 15 days, right?  Does that mean Walsh will not go to the portal, meaning we could still lose him to the pros but not another school?

It was good enough for Nethery and Tredway.

Merci!

I figured because it was a tiny site, that standard paywall breakers wouldn't work. But archive did the trick!

I think the portal is still open until April 27th.

From my (very) limited interactions with Walsh, yammerings around Lynah, and every understanding I have from articles, interviews, etc... that man isn't going to transfer. He might sign a pro contract (at this point, he would definitely do that over the summer if he does), but he seems to value the Cornell degree very strongly. I would have a VERY hard time believing he transfers, especially because the places he'd transfer are either WAY worse off than Cornell or terrible academically. Or both.

Plus, and this is again my speculation, he seems to be very... I dunno the word. Cognizant of the captainly responsibility? Loyal? Dedicated? You get my gist here.

And he has his BFF Kraft here. They've played together for ages.

Put all of that together, and Walshy is either gonna be in Ithaca or Providence next year.

Yes, it opened the day after the title game and closes April 27.

But hey, that argument that we want the ECAC to be a weak conference sure holds up.

somehow i doubt the sole reason he went to wisconsin was a "new level". although that's rich to say!
