Yeah?  Well, wait 'til someone says it's been "forever" since you graduated. ;-)

It's already been 7 years since a parent sidled up to me in the stands during warmup and asked, "which one is yours?" :-(

Phil,

It looks like Joe hasn't played in the last 4 games, any word?

I also saw where Joe's teammate, Brian Stewart committed to NMU. Stewart's having a great year thus far for the Bulldogs.

Yeah, Joe Scali is injured..it's undisclosed, but I read that he's likely out until the end of January.

Also of note, I read a recap of a Bobcats game that talked about how Tony Romano has been playing through an injury for the last month or so. I realize it's against inferior competition, but it puts his stats in an even better light.

Blake Gallagher has not been listed on the roster for a bunch of games for the Hounds. He played well at the Prospects game, but I wonder if he too isn't fighting some sort of injury.

Finally, looking into the future..Brendon Nash's little brother Riley is 16 and a very good hockey (and lacrosse) player. Let's hope he's as academically inclined as his brother. He was selected for a BC Midget Hockey All-Star game, but had to decline because he's attending the World Under 17 Hockey Challenge with Team Pacific.

I saw on USCHO that Richard Bachman (the goalie from Cushing mentioned here a while ago) is deciding between Cornell, Colorado College, and Harvard. He's on the NHL Central Scouting players to watch list as a B (just like Blake Gallagher and Brendon Nash)[/q]

According to Heisenberg's site, Bachman chose Collorado College.

[Q]Also having decided on a college route recently was Trent Palm from the US National Program, who chose to remain home at Minnesota Duluth rather than take offers from Cornell, Harvard and Providence.[/Q]

A bit of good news, after we lost out on yet another goaltender. The BCHL announced the teams for their All-Star game:

Colin Greening and Joe Scali both made the Coastal Conference All-Stars (not 1st or 2nd team), and Brendon Nash was named 2nd team defenseman in the Interior Conference.

Yes, but I heard it was down to CC & Harvard and he chose CC so good news for Cornell.  I don't think that Cornell was really in the running.

I dunno that that's good news for CU in the long run.  Everyone on our side of the family benefits from blue chippers going to the ECACHL, even the ones that end up at H or CCT.

Agreed.  I would rather see a recruit go to Cornell than to Michigan or Wisconsin.  I want to see the level of talent sway back to the East.....even if that means some of it has to go to Ithaca.  An all WCHA Frozen 4 just doesn't do it for me....

A guy that I talk to on a regular basis who knows junior hockey inside and out is getting very worried for Cornell's goaltending situation and suggested that they perhaps take Davenport back.  Interesting idea.

Are his fears predicated on McKee not coming back?  Also, how many years of eligibility does Davenport have? 3?

I think his fears are more centered around McKee graduating after next year and there being no apparent successor (DiLeo is not it).  I don't think anyone is concerned about McKee not coming back with his performance thus far in the season.  Davenport would have to sit out a year, BUT if he came back to Cornell I would assume that he could play right away.

Hasn't Troy Davenport already sat out nearly all of that year?  I think (but am not 100% certain) that he would be eligible to play for any Division I team in the spring semester.

That aside, what kind of message about commitment to the team would it send if the coaching staff were to allow Troy Davenport to return to the team?
