A Streak Ends

Due to a death in my family, I will be missing tomorrow's game at New Hampshire. My streak of 43 consecutive (and 60 of the last 62) Cornell hockey games attended will come to an end.

During the last home game of my sophomore season, that year's "cowbell guy" proudly announced that he had made it to every game while holding that honor. As much as I've tried to juggle my commitments to make that happen -- i.e. leaving my fraternity's initiation at 3 a.m. to drive to the NCAA Regional in Grand Rapids, or taking the LSAT at SUNY Albany between games at RPI and Union -- there are some things I can't control.

There should be a good crowd of Cornell fans in Durham tomorrow. Let's go red.
