Former College Players and the Olympics

No former Cornellians played in yesterday's game, but there was plenty of collegiate representation on Team USA. Here's a nice column by Adam Wodon.

American hockey may get noses thumbed at it by those North of the border, but college hockey often gets it even worse. So to see a new generation of American players, many of whom honed their skills in OUR game — the U.S. college game — excel on that level, exceed expectations, and show guts, skill and tenacity under that microscope — was a site to behold.

NHL fans discovered many of these players well after you and I did, as we watched these guys flourish in our college game.
