Re: Cornell 2019
I just read on Twitter that a 30 year old player has made the team. It sounds like a great story. I was wondering if any Big Red fans had any background regarding the situation

Re: Cornell 2019
Is this possible? I thought there was an upper age limit imposed by the Ivy League or NCAA or someone. Remembering Dick Bertrand who was ineligible to play hockey his senior year because he had turned 26 [or 27]. Of course, that was 1969-70 season so things may have changed.
Re: Cornell 2019
Is it possible he has maxed out his eligibility years. Five years from initial registration to complete four years of eligibility ?
Re: Cornell 2019
I believe he was in the military.
Re: Cornell 2019
No, it was an age issue back then. Bertrand graduated in four years. Immediately after graduating, he replaced Harkness as head coach.OCanada wrote:Is it possible he has maxed out his eligibility years. Five years from initial registration to complete four years of eligibility ?

The player's name is Hunter Hughes. He was in the USMC from 2008-2014. He graduated Westlake High School. I wish him all the luck in the world.
Dick Bertrand was a policeman before deciding to return to university. He was able to play in the regular season, but (at a certain age) not NCAA post season play.

Re: Cornell 2019
According to the Cornell lax website roster, Hunter Hughes is from Thousand Oaks CA and went to Thousand Oaks HS. He is a junior transfer and listed as a faceoff specialist. Conor O'Brien went to Westlake HS [he is a senior]. Having someone with Hughes' background in the lockerroom has to be a plus for the younger guys on the team.

Re: Cornell 2019
You are correct. He was assistant coach at Westlake High School in 2018.
Re: Cornell 2019
Have a similar experience having spent eight years in the military (one in Vietnam) and playing at the age of 27. Some people make too big of a deal of it, IMO, but all in all definitely a plus to have that kind of a little more worldly and experienced person in the locker room. There is a level of respect shown by most, and a good coach will know how to tune in on that.enterprise wrote

Glad to see it, will be pulling for Mr. Hughes.
(When I saw his age, I suspected he might have been in the military.)
Re: Cornell 2019
A good one for 2020.
I’d been keeping my eye on this player for a little while as I’d been following his already committed teammates.
Rory Graham, 2020, Big Red.

Re: Cornell 2019
Does the addition of Hunter Hughes mean that the faceoff guy from Australia is / might not be coming after all?

Australian face-off man Tim Graham was accepted by the school yesterday and will join @CornellLacrosse next month with four years of eligibility. A product of @MalvernLacrosse in Melbourne, he's been strong with the Aussie National Team, splitting with Baptiste over the summer.

Seems like an Ivy League arm's race.
