Rookies Take Lead as Cornell Faces Harvard, Dartmouth
The following article appeared in the November 11 issue of the Cornell Daily Sun.
Two weeks have passed in the men’s hockey team’s 2011-12 campaign, and twice a member of the Red has secured ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week honors — a sign that this year’s squad is younger than the group that battled its way back to the conference championship game last season after struggling early.
Freshman forward Brian Ferlin took home the hardware, recording five points in a weekend that saw the Red muster only two points at Yale and Brown. Ferlin’s stand-out performance comes on the heels of a three-point effort from freshman defenseman Joakim Ryan the week prior.
“It’s awesome,” Ferlin said of receiving the award. “I don’t know if I quite expected that early in the season. I’m playing with [juniors John Esposito and Greg Miller], and we got off to a pretty hot start … Hopefully we can keep it rolling.”
