Luke Cain's first season with the Union men's hockey team ended with a nasty broken right tibia in a Nov. 9 game at Dartmouth.

But the Dutchmen forward will get a chance to make up for that lost year, thanks to the NCAA. It recently approved a medical redshirt for Cain, meaning he has four years of eligibility.
