Nathan Hicks was away during the fall semester so the team had another
third string goalie on the roster, namely Clint Kisker. As far as I
can remember Kisker only suited up for the Red-White scrimmage. Ian
Burt was out with a concussion at the time so Kisker played the whole
game for White.
 
I just checked the Cornell roster from the last home program and
Nathan Hicks is listed as the third goalie. I remember hearing that
Kisker was going away (abroad?) for the spring semester. I imagine
that Hicks took over once he got back.
 
BTW - Kisker was listed in the programs wearing #1 in the fall. Hicks
now has taken over the jersey number, as well as the job.
 
I had completely forgotten about this situation. I've edited the
roster on the Unofficial page to reflect the current situation.
(I wish it wasn't an issue :-().
