The bear was not held responsible for that incident (all [pronoun] did was
handle the doll; it was the section B fans who shredded it), and as far as
I've been able to tell, nobody was officially reprimanded for it.
The bear was simply unavailable to skate this past week. (Truth-obscuring
gender neutral pronoun) will return for Cornell's next home games, on Feb.
9 and 10.
