ESPNet SportsZone's Al Morganti is reporting that Calgary Flames star holdout cener Joe Nieuwendyk (Cornell '88) is back in Ithaca. This really is not surprising since he has a home there and he played with new coach Mike Schafer '86. Is he skating with the team to stay in shape? Is that sort of thing allowed by the NC$$? Also, if he is skating with the team, could he give coaching tips? What would be the NC$$ position on that? Has anyone spotted him at Dunbar's yet? Lots of questions...can someone in Ithaca help me out? (Bill?, Paulette?) BTW, I just found out that I will be in Ithaca next weekend and my father-in-law has procured tickets to at least the Harvard game, maybe the Brown game too! Yesssss! Maybe they can finally put together a regular season win against Harvard. Cornell hasn't been able to do it since I was an undergrad and Schafer, Nieuwendyk were on the team (0-17-3?) :-(.
