But, in each case, they lost that year of eligibility. The Ivy League, to my knowledge, does not have "red-shirting" in the sense that you can't take a player and stash him in the weight room for a year, the way lots of football powers do. (I don't know whether that happens in hockey or not, though I kind of doubt it... Wisconsin's three potential red-shirts are apparently all due to injury). However, the Ivy League does follow the NC$$ convention and allows red-shirting for injury reasons. I think the player has to petition the league, though. I don't remember any Cornell hockey players doing this either, but I do know a Cornell football player has done so: Scott Oliaro, back in the late '80s, lost his senior season to a knee injury (as I recall) and came back the following year with another season of eligibility. In hockey, I know that Bill Holowatiuk, who lost a year with knee problems, could have returned to the Big Red this season with a red-shirt year but chose not to. Vinnie Auger, whose sophomore season disappeared thanks to a back injury, is eligible for a red-shirt year, and I understand that he might consider it, depending on how this season goes. -- Disclaimer -- Unless otherwise noted, all opinions expressed above are strictly those of: Bill Fenwick Cornell '86 and '95 LET'S GO RED!!
