To start off GEHF for this week, after a break last week we look back to the Frozen Apple. During one of the stoppages in play, the MSG announcers recognized Olympic gold medalist and Yale alumna Sarah Hughes for attending the game with her Cornell gear prominently. Hughes posted this picture not long after. In case any of you were wondering what a Yalie was doing supporting Cornell, take a closer look at the man with Touchdown. He is none other than John Hughes, captain of Cornell's 1970 team. You know, that undefeated national championship winning team coached by Ned Harkness? Yes, that John Hughes. Hughes is her father. Her mother is also a Cornellian and her siblings have gone to a smattering of schools, amongst them Cornell and Harvard. It was great to see a legend at the game. Especially given that he gave a pre-game speech to the team. Impressive.
Jersey Auction, Ahoy!
Speaking of MSG, does anyone remember the camouflage jerseys that the Big Red wore during the second period of the game? Those very jerseys are being auctioned off with funds going toward the Wounded Warrior Project. Collectively, the jerseys are going for over $15,000. This is a great cause, and the more money raised for the project, the better. Bidding through the website goes through December 6th with final voting via email on the seventh.
Teddy Bears
During the last home game against St. Lawrence, Cornell held their annual teddy-bear toss which, according to the Cornell Hockey Association page, was a success. Money raised from purchases of the bears went to the Franziska Racker Centers and the Cancer Resource Center of the Finger Lakes, while the bears themselves were donated to the Cops, Kids, and Toys foundation.

Markers for Madison
Back in October, Brianne Jenner made known her mission to raise money through a goal drive for Madison Primeau, a young girl undergoing cancer treatment who Jenner knows. Each sponsor will donate one dollar for every goal Jenner posts throughout the season. Last season she posted 20 goals, and as of now she is up to nine. All the money donated goes directly to her medical expenses. As far as we know, she is still collecting sponsors (see the website for information on how to contact Jenner). But on a related but happy note, here is Madison, modeling a signed jersey from the Cornell Women's team.

Harvard Leaking Players?
Though he is still on the roster on the official Crimson site, Over the Boards tweeted that Steve Michalek, one of Harvard's goaltenders who saw a decent amount of playing time last year but none yet this year, has in fact reported to Cedar Rapids (USHL). On top of that, there are now rumors that another Harvard player, sophomore defenseman Max Everson (younger brother of senior Marshall Everson) will be doing the same.

Max Everson, currently at Harvard, has been added to the Omaha Lancers. Status uncertain.

Moran, part of OHL central scouting, reports this recently. While this is entirely speculation, the same exact sort of speculation turned out to be true with regards to Michalek. One has to wonder what exactly is going on with these players.
