Vince Mihalek, a forward with a steady presence on the Big Red's lineup is one who has had quite a run-up to his senior year. Before he began Cornell, the Ohio native played a season in the USHL and the BCHL.  He was named the team's most improved player in the BCHL right before he arrived on campus. Cornell's senior forward scored 30 points in his time there. Mihalek came to Cornell with a recruiting class that we at WAFT will remember well always.

In his freshman year, Mihalek did not dress for a game, but he practiced hard and managed to play about half of the games his sophomore year.  What was even more impressive is the impact he made his first game.  The first time he was on the ice for the Big Red, Mihalek picked up an assist against out-of-conference opponent RIT.  He then tallied his first collegiate goal against RPI in the 5-1 win over the Engineers.  He continued to be a dominant force in the lineup, playing in the final three games of the season against Quinnipiac, Dartmouth, and Yale.

Junior year was Mihalek's breakout year.  He played in 32 games last season getting a career-high 5 points and a +3 rating.  Both of his goals scored were in wins against Quinnipiac and Brown.  In his play through the season, we have seen a defensively-minded forward who regularly helps kill penalties and provides a strong presence on the ice.  Mihalek was on the team the last time Cornell won the ECAC Tournament Championship and he will be an instrumental part of the team's goal for their next Whitelaw.  We at WAFT look forward to seeing what Mihalek brings to the team this season.  11 days!
