Indiana Ice News Release
INDIANAPOLIS- The Indiana Ice announced today that Hayden Stewart has committed to playing collegiate hockey at Cornell University. The Cornell Big Red are an NCAA Division I member of the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC).
The Rockford, IL joins forward Dwyer Tschantz in the Cornell prospect pool, while current Icemen already playing for the Ithaca, NY institution include Brian Ferlin (09-11) and Christian Hilbrich (10-12).
Stewart has been on a goaltending tear since joining the Indy roster in mid-January. In six contests with the Ice, he has recorded a perfect 6-0-0 record and a 0.67 GAA with a .971 save percentage in six contests. Earlier this month, he registered back-to-back shutouts against the Youngstown Phantoms and set a new franchise record for most consecutive scoreless minutes (203:54), previously held by Jon Gillies-Providence (HE).
Cornell University is well known in hockey circles for turning out some of the best players in the NHL. Notable alumni include Hall of Fame members Ken Dryden and Joe Nieuwendyk.
