Career

Pattison was recruited by Ned Harkness out of Upper Canada College, becoming one of the few teenagers brought in during the halcyon years for the Big Red. Pattison was a depth defender for the varsity team as a sophomore when Cornell won its first national championship. He became one of the team's standout players as a junior, earning All-conference and All-American honors in each of his final two seasons. During those years Cornell lost only two games each season and finished with some of the lowest goals against totals in the history of college hockey. Unfortunately for Pattison, Cornell faltered in the NCAA tournament in 1968 and 1969, leaving him with just one championship despite being on one of the game's greatest dynasties.

Pattison retired as a player after graduating and was inducted into the Cornell Athletic Hall of Fame in 1983. He also lettered in football and golf. [2]
