Cornell University Athletics

Senior Season — 2013-14
Craig appeared in a career-high 27 games and, although he didn't officially score any goals, he provided one of the team's most memorable moments of the season by scoring the championship-winning shootout goal against Maine at the Florida College Classic. The goal came in the ninth round of the shootout, after the teams scored just once apiece in the first eight rounds. Craig also added an assist in the first game of the tournament a day earlier against New Hampshire. He continued to be a regular penalty-killer and cut down drastically on his penalties from previous seasons. At the team's postseason banquet, Craig was presented the Cornell Hockey Association Award, which is given annually to the player whose contributions to the team don't show up in the box score, but rather are in the form of energy, heart and hustle.

Junior Season — 2012-13
Craig showcased his high-energy, hard-hitting style in 23 of the team's 34 games. While he didn't factor in any of the Big Red's scoring, he fired a career-high four shots on goal during the team's game on Feb. 1 at St. Lawrence. He also became a regular contributor on the team's penalty kill.

Sophomore Season — 2011-12
Despite playing in about half of the Big Red's games, Craig delivered the most memorable moment of the season when he scored an overtime goal to beat Michigan in the semifinals of the NCAA Midwest Regional on March 23. His other goal on the season also came in dramatic fashion, serving as the third-period winner on Feb. 25 against first-place Union at Lynah Rink.

Freshman Season — 2010-11
Craig had a strong freshman season, despite missing 10 games during the season due to a number of different injuries. He finished the year with four points on two goals and two assists, scoring a point in four of the 24 games he appeared in. Craig scored his first career goal in his second game, scoring against RIT on Oct. 30, then tallied another goal in the 5-1 victory against Rensselaer on Jan. 14. He added assists in back-to-back games on Nov. 6 at Clarkson and Nov. 12 against Quinnipiac.
