Senior Season — 2012-13
Mihalek continued to be a gritty presence on the Big Red's third and fourth lines. As injuries started to mount among the team's center corps, Mihalek filled in at pivot for the first time since his youth hockey days. He scored his lone goal of the season by crashing the net Dec. 1 against St. Lawrence. He also added a pair of assists Nov. 2 at Colgate and Feb. 22 vs. Rensselaer.

Junior Season — 2011-12
Mihalek emerged as a steady presence in the Big Red’s lineup as a defensively responsible forward and regular penalty killer. His first goal of the season came on a shorthanded empty-netter on Nov. 19 against Quinnipiac, then he scored again from on top of the crease in Cornell’s 5-2 win over Brown on Feb. 10.

Sophomore Season — 2010-11
Mihalek is proof that hard work in practice pays off, as he broke into the Cornell lineup as a sophomore and appeared in 14 games. He picked up an assist in his collegiate debut in the second game of the year against RIT, then later scored a goal in the victory at Rensselaer. Mihalek found himself in the lineup for each of the final three games of the season, putting a shot on goal against Quinnipiac, Dartmouth and Yale.

Freshman Season — 2009-10
Mihalek did not dress for any of the 34 games on the season for the Big Red.

Before Cornell
Mihalek played last season with the Westside Warriors of the British Columbia Hockey League, compiling 10 goals and 20 assists for 30 points in 58 games and was named the team’s most improved player. Prior to moving to the BCHL, he spent a season with the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders of the USHL, scoring four goals and four assists in 31 games.

Personal
Vincent John Mihalek is the son of Gary and Deanne Mihalek, and he has a younger sister. He is enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
