        Add to that home games against Bentley, RIT (as mentioned), and Niagara. A pair at CC is confirmed as well.

        I don't believe UAH will be at the holiday tourney. This fall's tourney does look extremely weak. All 3 opponents won 10 or less games this season. The best of the worst is a Giant Killer; the worst of the worst ended the season with over 25 losses, but still managed more wins than the remaining team.
        The following 10 teams had 10 or fewer wins: Connecticut, AIC, BGSU, WMU, Harvard, Clarkson, and MTU, Robert Morris, Dartmouth, and Providence. The other two teams supposedly coming to the tourney are BGSU, and Connecticut. Assuming that is still correct, that leaves AIC, WMU, Harvard, Clarkson, MTU, RMU, DC, and PC for the other.

        UConn is probably "the worst of the worst" with a 7-27-3 record which is better than BGSU's 5-25-6.

        Since you wrote "won 10 or less games," I suspect that one team won exactly 10 which means RMU, DC, or PC. I doubt that it is DC. Both of the others have some victories that could describe them as giant killers. I'll go with RMU.

          Also mentioned was a game against Niagara. I wonder which game that one will replace on the schedule, since Niagara wasnt one of the rumored opponents for next year up until now.

            CC * 2
            our tourney 2
            UAH * 2
            BU
            NU
            Bentley
            Niagara
            RIT
            Union @ LP

            That's 12. What's the problem? LP is not a tourney, just a single game for each of the 4 teams.

                It now seems to me that the USMA game is going to happen every other year now, which means we'll probably travel to West Point next year.

                  That would make sense. 2005-06 Army; 2007-08 @ Army; 2009-10 Army and 2011-12 @ Army

                    Maybe we will win our holiday tourney next year.

                    It was a pleasure to watch RIT friday and saturday. A hot goalie with all 4 lines contributing. There breakout was very well designed as well. No going backwards behind the net all the time. I saw the program and all players on the team are 20 years old and older.

                    Also a great student section they had. Funny cheers, loud, in sync.

                      Yeah, the schedule I've seen does not list UAH at the tourney. Things could potentially change, though.

                        The Rensselaer men’s hockey banquet is scheduled for Friday, April 23, at the Heffner Alumni House. All fans and friends of the program are invited to attend. The evening begins with a cocktail reception from 5:30-6:15pm with dinner and the awards ceremony to follow. It will be a very special evening as the five members of the Class of 2010 and defenseman Mark Zarbo will also be recognized.
                        Not that it affects much, but I assume Zarbo is going to go ahead and graduate on time and move on.
                        Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                          I know this is probably for the other thread, but since you posted it here...

                          Could this possibly have a good influence on whether or not the B.R.O. is coming? We're down to 3 defensemen should Brutlag stay at forward.

                            In a word - Yes. If I was a betting man, I'd bet it all.

                              It sure sounds like he is leaving. We certainly are going to have an experienced D next season with only three returnees have playing played for RPI and four in total with D-I experience. That is assuming that Brutlag is staying at forward as FlagDUDE wrote. I am also not counting Beauregard as experienced if he is going to play D as was mentioned before.

                              FlagDUDE, nothing wrong with discussing recruits here, just the other way around bothers me.
