I believe that you are right. We are just getting started. We will be expecting a lot from our freshmen, but they come in with a lot of potential. I like our chances.
I think that the big surprise next year will be Bryce Merriam. He can be very good, and he now has the chance to make the goalie position his own.
We'll be in good hands.

I was optimistic about this current year and had predicted 20-21 wins. I feel even better about next year. This is all starting to come together. Not making any prediction yet until I see that everyone who is supposed to be here actually is and is healthy. I am only a ta concerned about the goalie situation-would like to see 2 scholarship goalies in uniform-but i agree-from what we have seen Merriam is extremely capable and we are in good hands.

Not to mention, will they honor Allen York, given that he is leaving?

Actually, he already left.

Indeed. He's not even coming up in the online student directory anymore.

Any ideas as to who the captains will be?

I would bet that SA will bring in another goalie, either Kasdorf or someone else. He has York's scholarship available.

I hadn't thought about Bailen, but he certainly would be a candidate.

Didn't Appert himself say that we WILL (not "might", etc.) have another scholarship goalie next season?

Today is 8 April 2011. There are 176 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 1 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

That's why I would bet on it.

After thinking about it for a while, how about a longshot candidate, at least for an A, of Alex Angers-Goulet? If he gets a Most Improved award, it'll be a definite. After being called out after the SLU game his sophomore year, he's really answered the wake-up call.

Just wanted to mention that the two teams helped most by bad officiating in the openning round of the playoffs are now playing in the finals.
I give them both credit for making the most of their chances, but they both should give a big thanks to the on ice officials for their success.

I don't think that he is really a long shot, especially since his brother was a Captain.

It's tough to pick one of those teams to root for, but I think that I will go with tUMD over the Ugly Helmets and Most Irritating Fight Song.
