To jump off this point a little further, this hiring is very concerning. You can't help but wonder if all this was done to keep Sachi around. If Bryan ended up anywhere else, his wife was probably going to follow.

This concern has nothing to do if Bryan is qualified/will do a good job. That's unrelated.

It has everything to do with the leadership of RPI athletics. The men's coaching search was not ideal. This was just terrible. I have a lot of questions about how things are being run up at ECAV these days.

That is a pretty talented group.
You would think that having players like that we could maybe come up with a .500 record this year.
Lets see what the new coach can do with these guys.
Throw in Tironese, Polino and Hayhurst, and maybe we can even eek out a few games over.

Brings up a good point; what sort of expectations should we have? I know I've mentioned that this team has nothing to lose and everything to prove, so they should just go for it and whatever happens happens. I'd be satisfied with a 500 start before league play begins, and although some of the games are tricky, I could see us pulling a 500 this season. Not expecting miracle work, mind you, but just some team cohesion and the individuals using their talents to create a stronger team effort.

RPI's press release says Jared is going to Anaheim's camp. Is that a mistake on their part?

You’re right Charlene. I miss read it for Willy. He’ll be in Anaheim’s camp not Calgary. I saw his birthplace next to his name & that threw me off..... https://www.nhl.com/ducks/news/anahe...-2/c-290207648

I caught it because I made the same mistake in a post to the RPI sports listserv and only realized it while proofreading to try to catch some of my usual many errors.

If only the vote succeeded 10 years ago... of course she probably STILL would have disbanded the Faculty Senate and become even MORE of a ruthless dictatress...

Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season (Part II): Mr. Smith Goes to Troy

Fred Tironese, I assume Evan's father, posted on the RPI-Sports mailing list that he heard that the new women's coach is Bryan Vines. He asked for confirmation.

This makes some sense since BV's wife is still employed by RPI. (Not that sense is necessary when it comes to RPI decisions.)
