    I only got it because I googled it. :-D

      He's going from one alma mater of mine to the other and I don't know what to expect.


      Here's how he spent the 2020-21 season: https://siouxcityjournal.com/sports/...792bc1e47.html
      His primary asset appears to be his leadership ability. That is probably why the post which you quoted stated that his on ice talent can be replaced by Baxter. He is a good, although not big, defenseman with some offensive ability. I am sure others can add to this.

        Excellent skater, always seems to be positioned well and doesn't seem to get beat 1:1; responsible in his own end and will give very good first pass to get out of the zone. Played heavy minutes, especially last season against other teams top line. PK guy, (PP a little bit as well), led team in blocked shots I believe his first two years. He is a player that does all the little things well, that most won't notice. I really enjoyed him as a player. And as mentioned, he was supposedly a great teammate/locker room guy and was rumored to be the captain his last two years here had he stayed. In my opinion, UND getting a very solid player that will grow on you the more you see him play.

          Ok - then I take it all back! Still propose the title as most fitting but if you googled the answer it should not count. I don't think they would accept your answers at Bronx High School of Science if you googled them and did not show your work. I almost never show my work simply because i usually cannot remember how I got to the answer in the first place!

            Do not forget to add that he is smart. He has to be since he is coming from RPI! If he has to learn a new system it should be like a piece of cake for him. Cannot be harder than passing Physics and Calculus in Troy.

              Sezenack or someone else can correct me, but I don't think that Management majors take physics anymore, and they may take a watered down version of calculus.

                  The word I'd use for Ferner is "responsible." He rarely gets caught out of position or makes a bad decision. I viewed him as more of a defense first guy because he doesn't have a big shot or make flashy plays. He does, however, move the puck well, particularly in the transition from defense to offense. He's the kind of player coaches and teammates (and fans) can count on, which is probably why he was also viewed as a leader and a popular guy to have on the roster. I'll admit to generally having a tinge of bitterness toward decommits and transfers, but for a guy like Ferner in the current circumstances, I can only wish him well.

                  Having said that, I'm on to making our in-bound transfers Baxter and Walsh among my favorite players. We've added an experienced defensive-minded senior defenseman and a junior forward (with potentially 3 years of eligibility) that hasn't produced big numbers yet but was viewed as having tremendous potential as a relatively young (19) entrant from the USHL a couple of years ago.

                    Sounds like my kind of defenseman --> the one you know has had a good game because you didn't notice him.

                      Back in the old days, very little was 'watered down' at RPI and if it was, it might still have been more difficult than most course at other so called institutions of higher learning! As far as physics, just using it as an example. When I applied to RPI my guidance counselor had warned me that even Gym was hard at RPI. I would bet with you that the coursed the RPI hockey players attend now are still a tad more difficult than those the football players have to take at Ohio State or Michigan or Florida State and Alabama. I wonder how the course of study the boys take in Troy compares with those at other highly prestigious schools like Cornell???

                          That seems to me like an important skill. I guess that is comparable to Physical Chemistry or BioPhysics.
