Mentioning Mr. Ferner, what's the fan's review of him?
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

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.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

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.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 04-15-2021, 04:00 AM.

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.

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, ...

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???
