That's all but two players. I won't name them, but one was a grad student last year which might make him ineligible.

If he was illegible then he definitely wasn't going to be on the all-academic team. Then again, it might be a big advantage as goalies wouldn't be able to get a read on his offensive moves.

I would expect a former Eli to be a good student, so he probably wasn't eligible.

American Academy of Pediatrics recommending mask use for ALL school students and staff for Fall 2021, regardless of vax status. Given SAJ's history of locking the campus down can only lead me to believe that an RPI hockey season is far from a sure thing .....

Wicked - Something I have been saying for some time. It is difficult to get people to evber give up power they have or have taken for themselves. i remain hopeful but not any more today than I was months ago.

It's no fun picking on your typos Ralph when you give such a deadpan response. BTW, I think you meant you'd expect a former Big Green to be a good student. In fact, he is. The league press release lists him as being on the all-academic team.

Hearing it could be deja vu on the RPI campus as it was last year in regards to Covid testing/precautions for Fall semester…….

Hope I heard wrong, but nothing would surprise me at this point.

It's not the same. Testing is only once a week compared to twice a week. They are requiring vaccinations for all students and faculty. Masks indoors, but no masks outdoors. Athletes are moving in early August. It's not totally open still, but there is less restrictions than last year
