RPI 2021-22: Picking Up Where We Left Off

[Ralph Baer]

Just wondering if any of this could have been helped by the grade inflation seen at colleges over the past many years?

That certainly is part of it, but not everything.

Certainly a contrast from hockey players' grades in the 1960's.

In other news, the team's first semester academic performance has been great: https://***********/RPI_Hockey/statu...285047303?s=20.

Some important covid info somewhere in there about this weekend. Can't remember timestamp

19:45 is the time stamp. Sounds like the timing of this weekend's games is still up in the air pending follow-up COVID tests.

Edit: thanks for doing these. Insights into the team that are not available elsewhere.

Since Yale and Brown are travel partners, it will allow Yale to play two games in Troy to make up for their lost game against us this weekend. However they are scheduled to play Union then one night so they would have to spend 3 days in the CD.

RPI women have a Tuesday road trip to Yale in two weeks to make up the game:https://rpiathletics.com/news/2022/1...announced.aspx

The only changes made on the RPI web site were for womens hockey, basketball and swimming/diving.
Men's hockey is still on as of today.

The midyear NHL draft ranking has been released. http://www.nhl.com/ice/draftprospect...year=2022&pg=1

No RPI players or recruits are mentioned.

I hope so - I am getting bored.

Me too. A group of us are continuing the NC trip tradition regardless. Hopefully we'll actually get to see RPI in person. I'm getting tired of watching Union ...ha ha

[DrDemento]

Anyone know if the team is off pause and plans to play this weekend ?

The Beanpot is without a doubt playing a role in that rescheduling. Harvard is always a huge pain in the *** with the Beanpot because they only want to play 1 game in the weekends before a Beanpot game (doesn't seem to make a difference considering that they're always in the consolation game!)

I always wonder if there are special Ivy League rules involved in creating this situation, e.g., the number of games that a team can play in any 7 day span in the regular season. I remember Ralph posting a future ECAC schedule a year or two ago and Union was going to draw the short straw for the Beanpot reschedule in a future season . . . but maybe that was scheduled to happen in 20-21. :-/

And more often than not, we seem to be a team involved in the scheduling difficulties.

I see that Dartmouth has rescheduled their games against us and Union. Any word on the rescheduled date with Harvard? Could the Beanpot again play a part in rescheduling with Harvard?
