it got harder and harder to find teams who wanted to play during the Christmas season and there were more tournaments that were being played at that time.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

Back to Alaska. I was a little surprised at the final score of Saturday's game. But more surprised at the fact that Marshall was in goal. This is a perfect trip to find out what our back up goalies can give us in a game situation. Not just for this year, but for next year too.
I hope that we were just experimenting with our power play. Giving up two short handed goals (I know that one of the goals was at the very end of the power play) in one game should not happen.
I don't mind losing these games as long as we learn from them. The only way we make the playoffs this year is through the ECAC.
Lets get ready for that.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I decided to post this here because there are people who don't read the RPI recruit thread who might be interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaGJ316WIkM
It is the game that The Hill School played on Sunday vs. The Winchendon School. Ryan Sanborn, supposedly arriving in Troy in 2024, is The Hill School's goalie. He is #1 in white. He saved 41 of 42 shots in the 54-minute game according to the box score. That would translate to facing about 47 shots in a 60-minute game. IMHO, he kept The Hill School in the game in the first period.
I assume that the game was not simulcast on radio because the announcer provided very minimal information. There were a lot of great save by Ryan Sanborns. Sadly, the camera work by a single camera on the red line would never be mistaken for RPI-TV. So it is often hard to see Sanborn when a lot of skaters are near him. Some of the great saves did not seem all that great to me.
I don't know if the game will remain on-line for a long time. FWIW, the game was delayed 3 hours and played at Cushing Academy because of problems with Winchendon's ice.
The game itself starts at about the 12-minute mark of the video.Last edited by Ralph Baer; 12-13-2021, 12:12 PM.

Ralph: Everything you posted is spot on. The camera angle for the game was just far too low (and fixed in position) to see much of the goal tending. he seemed to stop just about everything he saw but the quality of the shots very difficult to evaluate. As you said, the announcer just felt they were all 'great saves'. My opinion about evaluating young goal tenders is that it might be the hardest position to determine how well they play. After all, they are certainly not facing the speed of the game or the shots that they will see in a few years as they progress up the ladder. In any case, he did seem to be able to handle what was asked of him very well.Take the shortest distance to the puck and arrive in ill humor

The Hill School plays Albany Academy later in the season, but sadly for Tri-City residents who might be interested, it's a home game for The Hill School. As far as you are concerned, they play at Princeton Day School which I suspect is in Princeton and also at The Hun School which I know is also somewhere in NJ. The Hill School itself is in Pottstown, PA.
Edit: The Hill School's own schedule which may be more reliable. https://www.thehill.org/athletics/te...oys/ice-hockeyLast edited by Ralph Baer; 12-13-2021, 02:10 PM.

Assuming that the "2024" is correct, he has two years after this one to move up the ladder. The fact that a couple of weeks ago, Dubuque (USHL) saw fit to have him as their backup goalie shows that he is well thought of and should move up somewhere. I wonder how he looked in practice there and if he is in their plans for next season.
