There is still some uncertainty about next season's teams. I know most, but not all of the first preseason games for our recruits. I won't post it yet.

The years the recruits are listed as arriving at RPI are not necessarily accurate.
The dates on which some of the women are listed as committing on may be considerably after the actual dates.
I am assuming that Neutral Zone regards their Star ratings as public because they often tweet them with committals.

STRENGTHS according to Neutral Zone (NZ doesn't include them for women):
Aw=Awareness/IQ, Ch=Character/Leadership, GS=Goal Scoring Ability, Sk=Skating, Sp=Speed, SH=Stick Handling Skill,
St-Strength, To=Toughness, Vi=Vision/Passing

The Brooks Bandits will be playing in Sweden. https://www.brooksbandits.ca/brooks-...enge-in-sweden

Can anyone identify if Dylan Lariviere is in any of these Instagrams? From the description above, he may not be there. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv0JBSsPoq6/ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cvz3NO-LHGp/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CvuuFjjgJuK/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CvtRcdjL_kW/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CvpvTAKvCqf/

Edit: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv1S-NAtzMa/ Note this one was taken in Frankfurt. Conceivably it is the only one containing Lariviere if he is there because he may not have left from Calgary as he is from Ontario.

He's probably the guy in red. It's not a perfect match in shade, but he's getting ready for his future in the U.S.

I am colorblind, but I think there is more than one in red now that they have arrived. :-D https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv2f9QvNd0U/

He is in the last picture. 3rd from the left in the back

Brooks has a pre-tournament game at 10 AM EDT today. Audio is free. I will miss it but will write something later. https://www.brooksbandits.ca/schedul...trip-to-sweden

Lariviere dressed as the extra forward. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv4muDgtEIX/

Brooks won 5-2. No points for DL.

Hi Sezenack, Here are a few questions I would love to have asked to coach. What is the story with kids that annouce committment to RPI and then decommitt? Anything happening at RPI with NIL? Any plans for a field house renovation? Is RPI going to hire the extra assistant that NCAA green lighted recently? Thank you.

You can ask these at the session yourself! https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...Qv2YcVytOYSCiA
If you can't make it, I'll jot these down, but I don't know what we will get to. Brendan and I are going to prioritize fan questions in the chat over our own.

All good questions, but I doubt Smith will be able to share much as a) coaches aren't fond of speaking publicly about recruiting specifics, commitments ,etc. and b) many of the other questions involve the input of an athletic director....which we don't currently have.

Lariviere has moved up to the 4th line probably due to a certain player not dressing. ;-) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv-OCUSNIGP/

[Ralph Baer]

Lariviere had an assist in a 4-0 Brooks win over Valerenga. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cv-ikhhu-iD/

His line is 1-0-1-1-x. (Sunday's game did not count.)

So DL's line is 1-0-1-1-0.

If I didn't know better, I'd think you had inside information JS !! Nicely done -- I think he touched on all of these !
