Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

I think Robert Morris needs at least 3 points against Niagara plus needs to beat RIT to have a chance to get a bye....

Has anyone mentioned that this playoff system sucks!!

Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

Anyone with info on Brenner?? He is the guy RIT can not lose this year...

I've been wondering about him. Haven't heard a thing, and not a chirp on RIT Athletics nor Lerch's USCHO blog. Hopefully that means it's a non-issue, and not pending the result of extensive tests.

Tigers pick up another recruit out of the OJHL. A goalie to replace Ropponen.

Jordan Ruby 2-22-1991, 6'-1" 180lbs - Tavistock, Ont.

2010/2011 Wellington 31gm 1843:32min 23W 4L 2OTL 2SOL 3SO 67GA 2.18GAA 896SH 0.930SV%
2009/2010 Wellington 34gm 2005:52min 21W 6L 1OTL 5SOL 0SO 73GA 2.18GAA 1003SH 0.932SV%

Rubys stats put him at 3rd in the goalie rankings (GAA) 2nd place is currently held by Jimmy Sarjeant of Newmarket who is heading to Mercyhurst next year.

Wellington is in first place in the OJHL East Division with 72pts, and are currently nationally ranked at 11th in the CJHL top20. For comparison, Powell River (BCHL) with 2 RIT recruits (Garbowsky & Schuler) is ranked 5th.

Given the almost identical lines over the past 2 seasons, this is a pretty consistent guy. Assuming Madolora and Watson stick around next year, the Tigers should have one heck of a crew in goal.

Some more info and a link:

Ruby was named OJHL Player of the month for December 2010, and was Team Canada East goalie for the World Jr A Championships the last 2 seasons. In the 2010 championships he was in in goal for all 5 of Canada Easts games on their way to the silver. Also listed on NHL Central Scoutings list of prospects at number 26 among North American goalies. Here is a link to his bio.

Nice Story in the BCHL magazine on Scott Knowles. Check out Page 10 of "Smart Hockey"

He's a little tall to replace Ropponen. Seriously though, looks good.

Not only are his stats pretty good, he shows consistency year over year (granted, two years isn't much of a sample). That's something that the Tigers seem to struggle with at times.

What's the problem? We got lucky last year by being in a bracket with Cornell and New Hampshire -- and with the other three top seeds having regional sites close to home, making it easier to move Denver to Albany. If we make the tournament again, it's highly likely we'll have to go somewhere far away.

Basing purely on statistics, that team looks to be tearing up the OJHL. His stats are fantastic, his backups W/L#'s are fantastic also, but thier Gaa/S% are way below Ruby's which has to stand for something. The Team is middle of the Pack offensively, so they have to be fairly strong defensively and in goal. Looks like Ruby is a constant there, and hopefully in Rochester....

I'm being selfish, I live in the east and the regionals here are a quick 1 to 4 hour drive. I'll be in Singapore in March anyway so I'll be missing out on going to a game, regardless of where they play.

I would rather play Yale than any other #1 team based on their style. But with 3 WCHA teams in the #1 band and a WCHA team in the #4 band, they pretty much need to have that team play Yale. Putting RIT in the East or Northeast regionals would not hurt attendence-wise as there is a good contingent of fans who would make the trip/live in the area.
