Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Why does AIC always do all their signings late (right before the season starts)? When do they take to the ice and will they finally get out of the basement? Strange team. Some talent that can surprise a good opponent and then bad losses.

Could be a couple reasons:
1. Recruiting budget - don't know how much they have, maybe they don't have much and have to be creative.
2. Recruits waiting on a better offer. They are a bottom feeder in the worst league in the NCAA. The recruits may be hoping to get offers from better teams.

When you are a bottom feeder, it's hard to get out. Unless AIC gets a great goalie that can steal a bunch of wins, they will probably remain a bottom team.

I don't get it. Budget constraints or not, there are a lot of kids willing to go anywhere to play D-1. Most of the places they get players from require more travel than hitting the EJHL in their own backyard and even Prep. Just seems like their late recruiting is part of some strategy and it hasn't worked. There is some talent there and who knows with some luck they win the games they should and make a move. Good luck to AIC.

Hi all -
Just a friendly request - Can whoever is coming up to Tech to watch the games stop by your locker room and grab a hand full of jerseys? Bring them with to the UP and several of us will be standing by with cash in hand ready to buy.

PS Seriously - Where the heck do all those old jerseys go?? Raffle? Give-aways? Players get them? Burned?

Not sure if AIC offers scholarships or not, but if your choices are one of the consistantly worst teams in DI or playing for a top D III team, it's an interesting decision. On the one hand D I is D I, but if you go to a team like Norwich in D III that are consistantly a top team there that you have a chance to win a championship, it's a tough choice.

You might want to be more specific since AIC is playing series at two colleges whose fans call themselves Tech -- MTU and CCT.

They've had that before, and it didn't help much.

Isn't the current starter supposed to be that kind of goalie? And they are one of the few college teams I've seen planning to go with 2 goalies (junior and sophomore). What if one gets hurt?

Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. They need to learn how to finish and win. At times looked great but easily got on their heals. Stronger around the net! Winning goal doesn't happen if the D let's Meisner worry about the puck and puts the Tech forwards on their butts! Win tonight.

There was some really good points to the weekend. Some disappointing. Some of the freshmen look promising.

Saturday's game at Holy Cross is going to tell a lot about the season. Holy Cross got a point in one of the preseason polls. AIC will have a week of practice under their belts. They have two games to learn from. They could have won both games in better circumstances. Now comes the time to create their own better circumstances.

I would say that AIC's record at this point is actually 1-0-1. A 3-4 loss against Michigan Tech is practically a win for this team and should be marked as so. The 1-3 loss was not that great but Michigan Tech just got lucky with their goalie so it's basically a tie.

AIC is just prepping for a strong push through Atlantic Hockey.

With logic like that AIC should go undefeated.

An 11th place finish for AIC is a strong push.

They were 16-11-4 last year by that logic.
