2020-21 Penn State Nittany Lions

[ZedLeppelin]

So I'm hearing some players on RMU may have Covid. That might mess things up for this weekend...

Two days before the first series of the season, and not a word from Penn State about it. No word on a schedule, no word on how to watch the games, etc. In fact, since the Hockey Commissioner's Association announced a delay to the start of the season over two months ago, Penn State hasn't said anything about 2020-21. How about an interview with Kampersal and ask how the schedule is going? How about telling fans how to watch games this season, if they won't be allowed inside Pegula Ice Arena? Or will they be allowed into the arena? Anything would be nice.

RIT is now considering reversing its plan to cancel the season: https://ritathletics.com/news/2020/1...ey-update.aspx

The article says that they are playing, assuming approval by the State of the return to play plan. That is great news for them. Maybe it will spur Union and RPI.

I don't see a National Tourney happening this season. If these teams can get any games in I'd consider it a plus to a an otherwise dismal year!

I can't see a national tournament happening, either. If they can't allow out-of-conference games, they would have a hard time justifying a tournament with teams from all over the place (Penn State representing the CHA, of course). I imagine the season will end after conference champions are decided.

Petition for RIT men's appeal. They could use the support and a change would affect the women and probably other programs too.

If there is an NCAA tournament, with only 16 games played, would the rest of the CHA meet the requirements to be eligible? (honestly I'm not sure, but I thought there was a number of games requirement).

If there's a bright spot for the rest of the CHA, teams will now get a bye week in place of the RIT games, which they weren't getting before in the very condensed schedule.

Might this announcement turn out to be a case of bad timing, having been decided just before the announced introduction of the vaccine?

Probably not - realistically we are still months away from a legitimate vaccine distribution - it certainly will not be readily available in the next few months...

Ugh, so sad for RIT.

RIT cancelled the men's and women's hockey seasons.

RIT cancelled the men's and women's hockey seasons.

That's hard to hear, especially with the conference going ahead with the season. I really feel badly for Celeste Brown, who left Penn State to take over the RIT women's program. Here's a link to the announcement cancelling the season:
