RPI 2026 Off-Season: Please Pardon Our Appearance As We Upgrade This Area

I’m really excited about our blue line this season. I think I know what we have in burzynski and Michael but I’m really intrigued by Guo. Looking at his player card he had some nice transition numbers, which we really need, and basically won every battle he was in. 6’1 190+ lbs. Not small either. And he was on a terrible team in Saginaw. Might have a real player there.

check out his tape and stats from the 24-25 season. that's when he was riding with Zayne Parekh on a team with Michael Misa, Igor Chernyshov, and Kristian Epperson as the top line (3/4 are NHLers, the last one just won a championship with DU). they were less shit, still run and gun and scary as hell but fun to watch. they didn't buy but they didn't sell either, while this year was pretty stripped down. I think you'll get a better glimpse of what he's like when he isnt surrounded by only high-octane children. the memorial cup team in 2024 was even better, but he was younger and didn't have a big role then

i think he'll end up in a middle ground when he gets to college, where in saginaw he spent years being solid behind some uber talented players before one year of being The Guy who also had a lot of defensive burden to shoulder. hes an interesting question mark for sure, im a fan

Shirley is gone. Hockey is clearly on the move. Time for the return of WithoutAPeer.

Not happening. We both have families, stable jobs and other interests. Not that we’re no longer interested inRPI Hockey, after all we both graduated from there, but it’s no longer our main focus. Sorry.
 
Homecoming is scheduled for the second weekend in October this year. A lot of schools try to schedule Homecoming for a weekend when the football team will be hosting a team they can be expected to beat, so the returning alumni can leave with good feelings after seeing a win. But since RPI's football schedule shows them playing at Buffalo State that weekend, obviously that strategy isn't going to work this year.

It seems to me that it is once again questionable, after all the transfers in and out, how cohesive a unit RPI will be able to put on the ice during the early weeks of the season, which makes it difficult to identify any easy marks. But I suppose our athletic director is frantically trying to search for a hockey opponent who (a) is willing to come to Troy that weekend and (b) might be beatable.
