You know who is coaching that team? If your goalie commit is legit she probably won't be coming to RPI.

I believe it is tough for goalies due to lack of opportunities to play and especially with the transfer portal! So many great goalies are coming in and if you don’t get games in your first year, you almost end up back in the portal and at a D3/Usports. Many goalies want to go where they can get games right away, and not take the chance to sit for 2 years just to end up in the portal with nowhere to go.
Hicks played for Ontario blue last year and she played pretty good! Of course lots of politics with hockey Canada and I believe her dad is involved with the scouting of TC. No doubt she just received the offer a few months ago and not last year so that shows how competitive goalie positions are!
