    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    That's insane. The "rules" are so vague now that teams are throwing darts at the wall to see what sticks.

    RPI 2025-2026

    She’s an interesting player. Good size and stats and she’s an ‘08. Women players tend to enroll much earlier than men, but that’s very young. I wonder if this is a case where we had a slot and got a player by bringing her in earlier than other schools expected. It worked on the men’s side...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    You do have to wonder because the Mercyhurst situation looks like a complete train wreck. Their very long term head coach, Gotkin, is retiring after this season. The announced successor is his three season (all bad) assistant. Prior to that the guy was a DIII assistant. Not promising.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Yes, but if you go to the team page and look in the right hand "Quick Links" it still says that Dave Smith is the head coach (with the expected 404 error if you click on it). It's right next to the months old press release announcing Eric Lang's hiring. Add to that the fact that I only found...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Jovanovic was 16 when he last played in a league game. He turns 21 next month. Coach is right that it will be a great story if he makes it all the way back, but he has to be a long shot. Given all that, no matter who he was playing for, I'd root for him. Good luck Matthew. Edit: BTW, I...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    We've still got a long way to go with web and social media. Apparently a press release went out (see below) on the newcomers yet it's not on the team page, which STILL says "Head Coach Dave Smith." C'mon guys, that's not a hard problem to fix...

    Sobieski is also in there along with guys that are already established in the NHL such as Beniers and Fantilli. Time flies......

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Yup. Looks like 20 new players. I presume that the 22 new Engineers Lang cited includes the two new coaches. I like the way this man thinks.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Listening to The Field House interview with Coach Lang. I believe he mentioned there are 22 new players. Even Ralph hasn’t identified that many. RB, you have some work to do. I’ve got to take a break for a business call, but I’m looking forward to the rest. Great job guys...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Perhaps, but it didn't work for Mike Addesa (note: I'm well aware of the scandal, but there were people high up in the administration that were gunning for him before that). Yale has tended to keep coaches well beyond their sell by date. Tim Taylor was treated as a god there for decades even...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    I'm surprised that Allain lasted as long as he did. While they've been terrible since the pandemic restart, the program had lost all momentum before that. The last 3 or 4 years pre-pandemic were, at best, mediocre. The atmosphere in the Whale during my occasional visits in that period - I go...

    RPI Recruit Thread 2025-2026

    I take it as an indicator that, while Coach Eric is still busy finishing this year’s roster, he’s also reaching out and talking to alums. Picking up a promising center is just the first benefit. We have a history and a lot of contact points throughout the hockey community. I hope we see the...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    I was referring to recruiting throughout college hockey, but ours was made even more extreme by the change in coaches. July/August roster changes used to be rare, but this season they are common. I think college hockey will reach a new steady state once the impact of the new CHL and roster...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    What a weird recruiting year. CHL eligibility and the House NIL/roster rules changes have created more spring/summer recruiting for the upcoming season than we would ordinarily see in five or more years combined.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    An actual hockey on ice topic. I suspect he’s done but if another goal scorer fell from the sky he’d be welcome. I was surprised that Elias was even rumored to be coming because we already had 9 defensemen, including three right shots to complement Goffredo (Russell, Sobieski and Hilditch)...

    Actually when I referred to AD I meant Athletic Department, not Athletic Director. But I would agree with you that we need someone with strong fund raising skills in order to even maintain our program and facilities.

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    The last time I was there was for a Northeastern game a season or two prior to the pandemic. Perhaps my view was based on only having a mild rooting interest (my Dad and one of my kids are Husky alums), but I wasn’t impressed that they didn’t fill their small rink for a local opponent that I...

    RPI 2025 Off-Season: Help Is On the Way

    Since RPI didn't opt in (not even sure D3 schools had that option), all NIL would have to come from non-school sources. In other words, "if RPI had given him..." was not even an option. Do we even have an external NIL collective? My guess is no and I doubt Matt Murley wants to spend his life...
