    Individual game tickets are now available on our site.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Good analysis and prognosis. I have high hopes for Sitar and Sobieski. Sitar went to HE directly from Swedish juniors. His fellow leading scorer in 23-24, Daniel Jencko, left Malmo mid-year to play for Youngstown in the USHL and then had an excellent freshman season for UMass (6g, 11a)...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Talent-wise I agree. But Wallace and Tapper may be as valuable since our departed pair couldn’t keep their asses out of the penalty box. Good point. I think at some point I even knew that but for some reason I had it in my head that he was an ‘05.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I really don't get the logic. They aren't going to prevent players from going to colleges if they so desire. What they should be doing is selling themselves as the best path to a hockey future - either college or pro. In addition to their traditional pool of future pros they can now get the...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    IIRC ESPN+ had all games from HFH last year, not just the league games. I just checked and the game at UVM will also be on ESPN+. I don't think the exhibition or Mayor's Cup will be broadcast and some of the non-league road games, particularly against Atlantic Hockey opponents, are on the...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Perhaps, but i doubt he’ll have positioned himself for the pros this year and I would hope he’d have sufficient appreciation for RPI’s investment in him to contribute a full season. I’m sure Lang has discussed the plan with his advisors and family. I think we agree that an NCAA team is in a...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Yes, but I think the fact that he’s coming here rather than playing as an over-ager in the OHL tells us a lot about his timeline. Summer pick-up games, even with NHL players, undoubtedly lack the speed and intensity of play in corners, in front of the net, anywhere you could line up a guy for a...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Jovanovic was 16 the last time he played in a competitive game. If we get anything from him this year it’s really a bonus. If he’s a significant contributor the kid is amazing. If he’s a highly-ranked player in the league by his sophomore or junior years they should make a damn movie about...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I think the comments about improved depth and balanced offense are good ones. Coach Lang spoke highly of Lucas Matta, but I wonder if he will even be able to get ice time at his natural position, defense, much less having to skate a regular shift on offense as he did in many games last year...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I really haven’t the slightest idea how this season will go. In a league that wasn’t impacted as much as most (at least in an unexpected way) by the portal and CHL - Ivy rosters are relatively stable and QU’s reloading has become an annual tradition - you’d think most know where they fit...

    Quinnipiac Bobcats - 2025 Offseason

    Interesting. I go to the RPI game every year and usually Cornell or at least one other opponent and I’ve never seen tickets in those sections offered online to the public. However, I generally buy pre-season or early in the year. Did they previously hold them back and put them on sale later...

    Quinnipiac Bobcats - 2025 Offseason

    I was looking to pick up tickets for a few games in Hamden and noticed that the student section has been dramatically altered. Instead of the normal block of about 3 sections behind the far goal, it looks like they are trying to optimize revenue by varying the size depending on the game. It...

    RPI Recruit Thread 2025-2026

    Wow. That would be a complete waste of a development year. He was a ppg guy in that league 3 years ago in his 17 year-old season. I have to believe this is transient thing while they work out a deal to get him to the BCHL or another better league outside the Hockey Canada hierarchy. If he...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    I don't think that's the case. I looked at the product they are using and it has the necessary features. It's a cloud-based offering that supports etickets and subscription based packages as well as individual game ticketing for both the general public and students. It wouldn't be possible to...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    At least it's better than the first time I went to Fenway Park back in the early 70s. The ticket office rep had a giant bank of little cubbies behind him representing each game and each class of seating. He'd walk back and pull a stack of tickets that he'd rifle through to respond to a request...

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    Why are they printing thousands of physical tickets? Most places have gone to e-tickets as the standard distribution method with physical tickets only being used for in-person purchases or on request. UConn made that switch with my football season tickets about 5 years ago. I know our...

    Speaking of tickets, I just noticed that Union has individual game tickets on sale. I was going to buy a pair and drive up for our game when I realized it is on a Halloween Friday. We get a pretty good amount of kids if the weather is good so I think I should help my wife that night (while...

    I hope they get "Kentuckied" or "Duked" (collecting a bunch of one and dones that come up short when team play is needed at tournament time). Even better, my need for schadenfreude would be fulfilled by them finishing 5th in the Big 10 again.

    RPI 2025–26: Off the Critical List and In Recovery

    A non-hockey note: I was just looking at the school website with the new logo. I'm gradually coming to terms with it. On the home page I noticed the usual sort of claims regarding the ROI on an RPI education, starting salaries and research participation. The fourth one, however, floored me...

    RPI Recruit Thread 2025-2026

    I suspect this is a weird year in general for major junior rosters and teams are feeling things out. Traditionally they were drafting the best 16 year olds that preferred the pro route over college. They’d join the club as 16-18 year olds and play until they were 20 with a few extending for...
