I believe Jake is of legal age now...so conceivably, yes.

if you've ever read the BRO's twitters, JL may have been of legal age during the Vietnam War....when he originally committed to RPI.

I am not a tweeter, nor do I aspire to be one.

Ok Ralph. More tidbits from Cornwall, with training camp roster shortening looming...

Coach MacInnis: "...Don’t know if you can call it a surprise but I really like how the local guys like Ross Craig, Benny Poirier, Andrew Ming and Tanner Spink have carried themselves,” he said.

Didn't you mean to post this on the Colgate thread?

If you can direct me to one, I'll do it...

This was nice. Good job.
Maybe I'll bring Red Cloud with me

I'm a little fuzzy on this but wasn't Eric Ming (Cornwall '08-'10) once on RPI's radar? I'm assuming Andrew (6'1 173lbs "96) is his brother/relative.

That is correct. I wanna say he was offered at one point. IIRC, he had a solid year in Kitchener last season.

I couldn't find the original Standard Freeloader article, but from http://www.standard-freeholder.com/2...hockey-options

If you're into reading the tea leaves, Ming in the past has talked about playing at NCAA school RPI near Albany being a dream of his.

I don't recall if we ever knew for sure if he received an offer, and USCHO posts back that far were all purged.

More Spinks?

Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2012 Part III: BYOB: Bring Your Own Bratwurst

More Spinks?

Yes sir. And lest we not forget Yanik Laliberte in Hawkesbury.

I will steer it to hockey and God willing, I will be here in 3 years so everyone can tell me how wrong I am. (I hope this info is wrong). The move to Lake Placid is pretty much the last straw for SOME of the Ivies. Several AD's and or presidents looking to break away from ECAC and start a 6 team Ivy league. Conceding they will have to stay thru 2014-15 but look for some more news on this in the not to distant future.

That move would not surprise me, John. In fact, I would be very surprised if it did NOT happen in the next 2-3 years. All the more reason this league should've found a way to put the toruney in MSG, if in fact that was a legitimate option as reported in the New Haven Register last week.

Conceding they will have to stay thru 2014-15 but look for some more news on this in the not to distant future.

I would love to know how the voting on the tourney location went. I can see that most of the Ivies are farther away from LP than most of the non-Ivies, but besides for that, I am not sure why the Ivies (as a group) should regard that as the last straw. I would think that if several of the Ivies regarded LP as the last straw, it would not have been chosen unless the non-Ivies wouldn't mind the Ivies going their own way.

I have many times heard that the reason that RPI stayed in the ECAC in the mid80's was that RPI (the Admin) regarded this association with the Ivies as a distinct plus for the school, and let's face it, at that time even Hokydad would have thought that RPI was on the upswing and was much in demand. I suspect that the other non-Ivy schools feel similarly. The Ivies regard the non-Ivies in a similar light, but they think that if they have to associate with some other D-I schools, this is about as good as it will get. So the questions are 1) do the Ivies gain something from the non-Ivies and 2) do the Ivies regard a six-team league as viable, since neither Penn nor Columbia show any signs of starting a program. To 1, not as much as they used to since the non-Ivies are mostly in a down period currently. On the other hand, the fact that the non-Ivies are down currently has opened up NCAA berths more to the Ivies. To 2, it's viable, but I personally think it would hurt them in the long run.

In your opinion, does he have D-I talent? Heisenberg has never added him to his page. BTW, I note that Melanson has been moved up in CH's ranking recently.

Can't honestly say. Haven't seen him play and haven't even read an assessment of his skills. He's 19 I think, and is quite small 5'8 155 (listed as), had 16-18-44 in 57 games...decent numbers on Hawks team that lost to Cornwall in the playoffs (he was 9-1-5-6).

Add me to the list of posters who will be showing up for the pre game booze fest/tailgate/hooliganism whatever we will call it. Most likely coming after work that day. Im calling for a group shot of all us posters before we enter the game.
