Neither are upstate. They are very much Western. The only person we have associated directly with the RPI hockey team that is from Upstate NY is Mark Miller (Massena).

Let's stop this. Don't you think that it has run its course?

Absolutely not. I take offense to being lumped in to an entire part of a state just because it isn't NYC, when there are numerous cultural differences across the state.

In any case, if we want to talk recruits, I wonder what's going on with Melanson? Perhaps the big pond is a bit unsettling?

Jesus H. Christ - nobody gives a flying **** what upstate is literally defined is ! Even I live in Albany and dont care, and can certainly tell you that everyone in NYC think of "upstate" as anything north of the Bronx and that dividng up as you are incessantly doing is meaningless and irrelevent, because nobody every really cares - except for, evidently, you alone. PLEASE STOP.

He's further from the Atlantic Ocean than last year.

*facepalm* Not that big pond...

I'm talking about the USHL. Similar to how JL scored a goal a game in Ontario, yet has had some difficulty in college.

I knew that of course. I am still optimistic that he will pick up his game the rest of this season. I think JL had a different problem -- lack of better competition. He stagnated somewhat in the CJHL.

Who made you the boss?

I wonder if SA has any more NYers up his sleeve (regardless of cultural area)...

i suspect that he does. BTW, Jenn Godin of Clarence Center is the only woman from NYS. I was going to add recruit Katie Rooney, but she is from the wrong Buffalo.

I remember passing Buffalo once or twice on I-94 on the trip to St. Cloud (I didn't get lost, just went to the Mall of America), and thought to myself, "Why is Buffalo so small?"

Good to see we're picking up a lot of the Buffalo area, although I suspect RIT isn't too thrilled with that.

I am happy and really quite surprised that we are getting more NYS recruits in the SA era. In the recent past most that we got were from the CD. We seemed to have little chance against the other NYS teams from those from further north or west.

Gawd. We're still arguing this? Enough already.

Anyway, what difference does it make whether they come from NY State, California, or Slovakia? When they get here, they are all Engineers!

Re RIT: We got Bourbonnais whose father and uncle both played there.

I agree that it doesn't make a difference when they get to RPI, but discussing where we get recruits from seems to me to be on topic -- certainly more so than discussing geography or Troy brothels.
