    Still caring more about football than hockey? If that's the case, there are some lovely shoes you might be interested in seeing in a trophy case in Troy...

      Goaltending was my biggest disappointment last year. Sometimes, you need your goalie to steal a game for you; last season, it didn't happen. More shot blocking by the forwards should help, but without a goalie, there isn't much the team can do (Alex's 3.07 save % vs Lyon's 1.65). On the other hand, Alex did improve quite a bit, so I have hope. Competition will be good too.
      Oh, did he? Very stealthily I guess, as I wasn't able to detect this.

          This year's team will be one of the tallest and heaviest in Union's history. Of the current 60 teams in NCAA DI College Hockey, the Dutchmen will be the 14th tallest and 11th heaviest. Cornell once again sports the tallest team followed by Ivy League competitors Brown and Princeton. The Ivy league has traditionally put on the ice some of the biggest but also some of the youngest teams in college hockey.

          Average Height 2015-2016
          Cornell 6' 1.20"
          Brown 6' 0.88"
          Princeton 6' 0.85"
          Boston University 6' 0.83"
          Providence 6' 0.69"
          Maine 6' 0.68"
          Western Michigan 6' 0.65"
          Merrimack 6' 0.57"
          Boston College 6' 0.54"
          Michigan 6' 0.48"
          Robert Morris 6' 0.45"
          Michigan State 6' 0.43"
          Canisius 6' 0.41"
          Union 6' 0.41"

          Average Weight 2015-2016
          RIT 192.30
          Penn State 192.21
          Western Michigan 192.08
          Princeton 190.93
          Cornell 190.07
          Northeastern 189.73
          North Dakota 189.72
          Michigan 189.62
          Providence 189.56
          Notre Dame 188.66
          Union 188.5

          This year we will have 20 players who are 6'0" or taller.

              Next year will be very exciting if you're able to make it to our home games. By January 1 we will have played in our first 17 games and 13 will be home games. Next year's schedule will be very interesting. Will we continue our offensive capabilities? Shore up defensively? Be ready for league play by January 1? Who will lead? By January 1, 2016 we will have played 8 conference games and 9 nc games. What will be our record?

                    I looked at "shots on goal/game average" but did not think that was a sound metric because some teams blast away with a low % of success while others deliberately take fewer shots so it plays heavily into the coaching philosophy. Some teams take fewer shots and score more frequently as a percentage of total shots. Again these are "ECAC only" (22 games) stats.

                        Caps’ Harrison commits to Union

                        http://www.cowichanvalleycitizen.com...321478981.html

                        Harrison was one of only two players to appear in all 58 games for the Caps in 2014/15, leading the team in goals with 22 and points with 46. His 24 assists were the second-highest total among Cowichan forwards, one back of teammate Darien Craighead. Harrison had a team-high eight power play goals, and his three game-winners were tied with captain Kyle Horsman for the most by a Capital. He racked up a mere six minutes in penalties over the course of the season, and was recognized by the Capitals organization with the team's Rookie of the Year and Most Sportsmanlike Player awards.

                        Sounds like a keeper to me

                                Looks like Jim will replace RPI's Jim Knowlton as the ECAC representative on the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Committee. Both A+ Athletic Directors and excellent choices to represent the ECAC. I will never forget RPI's Jim Knowlton awarding the National Championship Trophy to us in Philadelphia. He is a class act. Did RPI find a replacement?

                                McLaughlin added to NCAA hockey committee
                                by Ryan Fay

                                Union athletics director Jim McLaughlin has been added to the NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Committee, USCHO.com reported Tuesday.

                                McLaughlin will be ECAC Hockey's representative on the committee, which has one seat for each of the six hockey-playing conferences. He will serve the final two years of the four-year term that former RPI athletic director Jim Knowlton vacated when he departed for the same role at Air Force in January.

                                In addition to McLaughlin, the committee includes New Hampshire deputy athletic director Steve Metcalf, North Dakota athletic director Brian Faison, Minnesota senior associate athletic director Tom McGinnis, Army head coach Brian Riley, and Michigan Tech head coach Mel Pearson.
