It was a very hard year in every way.

Adversity that can never be understood by anybody but those in our locker room. I AM PROUD of this team for your character and integrity through the most difficult of times. YOU NEVER QUIT and for that you are CHAMPIONS to me @RPI_WHockey pic.twitter.com/nFL6eoQLk8

This is not about recruiting or the players, granted there are more talented teams in the ECAC but this group of players have given this coaching staff everything and deserved much better from them, especially Vines. He has shown no growth as a coach in terms of learning or understanding the intricacies of coaching women or the women’s game. This team has had plenty of opportunities to score and compete in games but Vines has chosen to put out the same schemes and line combos over and over. Hockey doesn’t work that way and he continually demonstrates that he is in way over his head when it comes to in-game adjustments and putting together effective systems or make fundamental decisions. To do nothing, shows Alumni and players that this administration does not care about this program and certainly these young women. The fact that he is coaching like someone that is not desperate for a win or in fear of losing his job, adds to the stories flying around town and D1 hockey that this guy only received this gift of a job because his wife is essential to the Athletic Director. The Athletic Director had been silent but for him to keep this staff in place makes RPI look bad and sad. SHAMEFUL.
Vines Era:
23-67-12
Goals per Game: 1.2
Goals Against: 2.7
Games with 1 Goal scored or less: 72 (71%)
Games Shutout: 28 (27%)
* His best year was the first year he took over and it has gotten worse each season since despite having one of the best goalies in the game.

People will say it was with another coaches recruits but old coach was their for 8 years....and look what he didn’t do with his own recruits. I will be looking to see what he does moving forward as I heard he has decommit Ed some of the 2021s.
Interesting note 4 Ivy schools in top 5 of ECAC this year. Is this a sign the pendulum has swung?

Originally posted by ARM View PostI don't think so. Colgate is young, as are many of SLU's key players. Quinnipiac got better as the season went along. Even Union hinted at promise that we aren't used to seeing from the Dutchwomen. You are correct that the Ivy teams look better than they have in some time, but it will be interesting to see what Cornell is like next year. The Big Red graduates a lot of seniors. Harvard parlayed a great start into home ice, but I'm not convinced that is a given in future seasons.

Re: RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa
I'd consider donating if there was a clear commitment to success. Keeping Vines shows none of that. I also highly doubt this Lake Placid retreat will actually help. Every team claims every road trip is a "bonding" experience that will help them win more, but this won't change neither the (lack of) talent in our players nor the head coach of the program.
