Rumblings now that the RPI-COlgate games will not be played in Troy.... cannot confirm as of yet.

Where would they play them if not in Troy?

No idea... I probably should have waited to post, but it was from a usually reliable source. I suppose we'll know more as the day unfolds.

That concerns me. You never forget anything!! Have you checked in the refrigerator for your house keys? Are you wearing two different color socks?

I blame two different color socks on colorblindness.

That would eliminate the vestiges of a home field advantage.

Not that we've had much of any for the past four days, at least in terms of psychology. No matter what, we'll have last change, and hopefully choice of benches and ends.

For me, last change and having our bench next to the penalty boxes are the real aspects of home field advantage. Would love the home crowd but that would just be extra gravy. Always need whatever extra benefit you can get. If we go back to the beginnings of successful RPI hockey, we could learn a lot from Coach Harkness and some of the things he did to help the team.

I’m getting the feeling all NCAA sporting events are soon to be cancelled. Things seem to be headed in that direction very quickly.

All I want to know is, if we score during the last minute of the period, will I still get my free taco??

I was wondering when junior leagues would start. This would affect 2 of our recruits, Beaton and Davies.

UPDATE: The USHL is informing teams and coaches that the league is expected to be put on hold for two weeks, but that timetable is subject to change.

Expect an official statement from the league soon.

I’ll have more on this ongoing story: https://t.co/qNbYsrlhFh

Atlantic Hockey and ECAC about to cancel tournaments if they haven't already. The rest will be following suit in short order, it is presumed.

FWIW, if the season is cancelled, our offseason is over 5% done already figuring from the end of the last game which we played on 2/29.
