As much as some may agree or disagree with the sentiments of banning fans and dictating movements (or lack thereof), one thing we must recognize is that college campuses are illness breeding grounds. You put a few thousand teenagers (and just above) in close proximity, and you stick a bacterium or virus in there; it's going to spread like wildfire. I'm sure we all remember becoming susceptible to these at one point or another, even if it's something as benign as a common cold.

Best that everyone does what they are comfortable doing, and if you do get sick, have some honey whiskey and lemon herbal tea ready to go. Flask if you have to.

I'm seeing rumblings that RPI will be doing online-only classes for the first two weeks following spring break: https://www.reddit.com/r/RPI/comment..._for_the_next/

Looks like it's official: https://www.reddit.com/r/RPI/comment..._suspends_all/

I guess we are getting serious now.

I guess we are getting serious now.

And we should. It is virtually out of control in Italy. They have a 6% death rate and only 7% of the cases have recovered so far. They have 1/5 the number of deaths that China has with only about 1/20th the population.

Completely agree, but I must say that he's improved his D zone play a lot this year....Pittsburgh must've sent a memo...

Seeing as how at least two and likely three Ivy league teams are playing in empty buildings this weekend, I can't imagine a scenario where the Ivies would reverse this ruling for next weekend, in the unlikely event that any of them were to make it to LP ??? Thoughts ?

I'm pretty sure at least one will make it through...

The Ivy League teams and players have started a petition to reinstate the Ivy League tourney. https://t.co/vBTPkTkNxi

......this is for bouncy ball... The hypocrisy of our Ivy League presidents is baffling and alarming. We are disappointed and disheartened that they would discriminate against one sport and allow the others to continue to compete. Other conferences, such as the SEC and Pac - 12, are still scheduled to host their men’s basketball championship tournaments. These tournaments are scheduled to start March 11 or later.

As long as it isn't Harvard.

Of course since Cornell is playing Princeton, it's a good bet.

Since Ryan Healey was mentioned, here is a projected lineup for next years USNTDP 17U team which does not include him.

Here it is, folks!

A Projected NTDP U17 roster based on USA Hockey’s invitee list put together by @TPEHockey and myself!

On talent alone this team grades out as a 9.5/10 for me.

There’s an unprecedented amount of top talent in this group.#NTDP #2022NHLDraft #2023NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/vcCMWAAdlu

We still hope that we go after him.

Does Seth have U17 or U18 next season?
