Someone posted on the Clarkson Roundtable that RPI has cancelled their season.
ECAC announces its moving forward with 4 teams. Schedules for the first half are posted. Colgate, Clarkson and Quinny have games. Nothing for SLU yet.

Gee, who could have seen this coming, other than the two-thirds of the conference who chose to be a little more prudent? The Commish will have to find some aftermarket sheepskins for those now wanting to join the safety of the fold.
Sure - those sheep can sit home all season. Ivies can sit in their ivory towers quivering in fear while all their good men's players transfer. These teams will adjust the schedule and keep on playing. Getting covid means little to this age group. Grandma is not at the rink. Get it and get it over with and you don't have to get the vaccine.
Unfortunately, my family is having to deal with this right now! It isn't a big deal with this age group until it is a big deal to this age group. My daughter, tested positive for C-19 with mild/moderate symptoms. The worst two symptoms she had was a mild fever and back pain. The link below is the algorithm that should be followed before an athlete is to return to play. However, many schools (I am aware of at least 6) are not holding to these standards for athlete return to play. We are being safe and have scheduled her for the hsTn, ECG, and ECHO for tomorrow. Also, local news regarding HS students suffering from permanent damage for getting back to play too soon, and not giving enough time for rest. Another HS student has passed away due to cardiac arrest.
Having said all of that, this is America where you should be free to choose for yourself. Just be ready to stand accountable for the decisions you have made. Accountability is something that is lost on society today.
I truly hope we can get to some semblance of a season for these athletes. Stay safe everyone and Happy Thanksgiving!

I agree with you that individuals can determine their own tolerance and act accordingly. Preferable to mandates from the overlords.
At least in regards to mask wearing, I laugh loudly every time I hear such sentiments. Leaving it up to us to do what is right is exactly what's caused the problem. We have already proven that without a mandate too many of us won't wear masks and could care little about if that means spreading the virus to others. South Dakota is a prime example. That Gov keeps saying she trusts her citizens to mae the right decisions for themselves and I heard yesterday they may have the highest per capita Covid death rate in the country or - based on one report - the world. Most people simply are not very good at doing hard and inconvenient things unless we are made to do so. Not sure how much more proof we need on that!
