Harvard Crimson 2026-'27: The Rassey Era Begins
- Thread starter Skate79
- Start date
On the incoming class, it seems like there is some confusion over how many are coming to Cambridge this fall. For instance, College Hockey News has the following recruits listed for 2027 but does not specify which ones are matriculating this fall:

On GoCrimson.com, only six incoming frosh are listed and several are missing from other lists that I have seen for this fall. As an example, Luca Graziano is listed as an incoming player yet he's not on the GoCrimson list. I suppose GoCrimson is the definitive source although I'm wondering if some backchanneling is being done by Rassey to perhaps get one or two more to commit to this fall.

I hope everyone is a having a good summer. Interesting that Donato joined the Devils as an Assistant Coach. Best of luck to him in this new endeavor.
I assume the Class we have coming in is final given that there was a delay between Rassey hiring announcement and the class announcement which would have given Rassey some time to discuss things with recruits. The only surprises for me was Salandra coming this year and Brosnan coming next year. Losing Ryder Cali to Providence late hurts as he was an impact recruit who would have brought size & grit to Harvard as well.
Below is what Harvard could look like last year. Green means the player is a Senior and the Red means the player is a freshman. Harvard has 10 kids slated to come in next year and with 7 departing, I would expect there to be some turnover in the recruiting ranks. I also wonder if Rassey will bring any Michigan guys with him eventually.
I do think that frosh goalie Guimond will push Charette which is good and will not leave Charette as exhasted as he has been towards the back end of the season.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the schedule when it was up. Perhaps Rassey wants to reschedule some teams.
As much as I like Ryan St. Louis as a player, I think Brown would object to having him skate with the Crimson. Especially since he's a forward. Couldn't resist.
Here is the link to the schedule for the upcoming season. Heavy on HE as expected with no tournaments outside of the Beanpot.
