Steve Pinizzotto may or may not end up with the Bears but, as of this post, I am unable to find any mention of him being assigned to Hershey, so I'm assuming he's still in the Caps training camp. He even got in a fisticuff with the Predators' Kelsey Wilson this past Saturday in preseason play.

Pinizotto is listed in Group C, and will probably be in Hershey. Probably needs to try to be a physical presence inorder to stick with the Caps. Discussion in the Caps/Bears blogs has given him an outside/long shot.

They probably dont want construction during brick city.

Brick City is right at the start of hockey season. If they aimed to have construction done before hockey season (and I'm talking about the 11-12 season here), it'd be done before Brick City.

As it is, they're going to be starting construction around Brick City time and continuing it throughout the hockey season. The big question, then, is when they're going to find time to knock down walls and connect the new construction to the existing locker rooms.

I Think the work will finish after the season is over. The project is scheduled to finish in April and as all projects at RIT it will finish late.

Along those same lines, our old pal Carl Hudson has failed his physical and will NOT be joining the Amerks in camp. As the commenter said, maybe if he played cleaner, he wouldn't have hurt himself.

Can someone explain the rationale for spending $3.5 million on locker rooms? Why not just save the money and put it towards a new arena. We need more seats, bathrooms, bigger ice, etc...

Interesting, huh? I read all about that on the Amerks threads. Seems like there's something odd going on there. He claims two doctors have cleared him to play while the Panthers say he needs surgery that they aren't on the hook for because it happened while he was at Canisius. It's too bad, too. He actually brought a desperately needed physical presence (albeit maybe not the cleanest) to a previously weak Amerks defense. Oh well.

I've been wondering the same thing.
If they're talking to any potential donors for the new arena, aren't they going to turn to RIT and ask: "Why do I have to pony up another 3.5 million that YOU just spent renovating an arena you had no intention of staying in?"
Maybe they're not looking at a new arena as much as we'd all hope and like to think they are.

I had the same question when this was originally announced last winter. Why invest money in a facility that you want to replace. Based on the discussion at that time, the addition is being paid for out of RIT funds, not special fundraising efforts. Also, it is not just for use by Hockey. That fact alone made it a lot more sensible to me.

My understanding is that these facilities are being built with the future in mind. Basically the way it was explained to me from someone in athletics is that they designed the locker rooms such that when (if) the hockey teams ever leave Ritter Arena the new facilities will be used by the RIT Soccer Teams and other teams using the Fields near D-lot.

...perhaps during an all-out DI push? One has to wonder.
 
Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

Just announced on WITR's ask Dr. Destler program:

New locker room renovations are being completed because the existing locker rooms no longer meet code...also, they plan on being in Ritter for at least the next 2-3 years so it will be put to good use.
 
Re: RIT 2010-11: What do Tigers dream of?

For those on Facebook, I did the preseason interview with Coach Wilson and placed it on the Corner Crew group there. If you are not on facebook, that is also where my previews will be.

I think the biggest area of concern for me is goaltending. As we should all know, an excellent goalie can make an average team very good, but a below-average goalie can make a very good team very average.

Does this mean your not concern about the non-conference schedule this year? :confused: :confused: :confused: ;) :D

Not confirmed by RIT yet, but sources say that Niagara at RIT on 2/25/11 will be televised nationally on the CBS College Sports Network.

Awesome. This would have to be the first nationally televised game at the Ritter, right?

I'm gonna go ahead and guess there isn't too much potential for that on the hockey team though
