So many hockey schools within an hour drive from home, just wish they would stretch the trips a little farther east. I've done HC before, cost me two nights in a hotel, dinner at the worst House of Pizza and a couple hundred at Mohegan Sun that weekend. Tigers dropped two as well that weekend.

RIT only has six non-conference games. They are playing all three NC road games in New England. There are five teams in the league in that region and RIT will play either two or three of them each season. There really is not much more they can do unless they give up home games.

A little farther east than Providence? Where do you live, in the Atlantic Ocean?

Yes, I've done the drive many times but mother nature has a funny way of dropping a ton of snow on game days making the drive just a bit slippery. Add m******* drivers and you got a pretty bad mix. I know, third world problems but I'll try to do better!

LOL
Blazer's location says Portsmouth, NH. That's 100+ miles North-Northeast of Providence, maybe 20 miles in the Easterly direction... maybe.

Class of 2021 announced:
http://www.ritathletics.com/news/20...-join-mens-hockey-for-the-2017-18-season.aspx
Forwards Bruce, Delainey, Dupuis, Hamacher, and Traptow. Defensemen Seiferling and Willett; Goalies Andriano and Drackett.
Looks good, but I'll be rooting for Andriano to win the goalie competition because "Logan Drackett" just doesn't sound like an RIT goalie name.

New England crows are a strange bunch sand go to the most unusual places. Only two more months until we can get back to talking about hockey!

Crows are not to be mocked. They are smart and are survivors who can make a "living" most anywhere - land or sea
I wish Dan Willett the best of luck. When he was 16 and a star in the NY metropolitan area, he committed to Northeastern and left for the USHL. I guess the NU coaches were expecting him to grow. Never happened! A year or two later, he and NU parted company. There was a story going a around that he wanted to go Ivy. Also never happened. Despite his size he managed to stay healthy and in the lineup. He must be pretty tough and smart to survive in that league. Hopefully, he'll be in the lineup when the Huskies come to visit in October.

Anyone hear anything about Brick City Tickets? I thought I recalled reading they should go on sale by now, but have not heard anything since the initial season ticket Email...

I second your question Tom, its been a long time since I've been in the lower ring of the Blue Cross Arena because I usually check for online ticket sales for a few days in a row, then I forget a day or a week or so, and then I remeber to check again and the only thing left is way in the back. Hopefully we will see an announcement soon. Oh and congrats to the four seniors from last year going off to play pro hockey, (Caleb, Todd, Alex and Danny) as was posted on RIT Hockey's Twitter feed a few days ago. Best of luck to the four of you.

Thanks! I was able to purchase my tickets this morning, excited to be heading back to the BCA for Homecoming, it has always been a great event. I did notice between messing around with the ipad, getting another cup of coffee, and eventually switching to a desktop (easier to select your seats with a mouse versus a touch pad) I lost the first set of tickets I chose so I imagine the lower bowl tickets will go fast.
Thank you again for the update on the ticket sales.

Every year buying tickets to Brick City has been a flustercuck. I just tried to buy tickets and the whole brick city site is down. Is there some other way to buy tickets?

I think this is just confirming what many of us have believed to be the case ever since Garbowsky graduated.
The author of this article points to that fact as a reason to believe the Tigers are a "...prime candidate to bounce back...".
I hope this proves to be the case, but I am seriously concerned about where the "finish" is going to come from. They didn't have any elite finishers last season, even when they were healthy. Until an incoming freshman steps up and becomes that next Garbowsky, McGowan, Brenner, Favot, or the like, this team will have to work their butts off in front of the opposing goaltenders and get as many "dirty" goals as they can. They're capable of doing that enough to win given their ability to win the puck-possession game on most nights, but it would be nice to get a finisher or two to lighten that load a bit.
