Possible, but he would have to show vast improvement in his skating ablities, such as lateral movement, pivots and overall foot speed.
His hockey sense/decision making is real good.

Don't worry about him, quiddlet. It's natural for people like that to lash out at things they don't understand.

Yes because he is such a proven commodity. And though Appert has struggled at times you can see improvement and the international experience and national recogniton will be nothing but positive for RPI. Put aside your garbage because you have a beef with a few posters and tell me why Holy Cross and Union are better fits than RPI for HE? I'm sure their large arenas with the equally large rabid fan base and rich hockey history are probably a good place for you to start.

Because Union would move to scholarship based and would kill it on the recruiting side. Union is a program on the rise, RPI is not. They are still middle of the pack with zero tournament success and ECAC tournament success. Could go as far as saying regular season and ECAC tournament biggest flops over past 2 seasons. No one else has done relatively worse in ECAC tournament. They might take off this year but have not yet.
Holy Cross just started offering scholarships and did a great job with them, very nice run in playoffs last year making it to final 4 in Rochester. Close and they go after different type of students than what other local Hockey East schools do. If anything, they might grab a few kids bound for Ivy schools
Both would be better fits.

This makes zero sense for a number of reasons.
Way to hedge your bets. You have zero courage.
Just stop.

It's true. The dregs of society are always "misunderstood" in their eyes.

Holy Cross would be a bottom of the pack ECAC team and Union has had brief success. There are alot of other reasons besides on ice results that this decision will be based on. Many have been documented already so I won't list but rest assured that neither of your listed teams are being considered for Hockey East and RPI is.

Don't be so hard on yourself. With time, and a proper education, you don't have to always be that way.

Kinda funny how a UVM fan has his tongue firmly implanted on a BC fan's perineum.
Look, guys, we're already being accepted in Hockey East. They're coming here. It's part of their primitive culture.

This is exceptionally weak. I'm pretty sure, as a non-grandfathered D3 play up school, that Union can't give athletic scholarships based on NCAA rules... They have a small, mostly non traveling fanbase, an arena that is 800 seats smaller than Merrimack, and minimal historical ties with Hockey East. Outside of some recent success, what else do they have to offer to Hockey East?
Holy Cross?!?! If this isn't blatant trolling, then you are short bus special. Outside of the '06 NCAA tourney upset, they have done nothing. I've been to the Hart Center multiple times. They don't even fill their own 1600 seat arena. The ECAC didn't even accept HC when they had the chance...
If you truly believe that either of these teams is a better fit for HE than RPI, then it is a pretty clear indication that you have no understanding of the dynamics of conference alignment.... I will amend my previous statement though. Even if you are blatantly trolling...I still think that you are a moron.

Your first sentence makes no sense grammatically and even if I throw of all the words into an hat, I can't figure it out, so I will ignore it.
I understand the second sentence which repeats something which you wrote earlier. I agree that Union has been improving the last couple of years. I don't expect it to continue long term. Time will tell who is correct.
RPI did finish in the middle of the pack and has had no recent ECAC or NCAA tournament success. I do, however, think that they are slowly improving by building a firm foundation in all four classes. They do not have one great class which when it graduates means they have to start over. SA has spread the wealth. There was a hiccup in SA's plans when JD'A and BP left a year ago, but the fact that the team made the NCAA tournament shows that the team is still moving forward. (Yes, we all would have at least liked to see us score a goal.)
I doubt that HC has received even a slight bit of interest by the HE management. They have done well with their resources and probably will continue to do so, but they have no value added to the league.
Besides for RPI, the only school that deserves to be considered is QU, and as has been said here, they don't have the history that RPI has and the long-term relationship with the HEA schools.

All this talking/name calling is pretty lame. How about we just let the games do the talking when and if RPI joins HEA...to our posters coming over from the Hockey East threads, welcome and please contribute arguments with facts and some thought. The best way to prove a point to a guy like me up is to give me actual facts that prove the point your trying to make, not calling me or any of our other loyal posters and fans names. With that being said, I look forward to having great discussions with you over the wonderful sport of college hockey now and for the months and years to come.

Not everyone takes the high road like me. Love the fact my new BFF Johnk running smack at Hokydad. Be careful HD will call his friend Barack Hussien Obama and have you arrested as he is having dinner w/ Gordie Howe, Gretz and Mess.

Im usually pretty good at ignoring those types of posts and can handle skipping over the pointless posts but today was a bit of overkill. I sometimes miss actual news or articles on the team that I would want to read.

Neither has a building suitable for ECAC play , never mind HE...nor any intentions of building one....but I'm sure that just skipped your mind.
