At no point did I say that. All I said was that the manner in which it was coordinated is unacceptable for purposes of legality. If you're so insistent upon this, you can come talk to me in person. You know where to find me.

And if you really want to play games on the amount, two can play that. I said 30:1. I did not say in what direction.

Trying to change the topic. :)

It looks like the weather in the CD (a.k.a. upstate NY :D ) for the golf outing with the team is much better than here in DC.

I'm tempted to state another can of worms has been opened, although it's not yet a USCHO tradition yet... ;)

Met several of the newcomers today @ the golf outing. Tironese was the last one I talked to when I remembered (:o) to ask about #’s. Sorry Ralph. Numbers have been assigned & ET will wear #11.

Couple items from the Golf Outing:

-Weather was beautiful. Nice to see the freshmen out there. Spoke briefly with Brady (is excited for the season, commented on how he had a good year when I brought up his gaudy junior stats) and Cam (welcomed him to the team and thanks for coming on such short notice, he chuckled).

-Two players were not in attendance this year - and we know how things have worked in the past with this (no weddings mentioned this time). Milos Bubela and Craig Bokenfohr were not there. From what I'm told, Milos is gone. Bokenfohr's absence may explain why there was a defenseman missing off the press releases this summer. They will be missed!

I didn’t see Milos there but just thought I overlooked him. Hope he’s still with the Team. Shame if he’s not. 1 year away from that sheepskin. Edit; I say 1 year but I have no idea how well he’s done academically.

Today is 11 August 2015. There are 53 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 3 October 2015 for the start of next season.

IMHO Bubela would be a big loss. B4, not so much.

Edit: I wonder if Cam's chuckle indicated that SA had long known that Dillon wasn't going to college and he (Hackett) had already committed unofficially to RPI.

Bubela is still in the RPI directory if that means anything. Dillon, for example, disappeared a couple of weeks after he decommitted. He is listed as a senior, so if he is having academic problems I wouldn't think they are severe.
 
Re: RPI 2015-16 Preseason Thread: To Dream the Impossible Dream

Bubela was a member of the Slovakian national team. It is feasible that he has signed a professional deal.
 
Re: RPI 2015-16 Preseason Thread: To Dream the Impossible Dream

It would be a huge bummer if Milos didn't come back. We already have trouble with offense. Losing three of our top four point scorers from last year doesn't look good.

Not that losing Bokenfohr isn't also sad. Back when I was a student, he was one of the only guys on the team that would say "hi" every time we passed in the halls.

Appert's an expert recruiter. I'm sure he always has an ace up his sleeve.

Now if only the same could be said when it comes to bench coaching, there wouldn't be a reason for such pessimism...

I learned a long time ago not to get hung up on who was and who was not at the golf outing. Often times there are legitimate reasons for it and more often than not it's much ado about nothing.

That said, Lou Nanne also was not at the outing.

Although he didn't make the ECAC All-Academic team he made the RPI Dean's list in the spring. Thus if he has left it is not for academic reasons. See http://rpi.meritpages.com/achieveme...rder_by=last_name&order_dir=asc&submit=Update and page down many times.
