RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

Re: RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

I just want a goal this month.

Odds are 50-50 for that if we're being honest. This team is pathetic, 0-20-1. McElroy is going to have a lot of questions to answer if he does not fire Vines after the season.
 
Re: RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

In case anyone was curious, KRACH gives us an expected point total of 2.2 at the end of the season, about 17 points out of a playoff spot (the bar for which is admittedly high this year). We can hang our hat on the fact that we at least aren't as abjectly garbage as the NEWHA, but just by virtue of that measly tie. It's gross.

I hadn't checked the directory in a while. The first member of next fall's class has appeared.

Granted I graduated RPI 17 years ago :eek: in May, but when did the Tute start offering HandSS as a major? For that matter, what is it? ::confused:

And, why is she undecided, she only has to choose Left or Right :D

It's weird to see it written like that, but it's HASS or Humanities and Social Sciences.

This recruit looked good when first announced and better now. She is off to a really good start in the CSSHL, fourth in scoring in 12 games: 7-13-20. The Edge school has produced a number of really good players over the years who have gone on to NCAA, Canada U18 and pro careers.

There is a chance that this is Ellie Kaiser, but I don't think that we have ever had a math major.

For 2022 Nina Christof Selects Academy 16U https://www.selectshockey.com/academy/bishop-kearney-girls/girls-16u-page/
It looks like the 'Tute will have to get another flag for the rafters. :D

She has played for Germany in the U18 WJC the last three years. She must have been 14 the first time.
https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/440383/nina-christof

I am quite surprised that Neutral Zone only gave her 2.75. I doubt that Germany's WJC was too great but to play on an U18 national team as a 14-year old, she must have some talent.

Isn't Hammelburg where Hogan's Heroes took place? :) (Edit: I was right.)

She will appear on the list which I post on the men's recruit thread on Sunday or Monday.


Edit: She was Germany's highest scorer by three points at the most recent U18 WJC (D1A) https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2020/ww18ia/teams/statistics/12967/germany and tied for the points lead overall https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2020/ww18ia/skaters/scoringleaders.
Edit2: The tourney final is being held today.
Edit3: The games are being streamed live. It is being played at 6 PM European time which I think is noon in the east.
Edit 4: https://www.iihf.com/en/events/2020/ww18ia/gamecenter/playbyplay/14857/15-jpn-vs-ger #6 in white
Edit5: She had an assist on the first goal in a 2-1 win.

Looks like another good recruit. Won't graduate until 2022 but already performing at a high level. As a 16 year old she was Germany U-18's leading scorer at the Division 1 tournament concluding today. Germany's victory in the tournament moves them up to the World Championship level next year, I think, so it will be interesting to see how she performs at that level.
 
Re: RPI 2019-2020: Life after Lovisa

Fun fact, was chatting with my company's Chief Enterprise Architect today and turns out she played hockey at RPI like 30 years ago. I was so excited to tell her I've actually watched a women's hockey game at RPI before haha

They will indeed be promoted, and it will indeed be interesting to see next year. I am too lazy to check if Germany, which Christof also played for last year and two years ago, was in the Championship level then.

I do find it very hard to understand how NZ rated her as 2.75 which is not of D-I caliber. I don't get the NZ women's evaluations anymore as they are now a separate subscription.

I watched most of today's game although I kept losing the signal. She had an excellent shot early after a steal in the second period which almost went in.

Edit: She doesn't appear to have a twitter account but her Instagram masthead states she will be RPI '26 in agreement with arriving in 2022. https://www.instagram.com/_ninachristof07_/

Edit2: I did check, two years ago, Germany was in the top group. Christof had 1 assist and 4 minutes in penalties in 5 games.

Can I ask who? RPI was still a club team back then. IIRC, they became D-III in 1995.

Yeah she said it was club -- "borderline intramural" were her words haha... Her name is Sue Piasecki. Not certain if that's a married name. EDIT: I think it is after some googling.
