Let's Go 'Tute!
Today is 25 June 2020. There are 100 days until RPI's next game.
This is based upon 3 October 2020 for the start of next season.

I posted this over on the Colgate page, but thought I'd post it here as well, as RPI football may have a similar fate:
Liberty League released details yesterday on upcoming football plans. Looks like athletes won't return until all students do, shortened football schedule starting in late September. It wouldn't shock me if this is how ECAC hockey season unfolds...(shortened season starting in January) if we are fortunate enough to have hockey at all.

If Williams is not participating in fall sports, it is not a good sign for Division III competition in the Northeast.

Awesome! Thanks so much to

alumni Ken Hammond ‘85 | Neil Hernberg ‘87 | Terry Butryn ‘85 - all members of the 1985 NCAA Championship Team. A phenomenal meeting with our current leadership group. #hailtothee #rpihockey
FWIW, Butryn was '87.
That should give us a pretty good clue regarding next season's captains.
Except that there are 7 players, three goalies and Jerry, Sellar, Linden, and Ferner.
At most levels of hockey goalies cannot wear the 'C' or 'A'. However, I'm not sure the NCAA has such a limitation. It would also be surprising to have a new guy, Sellar, be a captain, but it makes sense that he'd be in the leadership group since he will be one of the most experienced guys on the team. So, my guess is that a captain and two assistants will come from Ferner, Jerry and Linden.
Goalies can be the captain or AC in college, but I am pretty sure that they cannot be the one who speaks to the ref.
