I only count three seniors and two of those are goalies. Where is the leadership going to come from?
Starting the season in January may be to our advantage with such a young team. JMO

Sellar, who is a grad transfer, is mis-identified as a freshman on the current roster. Somebody posted a screen capture of Smith's "leadership group" on a zoom call with Terry Butryn and others from the '85 team--it's a larger group including a number of well-seasoned members of the junior class.

Sellar is mislabeled. He is a senior (actually a grad student). Others like Linden and Ferner are also in the leadership group.
 
Amazing that four hours after EHF's post, three of us posted essentially the same thing in about a minute of each other.

Check out the Clarkson athletics website for what they are doing to their season ticket holders.

While the "prose" is certainly flowery, all it really tells them is to go away for a year and find something else to do until such time it is decided that they and their money is wanted again.

Guess with "all" the live entertainment options available in St. Lawrence County, they have little choice but to do what they are told to do by "superior beings" and then return with money when "superior beings" decide they can return.

In effect, with attendance to probably be limited to 25 to 50% they probably will not even be able to get their hands on an individual game ticket. They are probably now little more than a distant fourth in the pecking order behind students paying tens of thousands annually, corporate sponsors with signage throughout building and local significant contributors.

Would not recommend anyone in Rensselaer County trying this approach. Here entertainment options are limitless and people will find something else to do and they will do it quickly. When the time comes that local "superior beings" decide the masses can return, they are far more likely to get a thanks, but, no thanks than the "superior beings" of St. Lawrence County.

Just saw we surpassed post 1234.

When I was working for GE in Schenectady in 1980, the zip code for the main branch of the post office was 12345, courtesy of Congressman Sam Stratton. Today, that branch is 12301.
