RPI 2020-2021: Turk leads us back to HFH

RPI 2020-2021: ECAC feels the wrath of Turk

Those that are football fans know the guy that notifies players to see the coach because they've been cut is called "the Turk." So avoiding the Turk is everyone's goal. I just haven't found a positive way to use it here.

I always wondered if that was why he used the nickname turk. I should have asked.

I also should have asked him why he replied "That might be the stupidest first sentence I’ve ever read." to an email which I wrote. :-D

The ECAC is planning on a 20-game schedule. Teams will be broken into a New England division (Princeton, Yale, Brown, Harvard, Dartmouth and QU) and a New York division (Cornell, Clarkson, Colgate, RPI, Union, SLU). 4 games vs. each division opponent. NO games vs. other division.

@MikeMcMahonCHN
Every team makes playoffs. 6v3 and 5v2 in play-in round (1-game series). Then those winners advance to play 1&2 (who get byes). The ECAC Championship will feature the NY winner vs. the NE winner.

Is it safe to assume the regular season will now extend until at least March 5 & 6? At least 10 weeks are needed to do this. But, haven't at least half the ECAC teams already announced they will not play anything until after January, 1? There are only nine weekends in January and February and that is counting January 2 & 3. Then, at least three more weeks for playoffs and that is assuming the one game series is played mid week.

Does this fit within the NCAA regional time frame or has that been set back too?
 
In honor of James McIsaac, today is 25 September 2020. There are 8 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 3 October 2020 for the start of next season.

I like everything about this. Especially the two divisions. I would love to see that continue when we get back to whatever normal will be.
I am guessing that the games will be played without spectators, but will RPI have a tv crew streaming the games? Will there be announcers and radio coverage for the away games?

Wouldn't 0xxxx and 1xxxx Zip Code divisions be more appropriate?

This is a positive development. The ECAC better do the right thing and make up a TV package so that its easy for fans to view games...

I hope not. No matter how many times I could make it back to HFH in a given season, I could count on attending the Yale and QU road games. This year it's Troy or bust.

I wonder if teams will still play using the split weekend travel partners format (i.e. teams will travel to the Capital District twice to play RPI and Union each time) or will a team come in twice to play a two game set against one opponent (i.e. play RPI one weekend and Union on another). They might even mix it up - playing very close travel partners like Union/RPI and Clarkson/SLU as split weekends and those that are far apart (for example, QU/PU) on a one team per weekend basis.

Speaking of Nick Bowman, there are at least 8 players who are in town.
At the golf course where I work part time, there were 2 foresomes of RPI players. One group had Owen Savory, Kyle Hallbauer, Brady Ferner, and Bowman. The other group had Jakub Lacka, Ture Linden, Billy Jerry, and Ottoville Leppanen. I didn’t really get a chance to speak with them, but they all looked healthy and in great spirits.
 
In honor of Brady Ferner, today is 27 September 2020. There are 6 days until RPI's next game.
