Anyone else concerned about the season not happening? Seems SJ has the entire student body at bay and not allowing access to any facilities. Certainly the concern of an outbreak has to be a non factor given there has been 55K plus tests since August and only 8 positives, zero hospilizations. From my research via the net, RPI appears to one of the few hockey schools or only school, with no access to weight room and/or on campus ice and such strict guidelines such as two students/one bathroom. (I understand there was mechanical issues at Fieldhouse, but little effort from top to get repairs done in a timely manner.) Thus, the player development with coaches is zero. Sophes are at home training on their own, others have decided to spend semester at home and train. Can't imagine the mental toll this is having on students/athletes. Hearing rumors that players in Troy cannot even access any gear/sticks and they are having to skate away from campus at their own expense. Seems a bit odd to me, but appears little effort from SJ to allow some sort of return to practice/play for hockey or any other athlete in Troy.
No word from our AD regarding potential schedule/ECAC play, no announcement of captains etc leads me to believe the the dictatorship from the top is in full force.
I may be way odd base here, but if SJ pulls plug on an RPI season, the program will suffer in many areas for a very long time.
Thoughts??
