Email tonight From RPI:

Good afternoon RPI Hockey Fans,

We have all missed Engineers Hockey-every part of what makes the hockey season so special.

The RPI Pepband has developed an AI experience, and the 19-20 RPI Hockey Team has been programmed into NHL’21 EA Sports!
Tomorrow at 7PM, please join us at RPITV’s YouTube Channel to check out this RPI Hockey Game simulation.
The RPI Pepband will be performing, and Perry Laskaris will be hosting a couple interviews with RPI’s Men Hockey players and Head Coach Dave Smith!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow night!

Let’s Go Red!

FWIW, Union won 6-5. interesting that Marshall was in goal instead of Savory. They were using last year's roster including Burgess and Ashbrook as well as last year's grads.

Just read Clarkson’s season ends just as playoffs were about to begin and with a 2-2 record against Quinnipiac. And the reason is....because the men’s and women’s team had a party. Against the rules set up in order to have a season. All the effort. All the willingness to follow the expectations in order to play. All thrown out the window to have a party BEFORE the playoffs. And you wonder why SAJ seems unreasonable? Perhaps she has insight into the young person’s lack of self control? Think the coaches reminded the players to behave? Wasted breath.

Our athletes are much smarter than Clarkson's. If this is inevitable due to "young people lack of self control", why hasn't it happened to every hockey team? Why was it just Clarkson? Projecting one stupid team onto all athletes is flawed logic

Fwiw, my daughter tells me Liberty League is competing for spring sports - but not RPI. RPI and one other school have cancelled.

We're bringing her home this weekend. We were hopeful if LL played this spring then the hockey players could practice. Silly us. What were we thinking. At least we should get about 50% back on Room and Board. They might be losing lots of R&B if all the athletes go home.

Not withstanding the fact that there has yet to be any official announcement from the institution regarding the cancellation of spring sports since your post of March 1, the information provided in it at that time has proven to be MATERIALLY correct.

Multiple Liberty League institutions have now posted spring schedules on their websites. One institution is not listed on a single one of them. Guess it is now unofficially official. Two seasons taken from all of the spring athletes and only some deity would know if it ends there.

The only thing that has proven to be off from the two week old post is that there is no second Liberty League school that cancelled spring sports. All other conference institutions are accounted for on the schedules that have been posted.

I don’t disagree with you that just because one group screws up doesn’t mean all will. But when you make rules, they aren’t directed at the vast majority who are compliant. They are created because you anticipate people will break the rules and you are trying to prevent people from doing so. The flawed logic is thinking people will do the right thing. The “our kids aren’t like that” thinking.

when I coached football (8-13 year olds) the kids would always complain about moving back 5 yards during wind sprints when someone committed a false start when I made it on 2 or 3. They’d say “but I didn’t jump, why do I have to move back?” I replied, “during games, if one person jumps, does the whole team get penalized?” After that, no complaints. You’d think people would understand that.

Youthful indiscretions also afflict the enlightened. In the 2014-2015 season, New Year's Eve fell on a Wednesday night. RPI was hosting sixth-ranked Miami of Ohio for a weekend series beginning that Friday. Did Seth Appert give the team instructions to stay home on NYE? At this point, you can skip to the end of the story, which was published in the newspaper: https://dailygazette.com/2015/01/04/104_RPIHockeySuspensions/
