Still no word from UVM on the potential Moser hire and he's still got RPI listed on his Twitter feed... anyone's guess what our staff will look like at this point.

No insider knowledge, just pure speculation, but I'd keep an eye out for David Wilkie for the assistant opening. 123-78-24 record over 4 seasons. Big culture guy who holds players to high standard, outstanding hockey IQ, great at in-game adjustments. Seems like someone DS would want. Former NHL player too even though that doesn't have to do with coaching.

Got that info from this post on FYC from one of his former assistants at Omaha. The results also speak for themselves http://finishyourcheck.com/topic/14...ching-change/?do=findComment&comment=14907390

Zach Dubinsky helped recruit an AC also? ;-)

This landed in ye olde in box today.... apparently I've been demoted from a supporter to some guy " who's been around....." Can't make it up ! HA
I 'm tempted to offer some of my long rifles and rounds for some team-building target practice, but I'm sure SAJ would frown upon that !


As someone who has been around RPI Hockey I am reaching out to you today to share with you a team building activity we have planned for this August. We plan to take the team on a camping trip to Lake Placid, NY from August 16 -18.

This email is a request for camping supplies such as tents and other items our group of 35 could easily pack into our team bus.

We will be doing many things in Lake Placid such as community service and touring the arena where the ECAC championship is played.

​

Please email me by replying to this email if you have tents or other camping supplies that our program could borrow. We would return these as soon as we return.

The hockey season is coming fast

​

Thanks in advance,

Dave Smith
Head Coach

Maybe DS should reconsider and have the retreat at Houston FH for the returnees to get reacquainted and the new players get introduced!!!! But, of course that would require the doors to be open and ice in place!!

Surely, Shirley could make this happen !!

if they don’t play their way there, at least they can say they were the first team to go to Lake Placid this year

 

[Ralph Baer]

I just noticed that RPI alum and occasional poster here Tyler Hinman won the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament in April. It was conducted virtually this year. He last won in 2009, although he had 4 second-place and 2 third-place finishes since then.

This is interesting. The women’s team was planning and fundraising to do this prior to the 2020 season. And then everything stopped and we haven’t heard a thing about it since.
We were hoping they would do it this summer. But apparently we’re not.

Nice to hear from you again after a prolonged absence lasting since about the time you drove here to rescue your daughter from living under the rule of Ms. Wiggins and Mr. Tugball.

None the less, have always been curious whether you were ever refunded any of the prepaid room and board fees or not.
