My wife and I were at the Boston Fairmont Copley with fellow RPI Alumni for a student-led concert. Had a chance to talk with Dr. Schmidt, RPI's new president and former Provost at MIT. We (Union) also got a new president a while back. I think you did better.

Thanks. I don't often read something from a Union fan which praises something about RPI and vice versa.

All 6 of WMU's lineup regular dmen were juniors or seniors. There is only one of those players who isn't returning, and WMU is also adding Samuel Sjolund to the lineup, who is an NHL draft pick that had to sit out last season. Really just no spot for him in the lineup.

It was nice of Coach Smith decided to hold up signing Matta until sezenack caught up with writing articles about earlier recruits. :-D

It looks like Coach Smith has done a great job mining the portal to fit our needs. He got two defensemen from NCAA tournament teams. Regula was a regular and Matta, although apparently caught up in a numbers game, was a well-regarded recruit that practiced with and was first off the defensive end of the bench for a top 10 team. He also got a forward, Brushett, that two years ago was one of the leading scorers for UM-L's NCAA tournament team (led by Owen Savory) that had the misfortune of dropping a one goal game to the eventual champion, Denver, in the first round. Add in Tinling, who although not technically a transfer because he went back to juniors, was extremely highly rated and is playing for one of the best junior clubs in Canada, and i think we've added a lot to the roster recently. Talented and with winning pedigrees. Sounds good to me.

If those guys plus the over-agers, Payant (speed) and McNeill (grit), join Hotson (arguably the best of all) as our class, we have the potential to go far in our league. All we would need then is freshman year Jack Watson to return. I might be out a little too far over my skis, but I'm optimistic.

Edit: Oops. I forgot about the most recent junior recruit, Sullivan. Seems very talented but young. Frankly, I don't know where he fits in the equation. Still optimistic, just confused.
