Still no second AC unless Marc Cavosie is now full time. I assume that is he on the left.

At least he has good playing experience. The women’s game needs more men and women coaches with a solid playing backgrounds, real “hockey” people

Does RPI have any alumnae who are coaches?

I thought alumnae was singular female, and "alumni" was the only plural version?

Wrong. For females alumna is the singular and alumnae is the plural.

For males it's alumnus and alumni.

Alumni is also used for both genders together. Many people will just use alum and alums to avoid the whole complicated mess.

Correct.

I can still hear my mother saying "That's the problem with American schools. They don't require eight years of Latin."

As you know, I use my actual name as a username here. That is because I was quite naïve about 20 years ago. When I joined the Clarkson and Cornell boards, I decided to use Ursaminor, the name of the constellation which I thought meant little bear, and it would refer to my height and my name. Although I should have known that Ursa is a female bear and Ursus a male bear, by comparing to Alumna and Alumnus, it did not cross my mind. It's real hard to tell male from female from about a half-dozen stars. Someone on the Cornell board informed me and it was changed. It was finally also changed on the Clarkson board quite recently.

Addendum: Someone else once told me that Minor actually means lesser in importance as opposed to small.

Don't worry, you're never going to be lesser in importance to us, Ralph!

I think this may the first time that the Engineers have recruited someone who made the Canadian or US U-18 teams.

I think that you are correct. Considering that she is probably going to replace Selander, we may need someone at that level.

Hopefully, she is on that level. Does seem to be on the small side of things for a goalie.

Re: RPI Engineers 2017-2018

FWIW, the 2nd game is going on now https://hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/team-.../series-vs-usa/stats/game-summary?gameid=2297. Rampado is not in goal and she wasn't in the first game either. https://hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/team-.../series-vs-usa/stats/game-summary?gameid=2297

Yes, time will tell. Size is important for a goalie, but not everything. Her record in the development camp games was not great. It will be VERY difficult to replace Selander, but I am pretty happy with this recruit, and optimistic about what she will bring to the team. But RPI really needs to find a way to recruit skaters who have the potential to make the U-18 teams. That is what turned around the Cornell and Colgate teams.

Re: RPI Engineers 2017-2018

Since the other two goalies played the first two games for Team Canada U18, Rampado could play today (or maybe not). The game will be at 3 PM EDT according to this https://teamusa.usahockey.com/news_article/show/942797. There is a link there to a Hockey Canada live stream. I am going to miss all but perhaps the first period.

Amanda Rampado is indeed in goal. Hopefully someone is watching and will report as I am going out in a few minutes, and anyway probably because the laptop which I use when traveling has MS Vista on it, the video doesn't seem to be working. It should show up here.
