Some legit size here RB. Melanson, 6’ 170-75.....Praps,6’1 180-85....Jared Wilson, 6' 2& a-half maybe 3" 190....Lou Nanne 6’ (maybe a shade under) 175-80....Bradley Bell 6’ (maybe a shade under) 180-85, he’s got the look though. You can just tell by looking at some and he’s got it. Kenny G, oh man, kids' a wall, 6’ maybe 1/2" 205-10 THICK!....Viktor Liljegren a legit 6’3 (maybe a shade over) 200. Guesstimates of course but standing next to them gave me a good indication. BTW, it’s possible Milos has grown an inch. While I was talking with him I couldn’t help but notice that.

thanks to WAP for the reminder, Sam Goodman was recognized by SA this evening as being an official part of the Team. If you recall, Sam was one of the players from last year’s Roster photo many of us couldn’t identify. He is a goalie.

Re: RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

Concur with everything Turk said especially Bell he does have that look the only other thing of note was Riley Bourbonnais looks like he has lost some weight and is in excellent condition I've always liked the kid from his prep days could be a factor this year.
 
Re: RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

Just wanted to say that it is great to have some RPI hockey news to discuss in stead of all that drivel.
53 days sounds like a long time to wait, but the older I get, the faster it goes.
Looking forward to see how all the freshmen pan out.
Sounds like another good group of kids.
Thanks for the information Turk.

Welcome back!
 
Re: RPI Offseason Thread: Six Languages of Drivel

I’ll share this quick tid-bit; I asked him, “why RPI”? Melanson told me that when he was 15 (2010-11) he and family were in the area and decided to visit HFH during an RPI game, who were playing that Rt.7 team. That was the Bailen OT winner (it was not a recruiting visit BTW). Said he fell in love with the excitement created by the fans.....talked it over with family and on 1/28/11 committed to program. Next night was BRF vs Yale, the 5-2 win....and he knew this was where he wanted to go.

Thanks for the story. We probably have also lost potential recruits when the opposite result has occurred. :(

This is starting to look like an encouraging number :). Time to start paying attention. And even more significant (for me, if nobody else) only 41 days until the women Engineers hit the ice against Ottawa Jr. Senators.
