RPI Recruit Thread 2025-2026

With the eligibility rules the way they are now, you can probably have someone born the same year as you too

Do they allow any assisting devices on the ice during play? Crutches, wheel chairs, seeing eye dogs, etc??

 

[DrDemento]

No, I thought of it myself.

On the other hand, as I mentioned before, one of our recruits was born the same month and date as me (Chingwaru), the 4th since I started paying attention, and none of the other three were successes.

You seem to just have way too much free time on your hands! Perhaps you should think about being a volunteer greeter at Walmart

We have a picture taken way back then of Jenny (all 4'9" of her) standing next to Mauro who I believe was 6'5".

I have too much time on my hands because DC deals with snow by piling it on bike paths. DC does still allow bikes on roads, but tell that to drivers.

My error. It's Chemrouk who was born the same date and month as I was. He has more of a chance of getting to Troy.

An article about Jordan Gavin's lack of penalties. The two minutes for being selected to sit out a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty really shouldn't count.
