RPI & Union @ Dartmouth & Harvard (11/9 & 11/10)

Re: RPI & Union @ Dartmouth & Harvard (11/9 & 11/10)

I do think that we will indeed only travel with two gaolies, and Kasdorf is the most likley to be the odd-man out. On the other hand, I expect him to get a start against Mercyhurst, and after that, he would be on the travel roster, if he outperforms either of the other two.

Good point. One other thing about Merriam is, as much as he scares the ba-geez-es (yes I made up that word) out of me when he's in net, especially when he goes to an area where the colour of the ice is white or red, the D corps need to be able to back him up, especially at this level. Curadi is a terrific defender, and the Union floodgates opened when we lost our second best penalty killer on the team (only to the goaltender, who is automatically your best PKer). It would not surprise me if, barring any additional action taken by the league, one of the extras that comes along is Curadi so that we have him for Harvard.

I don't know if I've seen incredible brilliance from Merriam the way I've seen it from York and Diebold, but he's no slouch in net. He can hold the fort.

If this is true, and I know we will really not know until Friday, then why did all three dress for the Union game Sat?

You are allowed to bring 23 on a roadtrip and since there was no concern of having players for a second game, why not take along all three goalies? That's my read.

I agree with FD08 that one of the extra spots next weekend will be used by Curadi.

Where is it in writing about only being able to bring 23? I cannot find it anywhere and the NCAA Rules say they have no limit on how many can travel but that you can only dress 18 skaters and up to 3 goalies as WS said earlier. It goes on to say some conferences have their own rules on it but I cannot find anything on the ECAC site.

It's definitely not a national rule; it's entirely a league rule. Of course, ECACHL doesn't post their rules, and we went through this when Appert was suspended after Hicks Screwjob II.
