RPI 2017 Off-Season (Part II): Mr. Smith Goes to Troy

[jericho]

Ever since the hostile takeover, the student union won't get it back because of NCAA rules. I can't wait to read jericho's response to the catwalk.

I miss the catwalk, although my fear of heights doesn't. Great place to watch and call a game from. The problem with where we are now is 1) it's too small, at least for me. Should have taken out another row of seats and it would have been perfect. 2) half the ice becomes invisible because of the scoreboard.

Overall, we are closer to the "atmosphere" of the game (as opposed to the Earth's atmosphere ) and I do believe it leads to better on-air excitement.

Jared Wilson will indeed be in Calgary’s Dev. Camp. Anaheim’s camp ends July 2 & Calgary’s begins July 4..... https://www.nhl.com/flames/news/flam...edule/c-888053

Does that mean he is going to two of them or is Anaheim in error?

Not unusual for some players to attend 2 camps. All I know is he’s on both Rosters.

Add: return of the band on the east end of the HFH, the WRPI announcers on the catwalk, Puckman on the uniforms, and financial responsibility by the RPI administration (but not the return of all of the poles blocking views from allover).

NCAA rules prohibit bands from being positioned behind the goal?

Has the NCAA informed Princeton about this?

Today is 1 July 2017. There are 91 days (13 weeks) until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 30 September 2017 for the start of next season.

The "hostile takeover" is clearly in reference to the financial responsibility by the RPI administration. Good try, though.

A fight between free agent signee left wing Zach Saar (Team White) and college invite defenseman Jared Wilson (Team Black) highlighted the second half. Normally you don't see fights during these scrimmages, but this one showcased two guys with considerable size - Saar (6-4, 236) and Wilson (6-3, 200)..........

Last thing we need is Willy blowing a rotator cuff in a meaningless fight at a Dev Camp...we've been through that before. Hope he (and Burgess) return to Troy unscathed.
