RPI Engineers 2016-2017: 10 Years on

Looking at their respective schedules of remaining games/opponents it appears that Harvard has a legitimate chance to take 8th place over RPI. They have an easier path than RPI. It's going to be interesting to see what happens down the stretch.

That's three straight, Hab.

Good to see the team thinking ahead to the difficult job of replacing Selander in net. It is always a bit of a risk to reach into the ranks of Midget teams for a recruit but you can't wait too long to find a strong goalie or you will find yourself dealing with the leftovers. Rampado is with a strong program and seems to be doing well. And in 2 1/2 years maybe she'll be 2 1/2 inches taller .Last edited by hab; 01-31-2017, 02:40 PM.

You know, as I think about RPI's recruiting more carefully, it seems that some of their biggest success stories have been in Europe. Maybe not in terms of numbers, but quality. From the current team, two of their top players, Hansen and Selander, from Denmark and Sweden. And before she was injured Heidi (Hutamaki) Niskanen was shaping up to be their best ever defenceman, IMO.

I am going to have to locate the pictures from the Alumnae game over the weekend. If your daughter was there, she may have told you about a European recruit.
Edit: If she is in the 2nd picture, I won't be able to identify her even after clicking on it to enlarge it.

Originally posted by hab View PostAgree with you completely HE33. These situations are always a matter for the individual player and his/her family. I vividly remember when my daughter was playing midget hockey and I arrived at a game a few minutes late, to see all of the players and refs gathered around a player down and motionless on the ice. Fear became panic as I saw the number on the back of the jersey. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury, but ever since then I have always reacted (overreacted?) when I have seen a similar situation. As you say...I hope for the best.
Did the Alumni get a chance to mix with the current players?
Hab did your daughter enjoy her time at RPI and hockey?
