    No matter what happens with the current team or the recruits, this year is going to be "like a box of chocolates".
    It won't mean that I will root any less for the team that we put on the ice.

      I hope not ... he's not ready. In 23 USHL games he only had 5 pts. He's only played 56 games of junior hockey. He needs at least another year of Junior hockey.

              Living as far as I do from the Capital District, I hadn't realized that Albany's AHL franchise was about to go out of existence, but apparently, so it has.

              Here's a link to an article on the subject (including a brief mention of the RPI Field House) by the always-readable Stan Fischler.

                As a lifetime Capital District resident, yes it is true. A very well written article by Mr. Fischler. What he didn't mention in regards to the HFH was that they hosted the NY Islanders franchise (called the Capital District Islanders) for two years prior to the move to Albany.

                  Especially considering that NY Islanders great, Butch Goring, coached the CD Islanders..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capita...rict_Islanders

                    Today is 8 May 2017. There are 146 days until RPI's next game.


                    This is based upon 1 October 2017 for the start of next season.

                        Interesting. I am somewhat surprised about AR since he was in a couple of the training videos with Coach Smith. Bell never seemed to find a regular spot in the lineup and his departure will open up a roster spot for a recruit.

                          So we currently have the following forwards:
                          Liljegren, Tironese, J. Ohrvall, Wiffen, Hayhurst, Polino, Marrello, Reisinger, Rappaport, Burgess, E. Ohrvall, Payne, Stout, and Jerry. That's just 14 and we don't know if Burgess is fit to play and if Rappaport has D-I talent.

                              If the "big" part refers to weight, then there have been many at more than 190 lb. Assuming that the 6'4" is real, the answer is probably Kevin Beauregard. I don't remember if he did much screening.

                                That's not ideal to say the least.
