I'll agree with you that his decommitment was certainly not graceful. Some things require a major act of diplomacy in order to make them minimally palatable. We should know more by the end of this week. USHR, if you subscribe, will probably have a lot to say on the subject. The author was incensed about the way the family/boys handled their end of it.
Thanks, Ryecheers. I don't subscribe to USHR, but I hope someone who does will be able to provide us with a summary.

While focusing on the shenangigans of the Roy family and the Northeastern athletic department, we've neglected talking about the positives in the Brown hockey program. One of them is rising sophomore Ryan Jacobsen. Here's a link to an interesting story on Jacobsen in Inside College Hockey:

Jacobsen plays with heart and dedication. He appears to love the opportunity to play and to get an excellent education at Brown.
Can't wait to see his, Lorito's, and Lamacchia's improvements this year. Overlooked in the Roy saga is the fact that we still have some great young and exciting offensive talent. Plus, if there's any NHL lockout, we can bet on some bigger crowds and more focus on the college game in the hockey community, which would be a silver lining in that dark, stormy cloud.

That's great! Will be checking it out. It will be nice to have one of us doing the blog. I hope you get lots of support and story ideas. Good luck with it.
I've decided to collaborate with this project, and start a Brown hockey blog. I just got it up and running, so there's just a "Welcome" post up right now, but I just wanted to let the regulars on this thread know that I'll be posting a lot during the regular season this year, and will probably do some previews and other content in the next couple months. I'm super excited, as this project will provide a new spark to what is already my favorite time of the year- hockey season. I'd love any feedback you be willing to share once I get the ball rolling. Here is the link:
My intent is to provide a place for all of us to discuss Brown hockey, not just for me to write about it, so I'm hoping you guys will check the blog every now and then and participate. I'll post links here occasionally as well.
Excellent news. Look forward to it! Thanks, kdiff77!

Has anyone seen any official announcement by Northeastern regarding the Roys? Incidentally, on the Media Guide for the Canada-Russia junior series, Kevin Roy was listed as "inscrit à Brown University."

Thanks for the support, Euler and Darth!
I've begun posting a class-by-class assessment of the 2012-2013 roster. Yesterday I reviewed the incoming freshman class, while today, I posted an analysis of the sophomores. The juniors and seniors will follow accordingly.
Re: Brown Hockey 2012-2013:Climbing the ECAC Ladder
Great job, Kdiff. No sense talking about Roy anymore. It's time to move on and picture Brown fans sitting at the Lake Placid Brewery pregaming next March.
