      I always enjoy reading what this blog has to say about us; thanks for letting us know about this post! Seems like a pretty fair analysis, and I don't think anyone here would complain about the predictions. We're not quite there yet, but we will be soon.

        I'll second that. The writer is very fair-minded in addition to being very knowledgeable about ECAC hockey.

          Nice to see the Bobby Farnham profile on INCH. From the games I have seen, he gives it his all every shift and has great speed. He sneaks in a few moves now and then that let you know he has some strong skills to go with that speed. With Zolnierczyk moving on I expect Farnham will be the speedster on the team, and his name will be showing up a lot more on the score sheet.

            The only concern I have about Farnham is the same I had about Harry last season- he takes a lot of stupid penalties. But if he can produce points like Harry did, I'll overlook it.

              Brendan Whittet and Brown are promoting Mark White to associate head coach, and hiring Mike Souza as an assistant.

                With the semester starting, I checked out the team's roster as posted on the team website. I don't know when it was posted but it has the incoming freshmen with the returning upperclassmen, with no omissions from the roster at then of last year. If all matriculated, 31 players!!

                    Junior Trevor Smith (25) won't be on the roster this year but will serve as the team's video guy. He's a smart kid with a good attitude.

                    Mike Borge changed from #28 to #10. Chris Zaires changed from #10 to #22.

                    The freshman forwards are Matt Harlow (9), Ryan Jacobson (18), Matt Lorito (19), Massimo Lamacchia (61) and Chris Draper (91). I'm not a big fan of numbers above 29 except for goalies. I think they attract too much attention and put too much pressure on the players wearing them. Remember how Brian Lawton was given #98 (one step below Wayne Gretzky?) as a rookie? It was definitely NOT a good idea. Let's reserve the high numbers for the Gretzkys, Lemieux and Bourques of the hockey world.

                    The freshman defensemen are Kyle Quick (4), Taki Pantziris (13) and Joey DeConcilys (24).

                    Freshman Greg Tang (5) will fill in at either defense or forward.

                    Whether there'll be thirty-one players on the opening night roster is still unclear, as, due to Title IX restrictions, each team is given a maximum number of slots.

                          Didn't Brian Ihanack have a high number? How many players can Brown carry on the roster without creating Title IX problems? practically due to lockerroom space?

                            Ihnacak was #19, I think. In the Roger Grillo era, the highest number we saw was 35, and that was for a goalie.

                            I'm not sure how the Title IX participation number is calculated. Obviously, a sport like football skews numbers, since more than 75-80 men are on the team; I don't know if it's about opportunity as much as the number that makes the team. Perhaps there is someone out there with a more specific understanding of the regulation.

                              Brian Ihnacak wore number 19 as a freshman, and then took number 18, which had been Brent Robinson's.

                              Re. Title IX
                              As far as I know, an institution can be in compliance with Title IX either by demonstrating an ongoing effort to achieve gender balance (for example, by adding new sports for women) or through "proportionality." Brown has taken the proportionality option. Thus, the total number of male and female athletes participating in the intercollegiate program has to reflect the male/female percentages in the undergraduate student body within one standard deviation. It's not proportionality by sport; the intended proportionality applies to the full intercollegiate program. Each team is given a certain number of slots with the ultimate goal of achieving proportionality for the intercollegiate program. Because football gobbles up a very large number of male slots, Brown must also offer more sports for women than for men; otherwise we would never achieve proportionality. Nevertheless I'm not a specialist in Title IX matters. Since members of the Athletics Department read this Forum, maybe one of them can correct me and/or post a more precise explanation than mine.

                                Just as parents have the last say on what is affordable for them.
