  • Re: RPI Engineers 2018-2019

    This is a one hour interview, so you have to be a huge fan of RPI hockey and of Lovisa Selander to enjoy it, but I thought it was great! Pisacano does a great job as an interviewer. What I liked most about the interview is that it provided a real insight into what it is like to be a D1 athlete while pursuing a demanding academic program, and also insights into how RPI attracts top talent like Selander: as often as not it is the athlete that identifies the school as the right fit and reaches out. That was the case when my daughter chose RPI as well. But I'm not sure how RPI can make that happen more often. It will always be tough to compete with Minnesota etc in just recruiting on hockey talent alone. How do we attract more Selanders?

      I missed this a couple of weeks ago.





      According to Neutral Zone, Elite Prospects, and https://collegecommitments.com/Commi...x?x7cq9=FEMALE she is our first 2022 recruit. She is currently 15 years old.

      Elite Prospects page https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe...9/sophia-jones

      This is what will appear when I next post the recruits list unless I find more info:
      Code:
       6 Sophia Jones          D 05/02/19 Connecticut Polar Bears 16U      2022  09/23/03 5'03" 135 Westfield, MA     3.50
       6                                  Williston Northampton School
      Edit: Neutral Zone prep page https://www.neutralzone.net/prep-wom...hia-jones-451/.
      Interesting that she committed to us despite the fact that an assistant coach at Williston Northampton is Alex Tancrell-Fontaine, a former Union player and sister of former RPI men's recruit Gunnarwolfe Fontaine.

        Excellent interview indeed. Although Ena Nystrom was not mentioned by name, it was interesting to learn that LS was involved in attracting her to RPI.

          Thank you for the awesome review and for posting it to this forum. Selander was a phenomenal guest to have on the show and is the reason that the interview was an hour long. If you do not have time to listen to the entire show you can check out the comments below the podcast and get a timestamp for when different topics are covered throughout the interview. It may make it more enjoyable to only listen to the parts you find interesting. I will be posting a new RPI Athletics podcast about once every 2 weeks. Not every interview is with a hockey player, but they are all very entertaining, so please tune in.

              New D recruit for 2020 according to Neutral Zone: Alyssa Denney. I found her mentioned nowhere else connected to RPI although a Google search claims it is mentioned on her Instagram account.

              PWHL page https://pwhl3.stats.pointstreak.com/...seasonid=19107 change https to http
              Elite Hockey https://www.eliteprospects.com/playe.../alyssa-denney

              The following will eventually appear on the recruit list:
              Code:
              88 Alyssa Denney         D xx/xx/19 Toronto Aeros (PWHL)             2020  02/24/01 5'04" 135 Keswick, ON       3.50
              NZ lists her at 5'6" 141 lb

                      I see Max Itagaki’s sister plays for RIT.
                      Brandon Pirri: Turk would give it to Jagr. That's awesome! Jagr's untouchable. And he would give it to Jagr.

                        I noticed that also, and I have the vague notion that I have seen it before.

                        I should also add that Claudia Black was a teammate of Sabrina Repaci in 2015-16.

                          That's a huge class - ten players!

                            Claudia Black has been removed from that article. Also the tweet announcing her has been deleted. Perhaps it is because she has not gotten through admissions yet as she is not in the online directory.

                              Grad transfers don’t sign LoIs or traditional scholarship papers. They sign financial aid agreements. They are binding on the school but not the player. UConn announced a football grad transfer from Columbia and then three months later the guy decided to go to Tulane instead. Perhaps Black hasn’t finished her paperwork or perhaps she changed her mind. Either way, I doubt it will have a huge impact on our season.
