I guess my sarcasm probably just came across as a stupid comment.

Thanks. Someone posted that there are only 28 locker stalls. Is that true?

Yes .... a couple of players stalls and the 3rd goalie stall are going to be dismantled and rebuilt to add the extra player stall that’s needed

So I was thinking... everyone should nominate the Renew Rensselaer guys multiple times just to get back.

Re: RPI 2019 Off-Season: Where Did Everyone Go?

Now that we are starting to get an idea how the roster will appear, I’m wondering who is going to play center on this team. In recent years we’ve not had a lot of guys that played like natural centers. Ture Linden is the only one I can name out of the returnees and he’s a 3rd or 4th line guy. Ashbrook, who I think has to come, is listed by Ralph as a center. Anyone else? Perhaps Burgess, who hasn’t been a center for us but was in Fairbanks? Billy Jerry? Marrello? Both have played some center for us but it wasn’t clear that is their natural position. Who are our 1st and 2nd line centers?

Leppanen played center in juniors in Finland, and he did well when he was occasionally in the faceoff dot. I think he should be moved to center as his game and style I think would fit well at center. He could probably play on the first line too. Ashbrook has played center in every game for Lincoln, so I think he will still play center. I could see him slotting on the second line. I agree with you about Linden. I personally really liked Marrello at center last season and think he should play there full-time.

Obviously none of this is based on insider knowledge; just my personal opinion from what I've seen.

We must be working with an airline.

Also just my personal opinion, but I don't expect any freshmen on the top two lines at the start of the season.

Hayhurst is going to Michigan. We'll miss him

I’m not sure about that. A few years ago we were so short of right handed shots that we were playing lefties on their off-wing. Now 8 out of the 12 returning forwards are righties. Only Leppanen, Linden, Marrello and Lee shoot left-handed. I believe Herrman, Dubinsky, Mahshie and Beaton of the potential enrollment candidates are left shots (Ashbrook and McIsaac are RH). Particularly if Leppanen goes to center, there may be openings on the left side for freshmen.

He'll look great with an ugly helmet.

In moderation, they are useful.

I have the gut feeling that whether a player is a left or a right shot is not a prime consideration when we recruit.
