An early look at 2019-2020

We have captains.

And a new director of hockey operations as well.

Huh.  That resume has "successor" written all over it.  But where?  Not D-1 anyway.

Love that he was a pp specialist.  Moar, plz.

WTF is a Director of Hockey Operations?  Chief Scout?

Much more mundane. He deals with travel and game films.

They're probably in Hanover, so nobody reads what they say anyway.

A lot of these one horse towns no longer have legitimate sports sections.  Troy and Schenectady, for example.  Other reasons?

I assumed it was the birth and death of ezines.

Talarico ran the penalty-killing unit,

Is that the part of our special teams we needed to improve?

True. I would hope whoever writes for the Albany paper follows Union and RPI Hockey pretty closely in that the locals would care more about that than, say, the arena football league team, but I have no idea. Maybe Siena Basketball?

With regard to the Albany TU sports section,  I can attest it exists and occasionally has decent college hockey coverage.  I'm on no way an expert regarding their staff as I prefer watching the games to reading about them.
