Opponent News 19-20

[marty]

So, I was beginning to write up my TBRW Predictions for 2019-20 and in doing the Returning Awardees I noticed that every one of the 9 ECAC Awardees (All-ECAC, POTY, ROTY) has either graduated or signed except for Morgan Barron, Harvard ROTY D Casey Dornbach, and Quinnipiac All-ECAC D Chase Priskie.  

Just to make sure, I googled Priskie.

He signed yesterday.

are you sure he didn't graduate?

Pirskie, listed at 5-11 and 192 pounds, finished with 116 career points (39 goals, 77 assists) in 154 collegiate games in four seasons and served as Quinnipiac's captain in the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons.

Priskie was a senior last year

Yes,  but did he graduate?

That I do not know, which is why I said only that he was a senior last year.

I was kidding... but the graduation hurdle at Q is likely a bit lower than for the ECAC as a whole so my money says he made it.

I believe it involves two fingers placed firmly on the inner wrist or just below the jaw line.

Looks like team 61 is just a matter of time.

Chicago Tribune picks up the story

Nationally, Illinois produces the fourth-most college hockey players behind Minnesota, Michigan and Massachusetts, but it is the only state among that group without a Division I program.

That seems... really hard to believe. New York?  Wisconsin?

How many college hockey players have you seen from NYC? Upstate always has a few, but if I remember correctly, the Chicago area does a lot.

Tons of good players from Long Island

Heresy perhaps, but is there a site which rates coaching staffs or coaches of D-1 ECAC men's hockey teams, something beyond W-L? Yeah, it would be quite subjective, just like rating hockey players.

Since sports ahem "journalism" is Access Journalism I doubt anybody in media would risk doing that.  The relationship between sports media and the coaches, SIDs, and ADs is one of deep and continuous fellatio.

What a sexist comment!

There are female ADs and coaches (probably). ::banana::

Thanks.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates that.

RPI plays Brock University this weekend. I thought that some posters might find this Rensselaer-Brock history interesting. I do wonder what RPI's coach who is Canadian and the Canadian players will think.

He (Van Rensselaer) labored under several handicaps, notably the fact that some of the regular army officers under his command...simply refused to cooperate with him. Even worse, when the initial attack faltered and the commander tried to send reinforcements, many of the militia troops under his command refused to obey... based on the ground that the Constitution only required them to defend the territory within the boundaries of the United States, not to cross the boundary and take action on the other side.

Perhaps this explains oft missing-in-action offense of the Engineers.::bolt::
