We sort of missed the Times Union's preview article about RPI Hockey about 10 days ago. Matt Graves of the Times Union says that RPI has been picked to finish fifth by the media and sixth by the coaches in the ECAC Pre-Season Poll.

If you look back at the RCNJ article from last season, you will see that this prediction is about the same expected result as last season. Nevertheless, the coaching staff and players are unanimous in their expectation of improving their finish this season. The opening game of the season will be this Saturday, October 13, 7:00pm, at Boston University.
