Beast of the East

Another season, another difficult October, another slew of injuries to start the season.

Yup.

The men get their season underway tonight in Lowell as they take on the two-time Hockey East finalists from UML - and they'll be missing plenty of names. Miller. Wood. Rodriguez. Tironese. All out nursing injuries. Freshman defenseman Meirs Moore makes his RPI debut tonight... as a forward.

And it doesn't get any easier after they come home - just #1 Boston College on Sunday afternoon. Woof.

For the women, they also hit the road for the first time this season, taking on RIT in a pair of games in Rochester - can they build on a halfway decent showing against North Dakota last weekend? We'll find out.

In the meantime, here's something bouncy to get you going for a weekend full of hockey.
