    that would be very lame. I dont know much about Munson though. I loved the energy and direction Destler took with the school

      Atlantic Hockey teams are not likely to be nationally relevant.

        Not sure how to feel about that. One the one hand, downgrading is generally a bad sign. On the other hand, maybe we get less depressing results in the win column. Maybe.

          Well, we'd definitely get the change in coaching staff wanted by some. No way Wilson would stick around if we moved back to D3, that would be a slap in the face to him and the whole program.

            I think it would be a HUGE mistake to drop back to DIII in hockey. It would be a MAJOR step backwards and I'm pretty sure some people would stop giving to RIT if that happened.

                May I ask where all this DIII talk even came from? It's a very disturbing topic.

                  It stemmed from comparing Munson to Destler. Munson is interested in improving other sports where Destler was consistantly at the hockey games. Considering that Simone had to be dragged kicking and screaming to DI, I would be shocked if this ever happened.

                  Also, I think it's from frustration of 2 straight seasons of losing in the playoffs to the last place team in the league.

                    Agreed. Even I'm not for taking that drastic of a step, and I'm a person who'd be ok with cutting our entire roster and giving the club team a shot at this point. :P

                      It's not even a topic worth the time and energy it takes to type this. It will not be happening any generation soon. As Russell alluded to, the GPC is pretty much a monument to DI commitment.
                      Can't we all just get along?
                      Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

                        I can't give away specific sources, but Spiotti literally walked out of a meeting in which Munson mentioned his interest in moving the program back to D3.

                        Do I think it would get past the Board? Probably not. But I do think that it's at least feasible he'll try..and if not, it at least signals very clearly he's not going to be interested in committing anything to significantly advancing the program from where it is today.

                          I love RIT hockey, and its a source of pride as a student and alumni but I'm not paying for club section season tickets for a D3 team. While there is still work to do on student attendance to games interest in the local community has definitely grown quite a bit. Anyone I know that has an interest in hockey and/or local sports teams will usually chat to me about the team with at least some passing knowledge. I can't say I ever ran into anyone that cares about Naz's D3 program.

                          Crosstown rivalry games against Naz would be cool though, would love to invade the Burgerplex with orange and black...

                            For those of you jonesing over the lack of RIT hockey now that their season has ended, I did something last Saturday night that I found quite enjoyable. I headed over to the ECHL web site, selected the Colorado Eagles and listened to a live broadcast of the Eagles vs the Allen Americans. Hearing Matt Garbowsky’s name along with Chase Norrish was pretty cool. Chase held his own and the announcers found themselves praising the rookie defenseman especially after he delivered a crushing check sending the home crowd into a frenzy. Plus the Eagles play more than just Friday and Saturday nights. I intend to listen to them through the end of their season.

                              That would be a terrible mistake. He might as well kill hockey if that happens. I would seriously consider not going to as many games if they do that.

                                I’d probably cancel my Army season tickets and use the extra Saturday’s to catch games from the ECAC.
