I vote for # 3.

I really hope that our first regular season thread will focus more on hockey than on bashing RPI's president.

This afternoon was the party for season ticket holders to pick up their tickets at HFH and meet the players and coaches. I was unable to attend. Did anyone make it there and if so, what happened?

This afternoon was the party for season ticket holders to pick up their tickets at HFH and meet the players and coaches. I was unable to attend. Did anyone make it there and if so, what happened?

I attended. Norris Peterson opened the program by welcoming folks and briefly discussing housekeeping changes to HFH --ticket sales (online /single game / can now select sears)

Then McElroy spoke briefly. Didn't say much of substance. No mention of any HFH renovations that he touted at past events.

Smith then spoke. He briefly addressed the departures and number of additions. He acknowledged that the changes come with expectations and that in their recruiting they've sought out players who understand RPIs hockey history and the mission to bring it back to prominence. Fans expect and deserve a competitive program, etc. Family, effort and attitude noted as traits of recruits. No assistant coaches were present. Attendee asked re: Nolan Graham and Smith related he is continuing his recovery in BC and that they remain in contact with him.

Players then introduced themselves one by one. Smith took some questions (scheduling, the front loading of Union series, etc). Smith described the status of the schedue as " a mess" when he arrived.

A few attendees asked questions which were answered by some players --Polino, Moore, Ferner. Questions revolved around what recruits saw that led them to RPI (Ferner) and Moore and Polino discussed the team building and Moore discussed what the seniors want to accomplish.

That's about all I can recall. I'm sure I've left out something.

I was shocked on Monday when I called, that they gave me the opportunity choose a seat. Of course, I did not have a seating chart with me.

They also had retained my address from the past. Thankfully, they did not keep my credit card number.

I vote for #4 also.

Given there always seems to be an issue with the player when they're put in the thread title, perhaps it will extend to Administration.

So long as she doesn't pull another dumb stunt, you'll get your wish. And hopefully we actually have something to talk about, because last year wasn't too exciting of a discussion.

I might as well ask again about suggestions for a thread title for this season's first thread. Frjoe suggested a 6 flags title which I liked, but we have used it before.

A Program Renewed?

(hey why not try the Renew Rensselaer line)

According to the e-mail forum, there are still no captains.

Correct. I neglected to mention --that question was asked at ticket party. Smiths answer was Belicheckian ..." we're focused on UPEI"

I will say that the seniors who quickly stepped up to address the audience were Polino and Meirs Moore....certainly possibilities for A's / C's I would imagine
