Re: RPI & Union, Home & Home, 10/26/18 & 10/27/18
I'm curious as to why RPI and Union play both their league games against each other in late October every year. For 2 schools that are 10 miles apart, I'd rather split up the 2 league games so one of them is early on, and the other in say, February. It would certainly excite both fan bases.Colgate '09

I also believe it also opens up a weekend for other games. Otherwise trying to find one game on the odd days would be impossible.

Let's also consider this: The ECAC is the one who schedules all the non-travel partner games. This year, they have 14 weeks to schedule 10 series. Let's couple into that effectively 6 weeks for non-conference games, a total of 20 weekends (not counting the exhibition week, but sometimes you fit in a game there, as you have proved). One of those 6 is only being used by the WCHA for the most part, the weekend before the Christmas break, so it's effectively 19. You guys require the 3rd weekend of November off for your finals, so we're down to 18. If we were to split up the series entirely, there really isn't any room at all, especially if you want a rest week in there.
Odd days isn't impossible, as we did it in 2009-10 (possibly something a little closer to what Rainman's looking for, albeit one of the four matches was out of chance), but it does prove difficult. RPI could easily make it possible because we still have some relationships from days of yore with the Hockey East teams and could fit in a single game (albeit it was easier when they had 7 NC games, but seeing how that's what the Ivies have there's still an avenue), not to mention UCONN helps with their needs for odd scheduling thanks to sharing an arena with the pros, which is exactly what we're doing prior to the Mayor's Cup. I don't know what sort of relationships there are on Union's side, as they really only have one single game vs. USMA. However, based on the single team, two game series setup that most teams seem to be heading towards, even in HEA, I think we're stuck with home/home for the long haul. At least the trophy game is there to spread it out.
