Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostSorry to hear that. Just curious, is present-day RPI itself regarded as female-friendly?

Originally posted by johnk View PostSo sick of hearing this crap, like the kids at the other programs in the ECAC are not first rate. This program has been driven into the "who cares about RPI hockey stage". Clarkson and St Lawrence weekend draws less than 6,000 fans. Just look at the amount of posters gone from here. Some could say its because of a certain poster but I'm not buying it. The hockey we are witnessing stinks regardless of the integrity and class of the student athletes on this team. There used to be a point in time where I would not miss an RPI game and now I'm happy to get there when there is nothing better to do. We were 14 season ticket holders from the late 70's down to none for this current season.
Personally, this is just the kind of crap I enjoy. Great kids and great families make for a great community.
And rooting for RPI doesn't end at graduation. I take great pride in the players that make it to the next level, whether it be the AHL or the NHL, I still get joy in following those players.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostWhile I too am happy that the kids mainly appear to be great kids and a credit to the university, in my opinion that alone only makes sense in the D-III sports. In hockey performance on the ice is also critical. I don't think that what your daughter did should be compared to either the men's or women's hockey teams.Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

Originally posted by engineerhockeyfan View PostI wasn't comparing anything. You asked about the treatment of female students at RPI. I was just trying to give you some insight as to what some of them go through.

Originally posted by Ralph Baer View PostThat wasn't the post which I replied to. I appreciate your comments about your daughter's experience. That doesn't have any connection as far as I can see with what we should expect from the hockey program.

Originally posted by engineerhockeyfan View PostThanks for that post, as fans, we forget that these guys are human and they feel the losses at least as much as we do.
Over the years I have had the opportunity to talk with some of the players, coaches and even parents, and I have yet to meet anyone connected to the program who wasn't first rate.
The wins and losses may not show it, but we have a first rate program.
We do NOT have that right now. I'm sure the young men on the team are outstanding individuals. No different than those that have represented the program in the last 35 years I have followed, and in the time preceding that.
As Ralph indicated earlier, RPI competes in ice hockey at the Division 1 level, where expectations are the highest. Division 1 demands "first rate" people and players. Being one or the other is simply not acceptable.
The current performance of the team, while not an indictment of any one player, is unacceptable.Class of '93

Honestly, right now I'm scared. This feels different. I look at teams like Lake Superior State and wonder if we are going down that path. How these bad seasons are eroding our fan base and our recruiting. I truly wonder if we have an administration committed to turn this around or if we are witnessing the demise of a hockey culture that has stood on its own historical foundation for the past few decades.
