Re: RPI 2017 Off-Season: We March 4th into the Future
From the stuff I saw on TV tonight from Dr. McElroy, it sounds like Coach Appert had no chance of keeping his job regardless of finish this year. Sad to see him go, but he will land on his feet somewhere when he is ready. I am a UAlbany alum and saw first hand what Dr. McElroy can do in the AD role and yes, RPI isnt a D1 school and he even admitted he has had to learn hockey, he will be able to make some moves to help RPI Hockey get back to where it belongs. Let the speculations begin!!!
Also can someone check on AspyDad for me. He can't be taking todays events very well.Last edited by fishcore12; 03-06-2017, 07:29 PM.Loyality means sticking with a thing in good and bad times. Not willing to do that, stay home, I got this.

Also from one of our radio announcers...
Wishing all the best to @SethAppert. If he didn't welcome me in when I first started out in radio, I would not be where I am today.

Have been everywhere from DC to Maine, RI to Buffalo and Ottawa to Philly and have never met, or even heard of, one player in the past 8-10 years who aspired to play at RPI. Therefore, Ben Barr would be an excellent choice, simply because he knows the players and the program!!! Ran into SA more at the airport in Detroit, than i ever did at any rinks in New England and throughout the northeast.
Two years ago SA had to refund a large portion of his High School Exposure Camp tuition because only 13 kids showed up! How embarrassing for the program that players from the region and surrounding areas weren't interested enough in RPI to attend his camp and have a chance to interact with SA and his coaches!!!

Originally posted by vicious View PostVery true. Local stations and Times Union seem to care only about hoops and now lax. TU doesn't even bother to cover road games anymore while anything Siena/UAlbany gets pages and pages of coverage. Wish Beattie and Union SID would get on local media's case about it. Both programs deserve a lot more ink than they've gotten in recent years.Loyality means sticking with a thing in good and bad times. Not willing to do that, stay home, I got this.
