Outstanding achievement by all on that list. Makes me proud to be a fan of ECAC hockey. Well done.

Agreed. How many others figured out who the four members of the team who are not listed are? (I won't list their names.)

I figured out one of them easily. I'm still working through the others.

OK, I got them all, but had to cheat on the only upperclassman.

Just adding dates to my calendar and I noticed that the Union game on 11/2 isn't pegged as Black Friday (though Freakout!, Whiteout, and Senior Night are all marked). Wonder if they're considering making Mercyhurst on 11/16 Black Friday?

It's now listed as Black Friday http://rpiathletics.com/schedule.asp...y2&path=hockey.

Chalk it up to the schedule being posted on a Monday morning. When the schedule was first posted, all of the October games were listed as being in August!

For those that don't normally vote in polls, FS23 has posted one about "what program do you follow?" you can vote for Rensselaer here:

http://board.uscho.com/showthread.ph...theastern-Yale


He is running the poll in conjuction with his "Program Mt.Rushmore" thread:

http://board.uscho.com/showthread.ph...78#post5460478


for which the RPI nominees currently are:

Ned Harkness, George Servinis, Frank Chiarelli, Mike Addesa, Adam Oates, Pres. Houston, Darren Puppa, Joe Juneau



It seems like the mountaintop is getting a bit crowded with a list that long....if we were forced to be really selective, who would be the "essential" four or five we had to include?

The poll to vote on the choices is now up. http://board.uscho.com/showthread.ph...ore-Rensselaer

Don't tire of them at all. There is a large collection on the RPI website http://rpiathletics.com/sports/2012/...626122116.aspx.

I have heard some rumors Oates maybe gay, has anyone else heard these rumors? Having family members who are it does not matter to me if he is I am just curious if it is true. Also curious if it is true what it might do to his coaching career should it become public knowledge. Especially since the majority of people seem to have an issue with it.

Not that there is anything wrong with that but ... this was a rumor related to the breakup of his marriage when he was on the B's. It was debunked back in the 90's.

Please come back if you hear news of anything that wasn't disproved in the last century...

Today is 28 June 2012. There are 100 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 6 October for the start of next season.

That is the day that an exhibition game is supposedly scheduled.

They sent us home early. Only two pools were needed. The key is to get jury duty before a Holiday. I had it once the day before Labor Day or Memorial Day and no pools were needed at all.

OTOH, the Fed Court will probably call me in a week.
