    I got to RPI soon after Ned left-but the stories were still fresh. I am not sure if he took his same style to Cornell or not but I would imagine he did.

      From the stories I've heard, if he didn't then a variety of strange coincidences took place.

      (Though to be honest I have heard stories of such hijinks about every famous Olde Tyme Hockey coach except maybe Tim Taylor who as we know shat marble.)

            For the record, Princeton's basketball team is scheduled to play a home game against Fairleigh Ridiculous at 7 PM that evening.

            Though the idea of RPI scheduling its hockey game at 4 PM to accommodate Princeton fans who want to listen to the hockey game on the radio before going to the basketball game stretches the bounds of credibility a bit.

              The cancer, stretching the bounds of credibility? Get outta town.
              Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

                That's tempting to go in the signature.

                  It all starts with the goaltending.

                    There were stories of overhead lights suddenly not working so well over the end where an opposing goalie spent two periods. And of course the HFH doors being open at the stage end when the RPI team defended that goal so they could skate forward with a slight wind at their backs. True or not-they do make for some interesting stories.

                      The open-doors-at-the-stage-end idea may explain why, during the Harkness era, RPI defended at the stage end in the first and third periods of each game.

                      It wasn't until the late '60's, when Tom Nichol complained that he was being distracted by the noise being made by the band that was on the stage behind him two periods a game, that Garry Kearns decided to switch things around, figuring that having the other team's goalie distracted by the band two periods a game was better than having the wind at RPI's back.

                      Of course, in those days there were screens, not glass, atop the boards, and the screens didn't provide much insulation from the noise. It's questionable whether the band continued to be as much of a distraction after glass was put in, and maybe even more questionable whether they constitute as much of a distraction now that they are up in the stands, rather than on the stage that doesn't exist anymore.

                        I'm guessing that happens at quite a few rinks even today. The old home ice advantage!

                          Back in the sixties, RPI had open skating sessions some evenings at the HFH(I went every chance i could get)-virtually everyone on the ice skated around in a counter clockwise direction. There were times that those doors wer open and IIRC it did seem like skating away from the stage felt aliitle like going downhill and coming back the other side was bit more of an uphill sensation.

                            Apparently we make it very hard to hear on the opposing bench.
