      I'm not sure in what universe this makes any sense, but I guess if I want to make my annual pilgrimage to the RPI-Princeton game, I'd better figure on making it on a Thursday.
      To be fair, we did ask Harvard and Dartmouth to reschedule to make room for the first Mayor's Cup. And it wasn't a Beanpot weekend, either.

      As much as these special events will stray from the uniformity of our league's schedule, they give a unique opportunity to promote the league (I assume on a national stage this time, although early instances of Red Hot Hockey did not get national TV) and generate revenue for its members.

        Welcome to RPI, where we berate fans for having mere optimism.
        Keep an open mind. Just don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

          The men's team finally has a twitter feed (@RPI_Hockey), and you can also follow them on snapchat at the same name.

              On the bright side. The attendance for Princeton games in general can be rather meager. The RPI game is almost always a near sell out. With the game being held on a Thursday, you can expect lots of the season ticket holders who have gobbled up most of the seats between the blue lines to be no shows. There should be ample opportunity to buy a ticket and sort of upgrade between periods to better locations. It would even be nicer if this game was held at 4PM since several of the local establishments have special menu items and prices for Thursday dinners and are far less crowded. Hopefully the construction around their indoor parking for Baker Rink is nearing completion (it has only been going on for about 7 years) which would make getting in and out for the game much easier.

                If you think that's why you get berated, you are dead wrong. Which is normal, of course.

                  I just had a thought, is there anywhere that lists the results (or even just dates) of all RPI's nationally televised games?

                    While I was up @ Lake Placid this week watching the WJR Evaluation Camp I was looking up at the rafters where they have all the ECAC Team banners (shape of the Team sweater) with League Titles won. I was kind of shocked to see Dartmouth has never won the League title. Tried getting the attention of our own Joe Yeardon, who is doing the games for fasthockey I believe but no luck......look down Joe!!

                      It may not be the reason now, but it was certainly the reason you started. Going to put another stupid tag about me, or is comparing me to Hokeydope enough?

                        Do we even have a TV schedule, whether regional or national? It'd be cool if they televised the Mayor's Cup on TWCS at least...

                              Ah. I don't think we played national TV last year. And no, I'm not counting NBC's icebreaker streams. Regional TV I don't recall, there may have been one or two, like Freakout. It'd be nice if CHS were to mark whether it was a TV game.
