RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

I'm serious; I don't mind long hair AT ALL...it's a personal statement that fully correctable if needed (unlike tattoos)...it just looks really BAD on him...too tall, too frizzy, too red, too much! I saw and heard the reactions at high school games...I will dig up a photo and show the evidence...

Reactions at games are nothing. You know how many times I've heard "get a haircut" yelled from the student section or the band during a game, whether directed at hockey players or not? I remember there was one game in Pyongyang, I was with the band, and some girls with a whiteboard were chiding me about my hair.

In any case, I look forward to seeing this one on facebook....

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

He's already done this before (his high school hockey pictures were horrible because of a 7" fro!!!) and he's growing it out in DBQ. I know I gotta' pick my battles but it makes small children think Ronald McDonald has gone psycho... REALLY unattractive during the National Anthem...

If he dyed some stripes white, it might look better during the anthem.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Just MHO but i think you kind of have to go with it. He will decide what looks best for him when he finds out what the ladies like.(and that most definitely does not include his mother) As a guy I will grow as much hair as i can while i still could. With age we learn that shorter hair is just so much easier to care for. Jenny likes me with my hair long but once it turned silver I wanted it shorter. If I was Luke's age-my hair would be like I had it back in the 70's-in a pony tail with beads in it.

Oh yeah...we know which battles to fight...this is NOT one of them...can I get a photo of you with the long hair and beads?

Please don't give him any ideas...he dyed what little beard he had one year...black...he looked like abraham llincoln with a red fro

I hear he has a pretty good coach out in Oakville this year.

Re: RPI 2011 Recruit Thread Pt. II

Heres his profile from the Oakville website. Sounds like he will fit right in with SA's style of play. Welcome aboard Mark!

http://oakvilleblades.pointstreaksit...s/mark-mcgowan

Mark is incredibly consistent both offensively and defensively. He has speed, size and a high hockey I.Q; will play as a top 6 forward as well as play on the PP and PK during 2010-2011.

New recruit means more work for Ralph Welcome to the madness that is RPI hockey Mark. Hope you stay longer than your former teammate.

Pfft, I've heard every insult in the past 9 years. Not a single one is new. Although one time I tucked it inside a cap, and 6 people thought I got a haircut.

I was always on the edge and never looked the part of the typical doctor. Yes we have pictures and I am sure Jenny will show them to you when we meet up.

This I like-my kind of forward-big. Seems like he has a bit of a scoring touch. The class is taking shape.
