            Its been a while since Pothier had a regular job in the NHL.
            It has seemed to run in streaks. There was a time when we seemed to have some and then almost none. But then again, in the old days we mostly just followed the NHL level. Now with the internet coverage available we have access to so much more. Sometimes i wonder about the old days when we had those great teams in the 1960's and how many of thse boys would have played professionally if there were enough teams and the NHL was comprised of more teams. (excluding 1965-66 of course)

              Meh, the ECAC refs won't read the rule change anyway, so it won't matter

                Getting back to the ECAC, this whole no TV of final four is just another reason your going to see ivies jump. Wonder if the Ivies will miss Paul Stewart?

                  Bob Brinkworth (class of '64) played several years in the AHL when the NHL had no more than 12 teams. He probably could have gotten at least a cup of coffee if there were as many NHL teams as there are today.

                  Jerry Knightley (class of '65), was pretty nearly Brinkworth's equal, but chose to go to graduate school in Canada. If I recall correctly, since graduate students were allowed to play varsity hockey for Canadian colleges, Knightley actually returned to the Field House to play against RPI in a subsequent year.

                  There was also a fellow named Jim Josephson (class of '62). Although I was several years away from college age, I lived in the Troy area and I can remember reading a newspaper article indicating that Ned Harkness was disappointed when Josephson decided not to go pro. I don't remember what Josephson actually chose to do, but Harkness really thought he had a shot at the NHL - and that was when there were only six teams.

                    Knightley and Bruce Tisdall both played against RPI while at grad school at U. Western Ontario.

                      Today is 15 March 2012. There are 205 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.

                            I totally believe Brinkworth and Knightley could have played at the NHL level today. I also think Bill Sack would have had that kind of career. There are probably others from both the 60's and even the early 70's. But the number of NHL organizations was limited.
                            We can only imagine if any of the earlier players could have made it from the Harkness years.

                              There are just too many reasons for them to leave. I agree with you-I see this as not if but when.(and I do not think we will have long to wait)
