Pretty amazing.

Too bad they haven't kept records for consecutive saves made.  Sounds like he could already have that.

RPI captures the NYC market?  Um...

RPI captures the coveted NYC Capital District market home to the Albany River Rats...Albany Devils...Albany ?'s.  But more importantly the league rounds out its nerd factor as the Freshman Engineers fulfill the coveted "Calculus Distribution" requirement.::stupid::

You live there, so you probably know more than I do, but RPI doesn't even own the CD market currently, having lost it to Union. We are probably capable of getting it back, but NYC is ridiculous. There is a vacancy in the HEA that would fit better, but I don't think that there is serious interest there either.

I don't think there is a significant (hockey) sports market in the tri-city region. I have no answer regarding the empty seats for the Cornell at Union game on the 3rd. The turn out at the Mayor's Cup TU Center game was ok considering the Thursday night slot but disappointing compared to prior years. Regional turnout here has been less than I expect as a college hockey fan.  The ECAC left town because of dwindling attendance (and a payoff from the Atlantic City competitor).

I'd rather get off my butt, see some friends and drink some barely acceptible coffee during my regular trips to Houston Fieldhouse but many former season ticket holders disagree.

?I don't understand!?!?

This is one of the dopiest things I've seen lately outside of the Trump White House :-P

[ursusminor]

When I first read this, I thought that the ECAC had to find a new team. Finishing behind RPI this season is a reason to fold. ::rolleyes::

ECAC Hockey suspends Rensselaer's Tironese one game for spearing penalty versus Colgate.  

Too bad they couldn't have seen a tape of Union from our game.

Appert is out at RPI.

[Iceberg]

I wonder if Brendan Whittet will go soon too.

[Trotsky]

Gaudet is another one to watch.  He's an alum and well-liked, and Dartmouth doesn't care whether they are competitive, so he can probably stay as long as he wants, but his son has graduated and he's closing in on his 30th year as a coach with a lifetime 50+ games under .500, and they cratered this year.

Fun fact: Gaudet has 181 fewer losses than Jerry York.  And 648 fewer wins.

[Trotsky]

Don Vaughn, too.  25 years at 'Gate, now coming off back-to-back .324 seasons (the worst during his tenure).

Coach Kyle Dismissed at Northern Michigan.

In the comment section; "seth appert (FSU alum) will replace him...".

Kyle Charged With Felonies; Attorney: 'Entirely Innocent'.

Not being a lawyer and obviously not knowing all the facts, the defense attorney gives a good argument.
