Joe Howe is the assistant coach that will take the reins as interim.

Speaking of the name, it's crazy to me that Howe seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth after leaving Cornell. He was contending for our starting job as a freshman, surprised no other team thought he was worth taking.

If a profile I found on LinkedIn is to be believed, he's still at Cornell, ILR '26. Maybe not getting the starting spot made him decide to move on from hockey and get going on the rest of his life.

FWIW, RPI has a new logo https://www.alumni.rpi.edu/controls/email_marketing/view_in_browser.aspx?sid=1225&gid=1&sendId=6197984 . I thought it was terrible until it was pointed out that it reads RPI, not Rensselaer, which is a distinct improvement.

It's still better than Cornell's non-descript new logo.

If anyone has over an hour to spend, a lengthy interview with RPI's coach Eric Lang. https://www.rpifieldhouse.com/p/interview-with-coach-lang?utm_source=podcast-email%2Csubstack&publication_id=417313&post_id=170946524
New incoming player Matthew Jovanovic, a former Notre Dame recruit on D who has suffered through several injury-riddled seasons. https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/535867/matthew-jovanovic Appears to be great if he has recovered to the degree that Lang states. Being a pessimist, I see the second coming of Kurt Wiesel, brother of Clarkson's Adam.

Now if the RPI women could get Matthew's sister, Sophie, who played goalie for the Toronto Marlboro's 16U boys team last season and had a 1.71 GAA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdoncWmcTIM

Looks like Bright. Cut down the scoreboard, let Poors in the luxury boxes for free, and they have something.

They did cut down the scoreboard from Messa and then moved it to the this gambling casino side-show - though that's not what you meant.

Besides, how are the Union students to know when to cheer without it?
