Cornell legacy signs with RPI

[ursusminor]

This probably isn't worth a thread of its own, but I didn't find an appropriate existing thread here, and it may be of interest to older Cornell fans.

RPI signed a few days ago Dan Peace of the Toledo Ice Diggers (NAHL), son of Cornell's Dave Peace '75 (and nephew of Bob Peace). http://www.icediggers.com/news.html

RPI will give Peace a chance.

I mean, he probably has a better chance of cracking the lineup at RPI :-D

Ralph, you know you're just asking for more RIP jokes, right? :-P

Will,

No problem with RPI jokes. Considering Dan Peace's stats in NAHL, not the best of leagues, I don't expect him to play that much for RPI as a Freshman either. We'll see. There is more discussion about him on the RPI Off Season thread at USCHO.

BTW, also in RPI's Class of 2008 is Jacob Schuster whose father Jon played for Harvard ('77 I think), and Tyler Eaves whose father Murray played for Michigan for two years (78-80).  We have to keep away from the Clarkson legacies as Greg Kemp (son of Clarkson's Jerry) was a bust. :-D

Can Harvard and Cornell legacies play on the same team? ;-)

Must be tough on a parent who played well and honorably for Cornell (63 points his senior year) when your son is good enough to get into Cornell (assuming you can make it into RPI, you could make it into Cornell) but he just isn't seen as good enough for the hockey program.

The only thing better than the son getting in would be if father was comfortable financially and could underwrite the new Lynah Rink. It would have to be called something like the Center for Peace Studies.

Like "Peace in RPI" ?
