Re: RPI Off-Season Thread 2012 Part III: BYOB: Bring Your Own Bratwurst

I noticed over the summer that some schools have promoted their hockey coaches to asst. atheltic directors (Vaughn - Colgate, Dennehy, Merrimack). I wonder if this is in our great coach's future. COL Knowlton does an awesome job IMO and he and SA seem to always be on the same page. Let's face it, RPI is a hockey school and would'nt it make sense to make the head coach asst. AD like is what is happening other places?

Vaughn has been an Asst. A.D. at Colgate for some time. He even took a year long sabaticcal from hockey (with Stan Moore taking the reigns) to act as interim A.D. This summer, I think they bumped him up to "Associate" A.D. or similar...likely with a pay bump..which I'm guessing is the intent of the maneuever.

Actually, while we're talking about "bump ups", congrats to Chris Thompson, the medical trainer, on becoming head of that department at RPI. http://www.rpiathletics.com/news/201...904124854.aspx

A well earned promotion for Chris...a hard working guy. Great decision by the Colonel.

No, they're all going to be indentured servants.

I will volunteer if they need one. Most of the guys love my input on how they play already.

In honor of Brianna Piper, today is 6 September 2012. There are 30 days (1 month) 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 scheduled.

That's got a nice ring to it Ralph! The long off season is drawing to a close...can't be soon enough!

Wonder if anyone out there has heard anything from Capt. practices?? Glimpse of the frosh, etc. ?
