Serious question- why is this? I would love to know the story behind this as it is the first I've ever heard of it.Originally posted by GreatLakerMohawk View PostFormer Harvard Hockey broadcaster on 95.3 FM and WHRB.org.

Re: This Week in ECAC Hockey Poll: Booing Players
H****y had committed to RPI to enter in the 06-07 season. (He would have been a senior this year.) About three minutes after Dan Fridgen was let go as the RPI coach, it was announced that he would go to Harvard after a year in the USHL. While he was within his rights to change at that point, the timing has never been explained. All Seth Appert has said is that he did not want players who did not want to play for RPI.Originally posted by alslammerz View Post
You can have him. I like Peter Merth, who Seth Appert signed after arriving, better.
I agree with GLM.Comment

Re: This Week in ECAC Hockey Poll: Booing Players
I'll give my own example of when Colgate students booed a hockey player.
Last February, in the home season finale for Colgate vs. RPI, late in the 2nd period RPI's Garret Vassel slammed Colgate's Jason Williams into the boards. He didn't get up, and had to be taken off the ice on a stretcher. Vassel was given a 5-minute major, and when his penalty expired and was back on the ice, all the Colgate students erupted with loud booing and chants of "12 you suck!" (he wears #12) unless he was on the bench.
I don't want this story to sound offensive to faithful RPI fans, but thankfully Williams did not suffer a serious injury, though the Colgate fans in the rink at the time thought so. Luckily Colgate was able to defeat RPI 2-1 in overtime, causing the crowd to erupt in a frenzy and forget about the Williams "injury".Colgate '09Comment

Re: This Week in ECAC Hockey Poll: Booing Players
I don't want this to turn into a Chris Huxley thread, but I do want to state that not all RPI fans fault Huxley for his decision to go to Harvard.
If he decided that Harvard with Ted Donato was a better fit for him than RPI with a coach to be named later (if I recall correctly, there was a significant time lapse between the time when Dan Fridgen was let go and the time Seth Appert was hired), I cannot find it within me to boo him for making that decision.Comment
