“Some of the greatest fans”: Congrats to Rensselaer’s traveling fans who were at Yale’s Ingalls Rink on Saturday night.
The way they cheered when Jerry D’Amigo returned from being shaken up by a hard -- and clean -- hit by Yale’s Jeff Anderson after just few minutes, fired up the Engineers just as much as D’Amigo himself did.
To anyone listening to the game, Engineers backers made it sound as if Yale had just scored each time RPI found the net.
That’s profound.
“It was great,” Appert said of the road fan support. “I spoke at an alumni function of about 150 and it seemed like there were at least 300 at the game. That’s part of what makes playing at and coaching at RPI so special. Our fans can take over a (an opposing) rink. We have some of the best fans in college hockey.”
“They were great,” Kennedy said of the RPI fans. “There were a lot of alumni there whom we don’t usually see at Houston Field House who were able to make it there. We kind of felt like we were still at the Field House. We had a little RPI corner there.”
