Perhaps you might consider sharing the 10C's for those posters and lurkers who are unfamiliar? (Just a thought...so the "next generation" can be initiated.)

I would recommend looking on the First Church of RPI Hockey wiki. The link should be available in hawthr's signature.

Re: RPI V: Chase for the Championship (and Hobey)

Sorry, but as far as the "9th commandment" is concerned, I need to chime in here...

I don't sit with the gentleman who owns the "It's Not Debatable," t-shirt, but find it hilarious. The "cheer" is probably the worst (and most obnoxious) I've ever heard at a hockey game, other than the completely out of place "d-fense!" chants. Understand that this has nothing to do with supporting/not supporting the home team. It has to with being embarrassed as hockey fan since I was born.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for creative and spirited chants at the HFH. I love when the place if full and loud, even it means new blood. I just wish there was a way to say to those who don't get it:

"Come to games. Learn from those around you, then get creative. If you're not creative or don't know hockey (or both), don't start things."

I know this is impossible as people will always scream "shoot it" every 30 seconds, no matter if there's a shooting lane or not. Oh well, we all have pipe dreams.

I remember listening to WGR before a Sabres game, and they were talking about this very thing. They had mentioned that usually this is done to look for a possible backdoor pass to the guy in "the office", and that people should scream "Backdoor pass!" instead of "Shoot it!". So sometimes when people are yelling "Shoot it!", I'll yell "Backdoor pass!".

But you're absolutely right, I'd rather have us work for the good shot, rather than throw a puck that will likely get blocked by a forward.

I find the back and forth hilarious, to be quite honest. It's an argument about semantics.

The "cheer" is probably the worst (and most obnoxious) I've ever heard at a hockey game, other than the completely out of place "d-fense!" chants.

You have got to be kidding me on both fronts. Worst? Most obnoxious? Wow. You have extremely high standards.

And what's out of place about chanting "defense" during a penalty kill? THAT'S WHAT YOU DO ON A PENALTY KILL.

It has to with being embarrassed as hockey fan since I was born.

Uh... you know what I'd be embarrassed about? Calling myself "redhawk." Bu-CAW!

Re: RPI V: Chase for the Championship (and Hobey)

Looks like next years schedule is starting to come together.

2 - @ Colorado College

Im wondering if RPI might be traveling out to Colorado Springs with Yale next season to play a game each against CC and Air Force. I pulled this from the NH Register.

http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2...note022310.txt

It’s then off to Colorado Springs Nov. 12-13 to play at Air Force and perennial WCHA power Colorado College.

RPI doesnt have any scheduled league games that weekend.
