I especially like the single game against Sacred Heart over the holidays.

Because it isn't an important game?

I think it's more along the lines of, even though it isn't the tournament we all remember (or at least most of us remember), it continues the tradition of a home NC game during the holiday season.

On a side note I do find the booing to be distrubing.

Booing Rensselaer senior hockey players is bull$#!+. These kids go to practice every day, and keep their grades up enough too play at RPI. They shouldn't be booed for 4 seasons worth of work. Booing an occasional breakdown during a game ok that is understandable. But booing these kids after 4 years on the ice and classroom? Come on get a life.
Win or loose Senior Night should be a great night for Seniors and their families. The sacrifice that these kids and their families have made to get to this point is huge. Unfortunately after this season most of these young men will not play in front of crowds this size. What pleasure could you possibly have in booing them?
If you need to boo someone go watch the Bruins play. You can boo them all you want!!

Well stated. It was nice to see the guys skate around and clap to the fans. Very classy group. I've gotten to know #13 the last month or so through a mutual friend and he is a fine example of sportsmanship, class and competitiveness. All my best to Alex ,Jeremy, Justin, Mike, Josh, Paddy C and Bergin.

Deos anyone remember if Joel Malchuk was honored on Senior Night a year ago? I am wondering if we get a read on whether or not Mike Bergin will use his red-shirt year by the precedence that Malchuk set.

I couldn't remember, but RPITV's video of last year's senior night shows that he was mentioned as being a classmate, but it was noted that he would return for this season.

Yeah seriously... I didn't think ADad was against the Quebeçois all THAT much.

Looking again at the schedule that I posted, the following three games are at 4 PM:

12/31 SHU
Sunday 1/6 @ UNH
1/12 @ Princeton

All others are at 7PM. Also, we are the home team for the extra Union game.

Re: RPI 2011-12 Part V: Don't Stop Believing

Black Friday vs. Union, Freakout likely either Dartmouth or Yale.

All games are the same, why highlight these 2?

I'm disappointed that there aren't about 20 more games against HE.

Because they have specific effects on ticket pricing. Students get in free for Black Friday (assuming they dress like an off-the-clock vicar), and tickets cost $3 extra for Freakout.

I see TWCS is doing the Cgate RPI game. I wonder if the scondrel is doing the play by play. I don't think he ever like Ms. Shirley

Wonder if we will rest Merriam 1 if not both games this weekend to clear his head
