Top of my list:

Wars with Capt. Jack Parker and his Terriers then putting on the full throttle load on in beantown...priceless.

There's also the jealousy factor: We're undefeated at Agganis. Anyone that thinks that's a real factor for a move is a DuMass.

I am sure that if we end up in HEA, that we will feel that their refs have it in for us also.

I wonder if Parker will have retired by the time we get to the HEA -- if we end up there.

At the rate we've been going, I wouldn't be surprised.

I might have to call Buddy Powers a bunch of names if Capt. Jack retires.

I did not say that. What I said was that we should not be basing our decision on having our feelings hurt by league officials. Otherwise, we're no better than the BHHC. If we're basing our move to Hockey East on attracting recruits and having better quality opponents, I'm all for the move.

Agreed. Those are the adavantages to going to HEA. We also wouldn't be going there to improve the academic perception of RPI.

I tend to doubt that Powers will succeed Capt. Jack, but it is jsut a gut feeling.

Yes, sadly that is my thought. HEA is really hoping that UConn will upgrade their program.

That is one thing that RPI has going for it that other HEA teams don't have -- a fan base. However MTU also has a fan base, and that didn't get them into the the NCHC/

Seeing as how their women's team is already at HEA, that may also be a factor into bringing in UCONN.
