>>> RIT Tigers 2016-17: That was fun; let's go for three!

[blazer777]

RIT only has six non-conference games. They are playing all three NC road games in New England. There are five teams in the league in that region and RIT will play either two or three of them each season. There really is not much more they can do unless

they give up home games.

You have convinced me that a trip to the fair city of Worcestershire is in order to catch a few games this winter! Now you can close this thread!😎

Which means it's time to invest in skate manufacturers as everyone does the same.

Anyway, time for a new thread? This title I picked a year ago is bugging me now.

I just bought five pairs of skates before they are banned altogether!��

I'm pretty sure an unnamed influential member of the RIT sports media lead the charge for a national skate registration. Good news is the National Skate Association and RIT College Republicans are in favor of increased regulation on Bump

Skates...

I'm probably going to get a slap on the wrist and "glasses at the tip of the nose" look for that one

Good thing the reaper doesn't lurk around here or this would turn into a circus

You know I'd be real impressed with another fan base if we hear about that while playing on the road this season. Has anyone heard a rumor about Disney suing over that?

I've been thinking the same thing. Or if RIT has a Teddy Bear toss. How many Roo's are going to hit the ice. I don't know how well RPI fans travel but they were quick to pick up on old Roo at RIT. So Roo might be making a showing at GPC sooner than later. Maybe Ritchie could invite a full size Roo on the ice between periods. Lots of possibilities.

Roo approves.

Regardless of one's political leanings... That's a good one

Good to see RIT addressing the recent spate of skate-based violence and heading it off.

For anyone going to the Orange & White game tonite, and staying for Skate with the Tigers, I got some important information this morning from the GPC box office:

1. Skates can not be brought into the arena for the game, you have to leave them in your car and go get them between the game and the skating session.

2. The box office will be closing at 6:00 PM, so if you don't get your ticket in advance, don't be late!!!!

Both of these are decidedly inconvenient, the first item for obvious reasons, and the second item because my daughters are more interested in the skating, so we were going to show up about halfway through the Orange & White Game (I know, I should probably have my fan card revoked!). Now I need to make an extra trip over to RIT this afternoon. I think they need to come up with a better system for this, particularly the item about not being allowed to bring skates in. I did not see that communicated anywhere, so I'm glad I called.

RIT University Arenas........ Especially given the parking situation at the GPC that is ridiculous. I get the security issue and not wanting them in the stands, but there will probable only be 100-200 people tonight. They should just use a coat check system to check in the skates. That would make too much sense though...

Did that include season ticket pick up? Per the Email they sent it sounded like they would have a table set up for that, not be using the box office.

Tables will be set up just outside the Box Office (at Gate 1) for pick up of both your season ticket books and the complimentary ticket for this game.

If you are unable to make the Orange vs. White Night the season tickets will be available to pick up at the Gene Polisseni Center Box Office beginning Wednesday, October 4th. The Box Office is open Monday-Friday from 10am-6pm.

True, I often have thought about what may have happen if Garbowsky doesn't miss much of his Junior year. However, last year's team showed signs of going off the rails long before their were any injuries. The blown 4 Goal lead to RMU debacle for one had nothing to do with the Norrish twins getting hurt...

Yup, I remember many of us posting that that lost might be costly for us despite being so early in the year. Never got our mojo on after that lost culminating in our playoff loss to Niagara. If we fans are still writing about that collapse I think we can pretty much guarantee the returning student athletes on the ice that night have not forgotten either. I think 'determined' is a good description for this years team and while I'm not expecting a win for brick city I'd like to see RIT steal some points when Union and RPI visit.

Some injuries are more impactful than others.

Their heads got on the way. Yes there were injuries, but they always have injuries.
