Sounding like Ben Barr is the hire for Maine. It'll be interesting to see what he can accomplish there

What, Mongo's not interested?

Today is 12 May 2021. There are 143 days until RPI's next game.


This is based upon 2 October 2021 for the start of next season.

Ben Barr as head coach with Ken Ralph as AD. Looks like RPI Northeast...

Congrats to Ben Barr. It's a good thing that Coach Smith did well in 2019-20, or I would be still quite mad that we didn't select Barr.

Some of us haven't gotten over it RB ... Best of luck to Benny in his new gig. ..hopefully we can schedule some game vs. Maine.

I am very much looking forward to October. I think we all need to keep in mind that many other teams are in the exact same position we are. I’d like to suggest that , despite what many people think, I think RPI should give away RPI hockey masks at the first men’s and women’s games next fall. I have missed the action, but I have not missed the 2-4 week annual chest cold I did not get this past year because of wearing a mask and socially distancing. I plan on wearing a mask at the games. I simply don’t want to have to sit home because I am sick, Covid , a cold, the flu, whatever.

I would agree with you but point out the notable exception that RPI players were prohibited from gathering, working out or SKATING....which was NOT the case at most of the other schools that did not play a schedule this year. That has been and continues to be my issue with RPI. I have no problem with and will never take exception to anyone choosing to wear a mask, but am sure as heck not interested in continuing to wear one. That's why I got vaccinated.

i bought a nice Puckman mask a while back. I'd like to wear it at a game. :-)

Scott Moser has apparently applied for the UVM head-coach vacancy.
