Has anyone heard if the tickets have all been sold? Although I suspect that quite a few people who would normally go won't buy tickets because they are mad at Shirley, with only a little over 1000 tickets being sold for each game, those will probably go fast.

I am looking forward to going to the games!

At the two year mark of the pandemic (just three months less than the entire duration of the Spanish Flu) that is not even lucid.

Not that they really don't want to set up another hoop to jump through, but they don't want to raise the ire of the ECACHL either who wants some money out of this event. Instead of tests, heaven knows what the seating arrangements will be.

Speaking of staying away. Not that a lot of people go to the spring outdoor D3 games anyway, but it appears even outdoors games still require being masked for a couple hours. At the two year mark of the pandemic (just three months less than the entire duration of the Spanish Flu) that is not even lucid.

The seating is general admission. No restrictions on where you may sit have been announced, and I doubt the field house staff are going to be asked to intervene in people's seating choices.
I am looking forward to going to the games!

Totally agree and my guess is you are spot on re: ECAC insisting on a fan presence.
After much debate, our HFH crew is opting out and instead will GATHER TOGETHER in solidarity at a nearby establishment to watch the game on TV. I won't set foot on the campus or spend a nickel until she is gone. Period. If and when RPI wins the weekend series I will travel to cheer them on in person in the host's barn.
If day to day circumstances permit, may be kind of nice to drop by and again see and chat with people you may actually know at least casually but have not seen in a totally absurd, unacceptable and unbelievable two years.
To the animals calling the shots at that place, something like this would constitute a totally novel concept beyond their comprehension capabilities.

Students will probably number near zero as they are on break and mostly not here.
The nowhere near as committed and dedicated walk up crowd possibly could provide the rest of the 500. However, keep in mind that this less invested group is the most likely to stay away in droves upon learning that they MUST go to only one door to enter, MUST present a card proving full vaccination including booster and MUST wear a mask for well over two hours. Just too many MUSTS for less invested paying customers, especially since they now all simply have far better options for their entertainment dollar in this area requiring absolutely NONE of the preceding.

Many have given great reasons not to grace HFH with their presence this weekend and I respect them. I cannot go on Friday or Saturday anyway due to major family commitments. However, if there's a game on Sunday I'm going to make every effort to be there. There's only one reason and it dates back to the very first game I saw two years before enrolling as a student. My late brother couldn't make the game so he gave his tickets to me and a friend. It was a truly incredible game featuring the RPI debut of Ian "Goober" Harrison against #1 Michigan. The Engineers stormed back from a 5-1 deficit to win the game and I was hooked. I love RPI hockey and it's a passion that has stayed with me for 46 seasons (well, 45 with one to the pandemic) that has ranged from the truly awful to some of the best college hockey has ever seen. No matter where we lived there hasn't been one active season during those years that I haven't been to at least one game in Troy and one on the road. It's just part of me and no administration or pandemic inconvenience can really change that.Last edited by rpi82; 03-02-2022, 11:22 PM.

Great episode of Talkin' Neers right before playoffs, honestly one of our best ever episodes. McIsaac and Gagnon are absolute characters too
