It took you 14 posts to get this up?! I'm disappointed.

Not to mention 4 months.

How about the NE-10 having all the schools play in the NE-10???

Think about it and how one can make it work...

Springfield is one New England's ****iest cities. 15 murders this year; it's a blurping cesspool/Petri dish.

You are right about Springfield not being the safest of cities. That is hurting the attendance for the AHL Springfield Falcons as well. Even though there are hockey arenas in Springfield, AIC plays all of their home games in the next town over: West Springfield, Ma. at the Olympia Ice Center, seating for about 1200.

AIC has been around for a very long time and have never had a lot of success. I am a UMASS fan and live in W. Springfield, and watch A.I.C. when UMASS is not playing. They are a strange team in that they can surprise many teams when they least expect it, even though I must admit it isn't very often.
This season for example:
AIC-5 @ USAF-3
AIC 5 @ Mercyhurst-2
AIC 3 @ Mercyhurst-0
RIT-2 @ AIC-6
AIC-0 @ Minn. State 1

and a couple of yrs. ago at Dartmouth a 3-3 OT-Tie after they gave up the tying goal at the 19:99 mark of the 3rd period.

That sweep of Mercyhurst still confuses me. I can see AIC stealing 1 game of a weekend, but them sweeping was a puzzler.

Last year they were tied with RPI 2-2 well into the 3rd period. RPI needed a late PPG from Jerry D'Amigo to win it, and AIC had some good chances to go ahead in that game.

I didn't know people watched this team. AIC sucks something awful. Should College Hockey realign, I hope they trim out teams like AIC from D1. RIT, RM, NU, I'd welcome to the EZ-AC. Air Force to WCHA. Then let us bid adieu to the perennial basement dwellers.

Also, AIC chased about 4 goaltenders from the game, if not more. At least one was a first string goalie. Maybe more? Seems like more. The problem was that the backup that day usually shut down AIC the rest of the game.
In the Mercyhurst game, Mercyhurst allowed AIC to attack and continue to attack. Once (AIC)they gained confidence, it was like they said to themselves. wow, they're allowing us to skate. Mesdner made so early good saves, they started skating and really controlling the puck and the play, and everything clicked, and Mercyhurst didn't change their game. Mercyhurst's goalie did his bestto hold them in the game, but AIC just broke through with continued pressure. Even some of the home fans commented how AIC dominated the play and deserved to win.

And AIC does have their first recruit.
NAHL Jake Williams - D Alaska
57 5 42 47 +22 82 1 19 0 4 2 145 .034
but he struggled in the playoffs.

Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

oh, jerseys.... This may be the best time to contact the team. they got new jerseys for the game in Hartford, so their old jerseys may just be for sale???

Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Flooding the page. AIC has two games at Michigan Tech in early October! Here is hoping for at least two more OOC games this year. Who has the balls* to play AIC? Only Union has on a consistent basic lately. (props to teams like Minnesota State last year and RPI ho has scheduled two games vs AIC withing the last 10 years)


* - of course I mean not to worry about what it does to your rankings. This is the major bane of college football.

Re: AIC Represent!! 2010-20?? Thread

Looks like AIC will also play Union at an unknown date. I am really really hoping they can get at least two more non conference games! Come on teams! Help out a brother. =]

The last thing Michigan Tech is worried about at this point is hurting their PWR.
