RPI at Mercy Hurst 2.0, Sunday, 12/15

[Waite21]

Score tied at the end of the first period, 1-1. Statistics show RPI with an advantage, though not a very decisive one.

I believe this is the first time RPI has played in Pennsylvania since November of 2013, when they split a two-game set with Mercyhurst. Coming into this season, RPI had played Mercyhurst 12 times, the most of any Pennsylvania opponent. They have also played Robert Morris once. Have never played Penn State. In the '60's and '70's, RPI used to play Penn, and way back in the first decade of the 20th century, they played Pitt and Carnegie Mellon, which I suspect was then known as Carnegie Tech.

Somewhere in Mercyhurst's trophy case, there may be something to commemorate their winning the championship of the RPI Holiday Tournament, which they did in November 2008. The tournament only continued for a couple of years after that.

The Tournament was often the highlight of our winter. Mostly held in late December, but some times in November, it was concentrated hockey. 2 days of double headers and you got to see 3 teams that you might not get a look at ever. In the earlier years the tournament was even more games on more days. Wish we could turn the clock back and start that tradition again.
