RPI 2026-27: Houston Field House, We Have Lift-off!

Just a pleasant way to pass the off season - instead of thinking about the Fieldhouse renovations.
Speaking of which.... The new boards and glass are installed. New epoxy floor coating application is underway in the concession area. There is no ice.

On a positive note, they've actually finally taken the plastic wrapping off of the new chiller unit , the service panels are off and workers are working...ha ha. The trailer mounted units remain on site and trucks from the company that owns those are on site working as well. All signs seem to point toward temporary chiller use until whatever is amiss with the permanent equipment is resolved.

I can't make the "hype" event tonight, but if someone attends perhaps they can corner Bowers and ask for some factual information.

If the equipment is there already then one possibility is that the coolant that they need is late coming. Perhaps a data center somewhere jumped the line...

Can anyone identify who #23 is? He is immediately after #12 Ryan Michael.
Might want to suggest to players that season will go better if they wear skates instead of slides.

Not sure? I checked the roster no #23 on it.
All I know is the new uniforms are fantastic!
The best RPI uniforms I’ve seen in a while.
 
As per Bowers tonight, the ice project is "on schedule"...ha ha. They are slowly lowering the cooling temp of the refrigerant 3 degrees per day as part of tempering the curing of the concrete. Out of an abundance of caution, the former WIH home game vs. Northeastern will be played at Mohawk Harbor.
