      Often overlooked is the contribution of Kraig Nienhuis but I am not sure when he arrived in Troy but am sure he left early.
      Yes, he did leave early. The reason why is because back in the ‘80’s, once a player reached a certain age, he would lose a year of eligibility for each year over that age. Neinhuis would have been unable to play after the 84-85 season, so he left and signed with the Boston Bruins.

        If only this rule is still in place, we may actually get true college aged kids playing

          I still feel that no one should enter college who is older than I was on the day that I graduated from RPI which was 20 years, 5 months, and 5 days.

            I am just under 6' and Jenny is all of 4'9" (at one time she claims to have been as much as 4'10"). So I am used to thinking about someone as a smurf (another post that I hope she does not see!)

              I would agree with this except only as it pertains to playing athletics. I think a lot of folks should go out and work for a few years and get a little more mature before deciding about entering college. There are a lot of good jobs that do not necessarily need a college degree and just entering college to get some useless degree in something that ends in the word "studies" is a waste of money and time.

              Years ago I recall a plumber who came to my house to replace the hot water heater finding out that i was a physician. He said that he had always wanted to be a doctor but decided not to when he found out he would be taking a large cut in pay!!

                So I don't believe anyone here has brought up the topic - at least not lately - but the women's team is an embarrassing 0-24-1. With something like 9 games left to play...there is a very real chance they will finish the season winless. As Ken Schott accurately wrote in an op-ed in his column a few years ago re: the Union women's team, if this were the men's hockey team there is NO way a coach would survive going 0-fer an entire season.

                The young ladies at RPI deserve far better and MacElroy needs to get off his can and take action. That SAJ has allowed the dumpster fire to go on this long is equally telling. There are many talented, experienced and qualified WOMEN coaches out there who would kill to have a D1 HC job. I know all of the reasons why they haven't made a change, but seriously.... a joke.

                        I would think that head coach of the women's team is a promotion from men's assistant coach.

                            definitely not in any real sport. imagine going from duke mens asst to women's head coach
                            baseball lsu asst to women's softball head coach
                            football alabama asst to women's head soccer coach I guess?

                              The Duke analogy is the only one relevant. Your also forgetting the fact that a head coach, men’s or women’s, is better on a resume than assistant

                                How about we imagine the UConn men's asst vs. the women's HC (or Tennessee, Baylor, etc.). Or here in hockey, a men's assistant at Wisconsin or Clarkson going to HC of the women's team.
