RIT & Niagara @ RPI & Union (10/22, 10/23)

Re: RIT & Niagara @ RPI & Union (10/22, 10/23)

Is the Atlantic a scholarship league? For some reason I don't think it is but I could be wrong. Of course Army and Air Force are in a sense.

They are, but they are limited to 12 scholarships. Obviously RIT is in the same boat as you.

Could also do a NY-Penn league and have Mercyhurst & RMU.

A league with Union, RIT, Niagara, Canisius, and Mercyhurst would be awesome for historical reasons if nothing else.

And if you could convince Plattsburgh State to go D-1, it would be 1984 all over again!

For RIT, Canisius, and Mercyhurst, that is.
Union only has a meaningful D-III history with RIT. When Union was in ECAC West, Canisius was nothing worth writing home about (I know... what's so new about that?), Niagara was still 15 years or so from even having a team, and Mercyhurst was relatively new to ECAC West (only played each other once).
Niagara was only transitionally in ECAC West for two years. They did, however manage to very convincingly win the conference championship with a team of nearly all sophmores who were on their way to playing D-I full time the next season. Merely two seasons later they would make a stunning run to the 2nd round of the NCAA tournament (beating - who else - New Hampshire 5-1) along with 30 wins when they were nearly all seniors.
