We will all have our fond memories of HFH. Unfortunately for some they aren't quite as niceQUOTE]

If I may start a fondest memories of HFH (hockey or non hockey) discusssion to help in passing some time this summer.

Being a young guy here, I have 2 moments that will always stick with me.

1. The comeback against Clarkson in the Big Red Freakout (aka the night they broke the horn). I still cant help but smile when thinking about that night, the roof was blown off the place when the Engineers won it in OT. I didnt have a voice for a few days after that.

2. Again the Big Red Freakout and Capt. Kirk scoring with under a minute left in the game to win it. That was one of those movie style endings with him rushing up the ice and just letting go of a perfectly placed shot. Add in the fact that CSTV was showing the game nationally.

Also I have been told stories from friends and family about how Mike Tyson knocking people out sounded like a gun shot because he hit the person so hard.

Each season I enter the old barn on the hill and await more memories being made by the team.

These were indeed exciting-But my favorite still has to be the shot of all time by Doug Hearns to beat Ken Dryden in OT. The sound was so loud after the goal that I could not hear people sitting next to me. Over 47 years i have lots of memories of HFH but nothing has ever come close to that. I can still see Hearns coming down the left wing and winding up to take the shot. :)

I remember the 8.3 seconds, and I think CSTV just recently stopped streaming it.

There probably is somewhere, but I do not believe WRPI game archives are currently available online.

Article about Rosen from Clarkson being picked by NYI which at the end of it has an anecdote about Darren Puppa being selected by Scotty Bowman and how DP was originally slated to go to Denver instead of RPI.

My second favorite was the Clarkson game in December of 1970-my wife went into labor at the game and she refused to leave until it was over (3-3 tie). We barely made it to Albany Medical Center in time for her to deliver in a raging snow storm.:eek:

Worked yesterday but doesn't now. If you trim the link to this (http://mfile.akamai.com/9192/wmv/cs.../cstv_videos/Hockey/0205/rpi-brown-021205.wmv) it should still work.

Still gives me chills! A great ending from a heck of a player. Would not mind having a team made up of a bunch of Kirk MacD's:)

Another one of my favorites, actually in the same weekend as the not-so-fond memory I mentioned earlier, was the 2nd Whiteout game against Cornell. Farynuk went on a tear on that one, and I think Cornell was ranked #9 at the time, and resulted in a shutout. Great game.

Re: RPI 2010 Off-Season III -- How we learned to stop worrying and love the Class of '14

I wish I could remember the years as well as you guys, but besides the Kmac
goal, two of my favorites were;
Laing shutting out Cornell in a ECAC playoff game in the late nineties and another playoff game against Dartmouth when we tied the game with under 10 seconds left and won in overtime. Right around the year 2000.

I used to subscribe to USHR but stopped a year ago. So now I read it a few months late when it becomes free. The following is now free http://ushr.com/news/20100301. It mentions that the Ivies, as well as Clarkson, Merrimack, Vermont, RPI, and Canisius, are interested in Andrew Poturalski of the Nichols School.

Edit: FWIW, Wayne Clarke is an AC at Nichols in Amherst, NY.

DrD loves that Clarkson tie in 1970 as do I. But that was just part of a great week for RPI hockey beating Cornell 6-3 mid week. RPI jumped out to a 3-0 lead then Cornell tied it up but RPI finished. What a storm. Snow covered the ground until April.

As this weekend of celebration begins, I must direct all of you to Engineerhockeyfan's post line by Benjamin Franklin on this Independence Day 2010. May we all walk through life with our most essential liberties in tact, thus blissfully out of mind...let freedom ring.
