Given the recent HE breathlessness, I thought this 'lil bit from the archives might be of interest.

Well, it is true that the season during which this article was written was Addesa's last at RPI.

However, it is also true that the incident which resulted in his departure occurred a couple of weeks before the article was written and had nothing to do with RPI's conference affiliation or Northeastern's coaching situation.

Higgs and Laliberte estimate their return will be the first week of November.

Could really not expect much better news given the injuries they had. If it is even possible to think about returning next week-the injuries could not possibly be as severe as first feared. But then again, these are hockey players-if this was baseball, they would be on the 60 day disabled list and perhaps out for most of the season. I guess hockey players just heal faster.:rolleyes:

O'Grady, however is a different situation. You just never know with concussions and you absolutely cannot take any chances since the damage appears to be cumulative. As physicians, we know so much more now and have so much better testing that we had 30-40 years ago. But we are still very much in the dark about concussion. Each case has to be taken on it's own. We have had some very severe episodes with RPI boys and even more so with former RPI boys in the NHL(Pothier and Tapper)and these injuries can be career ending. Here's hoping Marty is symptom free soon and back on the ice-we miss him.

I posted it more for the HE angle...wasn't really looking to stir up Mike's departure...but what the heck, we've got time before the ND game...

That said, I would argue that his departure was a cumulative event..starting with the HE no-go, the refusal of the admin to lower the index ( and Mike's inability to get over it)...and culminating with the "incident" as the last straw. Mike just couldn't get past the HE decision.

Generally speaking, the incident aside, publicly calling out your employer over an issue you disgree with them on is a great way to end up on the street.

WS, as always, spot on. You are so right about "cululative" aspect of departure. One thing not mentioned is that Mike A raised $$$ for HFH upgrade w/out asking admin (Bob Duke). Ever time we have flirted with HE and not gone we have seen a diminution of the program.
