The Collegiate StarLeague team had to forfeit vs. the Toronto Varsity Blues. :(

Fire the coach, he/she doesn't know how to adapt to in-game changes and has shown a history of not getting the job done. I don't know what potential player would want to come to a program like this one. 7 years and I've had enough of not winning the CSL title.

Well Im not giving one more dollar to this program until things change. The administration better wake up and see it has a problem on its hands.

No one commented on the fact that Jerry Knightley was chosen to be the next addition to the Ring of Honor. Knightley was the star of the team my freshman year 1964-5. While I think that he is very deserving of the honor, he seems like an odd choice to me. He played long enough ago that I don't think his selection will add to the attendance for that game, and there are a couple of older players who are probably somewhat more deserving. If attendance is the main object then I would pick a more recent grad, for example John Carter or Joel Laing. JMHO.

It's near impossible to have a meaningful discussion here lately. I agree he's an odd choice. Why not John Carter? Mike McPhee?

I suspect that part of the reason, as I think was mentioned, is that the 1964 is being honored that weekend anyway, so he will be in town. Also he is a 2-time first team All American and thus is deserving. I expect that Carter will eventually be chosen. McPhee did not receive any national honors and I would not consider his NHL career with regard to the Ring of Honor. We will never know what he would have done in his senior year if he were not injured.
 
Re: RPI 2013/14 Part II: The HFH is Covered with Frozen Drivel

Jerry Knightley was before my time, but what I've heard about him sounds like he is deserving of the honor. And there should be a member of that squad in the HOF. So far all the members of the hall are all forwards (or coaches). There must be a defenseman or goaltender who deserves recognition.

Do we know who is on the selection committee?
I don't go back as far as some of the posters here, but Joel Laing certainly deserves to be in the discussion.
And just to mention a few names from the time I started with RPI hockey. Eric Healey, Matt Murley, Brad Tapper, Marc Cavosie and some attention should be given to Nathan Marsters. JMO

I don't believe that either Tapper or Cavosie are eligible since they did not graduate. (Tapper was in the RPI directory a couple of years ago, so conceivably he has taken additional courses.) I suspect that Murley will eventually get in.

As to the selection committee I don't think it has been mentioned but probably includes the Colonel and SA. I can think of other possibilities, but I better not mention them.

Brinkworth was also on the 63-64 and is in. It has crossed my mind that no goalies and defensemen aren't in. I think that Laing is the most likely goalie inductee. (Puppa didn't graduate from RPI.) I can think of numerous deserving dmen, in no particular order, Hammond, Dark, Bailen, Pothier, Lafontaine '53, Pryce '63.

Do we know for sure that graduation is a prerequisite for the honor? I haven't seen any of the criteria.
Also, I have to believe that some of the members of the committee have to go back way before the Colonel and SA.
As this honor is still is still in its infancy, I believe that members from the fifties and sixties that are deserving should go in as a group, and then individuals from the seventies on could be inducted. At this rate, a guy like Polacek will not get in for twenty more years.
These are just some personal thoughts.

I understand one's loyalty to their Team but does anyone really think Haggs deserves the vote over "Johnny Hockey"?......PS, I voted for Haggs :D

I don't think that we have seen criteria, but somewhere I recall reading that graduation was a criteria. It might have been someone's guess and it may have been for the athletics HoF. I too would hope that someone, or better more than one, who goes way back is on the committee. I think it is better to honor members one at a time, and I don't think that Polacek as a two-time All American will have to wait 20 years, but there should be a minimum waiting period -- say ten years after graduation.
