If hockey's supposed to be RPI's marquee sport, then why not?

Because Homecoming is a large outdoor event and the weather is generally much better in early October than mid-February? Because they don't have to advertise Freakout! any more to maximize attendance (though the non-sell out this year is troubling, but explainable by the 9-21-1 record at that point) while football games struggle to fill ECAV?

Does anyone know how the Football team draws since it moved to the ECAV?

Reno is the forgotten man on this team he had trouble getting on the ice the second half of both his seasons at RPI. LGR!

18 Games Played -14 That's a recipe for not getting playing time.

Thanks. IIRC, students still get in free but others now pay.

Others have always technically had to pay at '86 Field (at least for the grandstand). The difference is that there isn't a walkway where one can "pass through".

Actually, I agree with you on the +/-. As Eddie O says, the plus/minus is used by agents to get more money for their clients. So why did I use it?.....I don’t know (that’s Doc Emerick).

We all can look at the stats from this past year forever. Truth is, we did some things very well. But only some and those did not win a lot of games for us. We did far too much badly. Troubling for me is that much of what we did badly is fundamental hockey. Bad faceoffs, bad line changes, bad positioning, bad penalties, etc. But watching all season, every so often there was that glimmer of hope(usually dashed quickly) or that little spark that kept me thinking-if only. I still think this is a heck of a good group of boys and proud of all of them. To all the seniors leaving-a big thank you. To all the new recruits coming in for next year, fit in quickly and hopefully address some of our problems. Obviously we need to score more goals but we also need to win faceoffs at a 50% or higher clip and we need to draw more penalties than we take.

As a UAlbany grad, I would totally recommend McElroy as a full time AD for RPI. As stated before here, he has taken UAlbany to the DI level pretty successfully and in my mind, made it the big name program in the area, as it relates to Basketball and Lacrosse. Not to mention the other lesser followed sports (track,softball,baseball,soccer etc.) have made several trips to the NCAA tournament. As usual my question to all those looking for a new coach for the team is who? Who is out there that we can realistically get to come to Troy. Not trying to argue just curious to see who is out there that you think would fit in.

That grand stand on the 86 Field sure was ugly. Fortunately it didn't exist back in my day. :p

I don't think the head coach is leaving, but if there was an opening the first guy I would call would be Ben Barr.

The sophomore class may not be great, but the freshman class is very good, if they can stay healthy. Because zalewski and haggerty left early, the senior class was not strong. I really don't think Dr. Jackson or her tight circle of advisors care about the fans or wins and losses.

zalewski was a junior not senior
Every team has players leave early look it up , RPI has only had a few leave early ....just 5 that I remember past 9 years York pirri damigo hags zalew
 
Re: RPI 2015 Off Season Thread: Another Long Spring and Summer :(

I hope we take a look at Mike Lynch for AD. However, I doubt we'll pay for anyone "nationally prominent".
 
Re: RPI 2015 Off Season Thread: Another Long Spring and Summer :(

If anyone cares, Patty Koudys was named as an honorable mention to the All Big Ten Team.

I think that it was free to everyone when I was at RPI. At least I don't remember that others had to pay. Anyway, they should have had to pay people to watch the team when I started. :)
