Wayne Wilson is carving out a nice CV for himself at another engineering school out west. Managed transition from D3 to D1. 3 wins at the NCAA regional level. Won a NC as a player at BGSU...

Since losing both games at Mariucci Classic on Jan 2/3, RIT is 15-4-2. Not shabby t'all.

I think your source is correct. Like Union, RIT went D-I in hockey too late to be grandfathered in.

I enjoyed the Dennehy read... and think we all remember the scholarship 'play up' nonsense. We noticed similarities with RIT & Union as well. As Union started to become more competitive, they recruited some more mature players. It seems they've eased up on the greybeards... a bit. ;) On the scholarships? Clear as mud. And there are no specific requirements to disclose anything in particular. And I'm not seeking NCAA imposed 'clarity,' either. Drop the puck and let's play.

Thanks for the update.

I recall a story from a number of years ago where RPI apparently scored a tying goal late in the third period of a game at the Field House. The RPI players raised their sticks in celebration and the goal judge turned on the red light, but the referee signaled no goal.

However, the ref then went behind the goal and consulted with the goal judge, normally something that would only be done if the ref wasn't sure of his call. After the conference, the ref skated back out in front and once again signaled no goal. RPI lost the game.

NCAA rules prohibited the media from talking to on-ice officials after a game, but a reporter for a local newspaper (the Times-Union, maybe?) figured that the rule did not prohibit the media from talking to an off-ice official such as a goal judge. He sought out the goal judge who had been consulted on the play and asked him what he had said to the ref.

The goal judge said he had told the ref that he had clearly seen the puck cross the goal line and it was a good goal. He said he had no idea why the ref had bothered to consult him if he (the ref) didn't want to listen to what he (the goal judge) had to say.

I guess stories like this have become a thing of the past.

Same thing happened in the playoffs in 2007, although much earlier in the game. Later, the same ref awarded Colgate a penalty shot; the last time we had one scored on us. I never saw Binda ref another game.

Not at all. A bit of a tough year for him and a terrible season for the team.

I had the honor of meeting Luke before dropping the first puck at the Brown game. He was a fine gentleman expressing sorrow for the passing of my brother and I did likewise regarding his father. He gave us a custom coin that they made for his father (it's a military thing where officers have coins they give for a job well done, a significant event, etc.). It's a cherished part of our family's collection. He's a tribute to his family and if his year has been anything like ours its a tribute to his inner strength that he was able to do as well as he did. Taking some time off might be a good thing.

Are any of the regular posters in here going to Boston? Just curious.
