RPI 2026 Off-Season: Please Pardon Our Appearance As We Upgrade This Area

At the risk of leaving others out, I would add the Angers-Goulet brothers to your list. Mathieu is an orthopedic surgeon and Alex is a very skilled cardiac surgeon.

Didn’t Alex save the life of one of his teammates when the teammate got his neck sliced open by a skate? I think that happened up in Cheel. Knew right then he was going to be a successful doctor.

I do not recall which one it was.

it is one thing to tell recruits "x guy who used to play here made a bunch of money in hedge funds investing in technology", thats going to make most kids eyes glaze over even if theyre curious about finance or tech. if you say he did all that and used some of that success to invest back into junior hockey, in a league you have heard of or maybe played in, that is a lot more significant to a young player. they 99% chance they immediately forget the name of his hedge fund within minutes, but they'll remember hearing "part owner of the OHL's Owen Sound Attack"

It is a good advertisement for RPI any way you frame it. Of course there a number of kids that are primarily chasing an NHL dream but I think there's an audience that will appreciate success in other fields, even if there's not a hockey hook.

Among the many benefits of an RPI education, it also has a lot to offer in terms of positioning students for careers in finance given the various courses and majors that develop quantitative skills--if you want to make big bucks ASAP, that's the industry that has some of the best odds.

Alex was indeed among the people who sprung into action to aid Brock Higgs in Huntsville. In addition to the alert first responders, there was good fortune in that major arteries had not been damaged. Several local papers ran stories about the situation. https://www.timesunion.com/sports/article/When-life-is-a-game-of-inches-940170.php?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGltZXN1bmlvbi5jb20vc3BvcnRzL2FydGljbGUvV2hlbi1saWZlLWlzLWEtZ2FtZS1vZi1pbmNoZXMtOTQwMTcwLnBocA==&time=MTc3ODg2MjkxMzA1NA==&rid=YWUxMDcwOWQtYjEzOS00NGQ1LThmZmMtNmU0N2YzNjZjMGQy&sharecount=MA==

Or, you can just marry Jenny

That is taking marrying well to an art form. Becoming a cosmetic and skin cancer surgeon and then marrying a wealthy beautiful woman - and I owe it all to an RPI education! Now that is an advertisement for the school!!!!!!!!!
