Re: RPI @ Clarkson, Friday, 1/31/2014
I was in my second year of Medical School-came back for almost every game since I was just across the river in Albany. That Colgate game was pretty well attended and the crowd was just ugly. I have been looking back though all my programs to see who the ref was(totally lost control of that game early) but here in NJ I do not go back that far with my memorabilia. The older stuff is upstate NY.
I remember that game, too. Yes, it was in January 1968.
My parents, who lived in Hoosick Falls, brought a group of people from their church to see that game and my mother was sort of mortified at the way it turned out.
They managed to talk the same group into another RPI hockey game the next year. My mother assured everybody that the Colgate game had been totally atypical and nothing like that was likely to happen again.
The fireworks weren't quite as extensive - but the game they went to was the Middlebury game - the one at which Tom Nichol cold-cocked one of the Middlebury players during the postgame handshake.
