Kind of a harsh statement as I have only seen it existing going back to 1963.

For contrast, what teams would you cite as having discipline?

Army. And if you want to base it on penalties taken, Cornell.

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say Army is disciplined, I've been watching them for years, they mix it up like any other big D1 team if that is the direction the game is going. I've seen a number of game misconducts on them this year and they recently had a game misconduct for slew footing. There are probably other teams out there Flaggy that would be a better choice. Anyway, they're playing Princeton now, (a Wednesday night OOC for them with a 5:30pm start), so we'll see how they do against Princeton (they lost earlier this year to Brown). They have some pretty decent freshman this year so they will improve over the course of the next few seasons. BTW I saw that Jim Brown post too on the other web site, unbelievable.

Jen and i are at this game right now with Princeton leading 1-0. 7 penalties in the first period and early second, with 3 on Army. Lots of shots and one of the most wide open games you can imagine. Will post later if I have time. Attendance is kind of marginal(meaning almost no one is here)

During 2 out of 3 of their last league championships Union was 11th and 12 th in the league for avg PMs . Harvard is another club that is always among the least penalized. I realize stats can be manipulated in many ways but what I see from RPI teams year after year is more troubling. Some RPI players seem clueless about game situations where no matter what an opponent might do to provoke you , you have to restrain yourself or risk changing momentum or worse the outcome of the game. A careful examination of box scores will show the repeat offenders in this area. It is also obvious that opposing coaches and players know exactly who can be goaded into a stupid penalty.

Puckman needs your help....... Puckman is the fun, light-hearted face of our hockey teams, and helps get fans of all ages excited and involved. By giving a gift to purchase a new suit, you would help continue the tradition of Puckman and boost school spirit for another generation to come..... http://alumni.rpi.edu/s/1225/WeRGold/index.aspx?sid=1225&gid=1&pgid=4718

hi gang...the box was moved to the home team side, and split into separated boxes during renovations - it used to be a single bench separated by an off-ice official (!!!). Rumor had it Mike's head exploded when he saw it's location on the visitor side. As a segue to the discipline,orlack thereof being a trademark - John Carter as a freshman got into a fight in the 'commingled' penalty box...against one of the Canadian college warmup teams at the start of the season...
...sorry I don't have much more to add, other than the intrawebs is no place to be a tough guy...carry on and LGR!

The game ended 4-1. It may have been one of the few times it was actually warmer inside Baker Rink than it was outside! I think the place was less than 1/2 full(around 1000 seats taken). Oddly, for an Army Princeton game, we met at least 10 RPI fans from this area that attend most of the games. This started with a discussion about discipline but this game was anything but that. The only reason the penalty count was not higher was the officials called two different games(as often happens) and let everything go after a while.

I would be more likely to contribute if they brought back the Swarm.
I really preferred the Bee. Fond memories of some of the mascots going back years. Somewhere here I have a great picture of the Lake Superior (Bird/Duck/Whatever he was) picking up and carrying off a very young Jenny during the November 1985 Christmas Tournament game that we won).

Shoot, Doc, didn't Seamore the Sea Duck introduce himself to Jenny at the time?

I really enjoyed Swarm myself. I have several great memories of him, but the one that I'll never forget was back in '85 in Detroit before the championship game when he came out on the ice before the game waving a Michigan State flag in front of several thousand Spartan fans which helped put them on our side.

It'd certainly be a good counter to Cornell constructing additional pylons.

He picked her up and carried her off(she weighs about 90 pounds so it is not much of a chore). I remember telling him, if he takes her, he has to keep her and pay for her jewelry and furs. That stopped him quickly and he brought her back. That tournament was great, staying at the old Holiday Inn with all the teams and drinking at the bar with the entire Lake Superior gang(players and parents). I got totally destroyed and could not find our room(it was difficult to find the elevator up button while crawling on the floor). Those years were just such a blast for us-we rarely missed a game and never missed an RPI tournament.

I recall the commentator mentioned that on ESPN's coverage of the game.
