But he retired to that area, so I'll forgive him. Besides, if that's the reason he's disqualified, then they may as well remove Harkness too.

Good point, and Ned sinned twice since he also was at the Salt Dome.

Possible. But the HFH/admin often fails at the seemingly obvious things. DD is not a new advertiser - only the on ice logo is new. I suspect the campus food concessionaire is to blame.

To be fair, the concessions are also a fundraising opportunity for the other sports programs, given it's other teams that typically man it. How much does RPI get bottom line for a generic coffee vs. what would they get for a Dunkin' Donuts brand coffee?

I'd be willing to bet you a pack of Sharpies that coffee sales would jump if they sold DD coffee as opposed to the pond water they now sell. People love good coffee. Give the peeps what they want and profits follow. #commerce

I thought this wasn't going to happen this year.

If RPI wants to be the only Division I college hockey program to designate one of its home games as Autism Awareness Night, I suppose that's a noble thing for RPI to do.

Still, it seems to me that if RPI forbids the band to play and forbids the goal horn to sound and generally discourages any sort of raucous cheering, RPI is giving up a considerable portion of its home ice advantage for that one game.

Nobody asked me, but if they had, I would have suggested that Autism Awareness Night be scheduled against a non-league opponent, instead of a league game.

I shudder to think what any Division I FBS football coach would say if somebody proposed that one of his home games be designated as Autism Awareness Day.

I agree with you 100%. This Friday’s game against Maine would have been a far better choice. It’s going t9 be a lot quieter game with a 4 PM weekday start and having the students on break means a limited band at best.
Happy Holidays to all my fellow posters out there!

HFH has been getting quieter & quieter the last couple of years. I sit on the student side & it’s nowhere near the volume it was just 2yrs ago. Just to get a different perspective, last year I sat on the “townie” side for a game. I was amazed/saddened how little noise came from the opposite side. Now, I know, last year was an atrocious year but.....

In a few years there won't be a need for Autism Awareness Day. Seriously, it probably only needs a winning team to start to reverse that trend.

As you know, since the RPI Tourney has stopped I have been attending regular season games, usually while class is in session, student attendance is nowhere near what it was then for many reasons, but the enthusiasm is not nearly what it was in the mid- to late 1960s with teams at a similar level or even worse.

1) there's wi-fi in the field house now, so most students are unaware theres a hockey game going on where they could get hit with a frozen black disk.

2) there's pizza there, so when they aren't hungry anymore, they leave

3) they don't pay for tickets, so they don't care.

4) A lot of RPI students probably don't know what a hockey puck is.

Do you mean that they don't talk about "frictionless pucks" in physics lectures anymore? (or the spoonerism of that which seemed very funny when I was a freshman )

When'd they start subsidizing the student tickets? I remember having to pay...
