Re: RPI Pros V

Really nice to hear Oates give credit and thanks to his college coach Mike Addesa. I watch these HofF induction ceremonies every year-most of the speeches are quite good but i don't think I have seen one with as much emotion shown-Adam was so close to tears you could hear his voice cracking. As many other players have been-a true credit to the game. Congrats to a great player who deserved his induction and here's hoping for great success for him as coach of the Capitols (unless of course they are playing the Rangers).:)
 
Re: RPI Pros V

I mentioned on the main RPI thread that SA was at the HHoF induction ceremony to honor Oates. Obviously they could have met almost anywhere, but I don't think that Oates has been at RPI since SA became coach. Oates didn't attend the '85 team reunion a couple of years ago and his induction to the Ring of Honor was prior to SA. Does anyone have any info?
 
Re: RPI Pros V

Well, he never came to RPI, but he once was a committal. Does anyone know where Nick Quinn is now? He played the last two seasons in the OHL, and this year he was a recruit for U. Guelph, but he is not on their roster.
 
Re: RPI Pros V

Patrick Cullen had his first game yesterday, was hoping to score a goal... Didn't get it but looks like he did have an assist on his team's only goal in their 4-1 loss. http://ehck.de/ehc/index.php

Also, from the article announcing his signing with the team, looks like they're nicknamed "Rot-Weißen"-or Red-Whites, so basically he's back in Cherry and White :):p

I have no doubt that they had met. Here's a T/U article detailing the job Appert has done in reaching out to hockey alums -- from all eras.
Includes Gary Kearns quote: "...That's why so many of the alumni are so much more involved now. It's that appreciation Seth has for what the alumni and the previous players put into the program."

I though that was such a bad decision for him to decommit....Quinn Sr. no doubt thought he knew what was best for Nick. Too bad.

They could have met almost anywhere and probably have met somewhere. I just don't recall reading that Oates was at RPI since he was inducted into the RoH. Has Hershey played at Albany yet this year? They could have met there.

I know they've played at the Crunch; most recently this past Friday.
 
Re: RPI Pros V

probably wasn't the start he was looking for but Kurt Colling's team, the Hoosac Owls, lost to Eric Cavosie's Albany Academy squad 5-0 yesterday. Would have been much worse if not for Hoosac's goalie who btw is only a Soph. so there's something to build with.

An article in today's Harrisburg Patriot-News contains a brief section about Oates' return to Glens Falls, where he spent the 1985-86 season as a member of the Adirondack Red Wings.

Sounds like, even for a future Hall of Famer coming from an NCAA championship team, the transition from college hockey to the pros wasn't a walk in the park.
