Your program's Mount Rushmore

You have to include Gino. He took over a program that was terrible - I really thought the program was so bad that it may not ever come back. Rube Bjorkman had a .447 winning %. Gino brought the program back to life and won 3 NCs. I think you need to include Blais too. I would add Hrkac in place of Johnson.

I added Hrkac as well as Gasparini. We'll do a poll eventually to narrow it down to four.

Jamie Ram...I forgot about him. That guy was pretty impressive. I remember him standing on his head more than a few times.
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

tUMD:

Chico Resch, Jim Johnson, Mark Pavelich, John Harrington. Just suggestions....Brett Hull is obvious.

I havent been around/alive as long as some of the other RPI fans but if I were to choose 4 for my Mt. Rushmore it would go like this:

Ned Harkness
George Servinis
Frank Chiarelli
Mike Adessa

So tough to choose just 4.
Click to expand...

Yes on Harkness and Chiarelli, but I would take Oates over Servinis and probably also take Pres. Houston over Addesa.
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

If there can be more than four, I suggest adding Pat Micheletti to Minnesota. His 269 pts are second for the Gophers all time to John Mayasich's 298.
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

I should wait for JJFP or someone who actually, y'know, KNOWS something to answer, but here are mine for Notre Dame:

Lefty Smith (iconic coach, brought ND back as a varsity program, coached almost 20 years here, beloved administrator after his coaching tenure)
Dave Poulin (Hobey Baker finalist, most accomplished NHL alum (>500 career points), as ND head coach led us to our first NCAA appearance, gracefully stepped aside when Jackson became available, spearheaded funding efforts for new arena)
Jack Brownschidle (only 2-time ND hockey All-American, second-most accomplished NHL alum (>200 career points as a blueliner))
Jeff Jackson -- now approaching a decade at the helm, has brought ND hockey from "also-ran" to one of the consistent contenders. If he ever manages to break through and win it all, it would cement him to the top spot.


Other people I considered:
Andy Slaggert (Has a 20-year tenure with the program, spanning career ND player under Smith and his protege Ric Shafer, and as assistant coach under Shafer, Poulin, and Jackson. Team USA Five Nations Tourney coach.) ... I actually initially had him as the 4th before Jackson, but thought that might be a bit ridiculous to most other peoples' impressions.
Greg Meredith -- all time leading goal-scorer at ND, Rhodes Scholarship finalist, Calgary Flames player, Harvard assistant coach
Don Jackson -- leader of the early return-to-varsity teams, multi-time Stanley Cup winner in the NHL (I believe he and Bill Nyrop are the only ones from ND), has had a long pro coaching career as well.
Brian Walsh -- perhaps the first true ND hockey "star", elite scorer in the WCHA after the return to varsity status.
The only three recent players I might consider would be: David Brown, MVG, and Condra, and I don't think any of them makes the cut versus those above.
