Your program's Mount Rushmore

Okay, so Mt. Rushmore has 4, and at the same time, maybe you want to entertain an optional 5th slot under certain circumstances?


In some cases you are combining administrators and donors with coaches and players. Maybe have 4 votes solely for the coaches and players, and an optional fifth that only applies in some cases to administrators and donors ?

In other words, in some cases, you are picking the top 4 in the program's history, while in other cases, there would not even be a program at all if it were not for one outstanding individual. Why conflate the two? have the vote be for the top 4 in program history while having a 5th spot only for those programs that needed someone to start /revive them?


For example, even though Penn State doesn't have a team yet, they already have one person on their Mt.Rushmore, Terry Pegula.

Basically, what I am trying to suggest is that the vote for 4 be for the top 4 in program history, once the program has started (or been revived), with a special additional place for people like Terry Pegula or RPI President Houston, who brought the program back yet wasn't much of a figure in program history after that one essential initial step.

I think the fun thing is that everyone will have their own criteria for how they select their 4. Ultimately, we'll see how everything shakes out, but I don't think I would select 5 for a Mount Rushmore.
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

If we're going to include donors, Harold Alfond could go on Maine's list. There simply isn't a program without the cash he poured into the coffers. He's a version of Terry Pegula, except he didn't single-handedly destroy college hockey :p

One last one for SLU: Terry Slater 167 points in just 3 years. My father would lose it if he wasn't at least listed in the SLU greatest list.

And he'd be right.

St. Lawrence: Joe Marsh, Rob Perani, Derek Gustafson, Dan Laperriere, Brian McColgan, Brian Macfarlane, Brandon Dietrich, Erik Anderson, Gary Weicker, Pete McGeough, Kent Carlson, Jamie Baker, Pete Lappin, Ron Mason, Bill Torrey, Mike Keenan, Jacques Martin, Ray Shero

Hope I'm not being too picky, but I believe it's actually Gray Weicker, not Gary.
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

Nominees to start Air Force's list: Eric Ehn, Tim Kirby, Jacques Lamoureux - Hobey finalists. Coach Frank Serratore. Maybe Vic Heyliger? Chuck Delich - all time scorer?
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

To put it up for debate with my fellow SLU fans, since my experience as a fan is shorter than theirs, just curious if Burke Murphy or Paul DiFrancesco (sp?) would/could replace any of those nominated? I tend to agree with TimU that Gusto and Dietrich are iffy choices, could have been great but didn't stay long enough IMO. What are your thoughts?
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

My RIT list - strictly in the DI era:

Coach Wayne Wilson - winninging coach in RIT history, only DI coach for RIT
Simon Lambert - RIT's only Hobey Baker finalist
Jared DeMichael - goaltender of RIT's Frozen Four team
Dan Ringwald - one of the best d-men RIT has ever had

Honorable mention:
Chris Tanev - only RIT player ever to play in the NHL
Cameron Burt - over 100 points, one of the leaders in the DI era in points
Jocelyn Guimond - if only for one of the best goaltending performances in a single game with his win over St. Lawrence when he made over 60 saves.

Somewhere on the list of the best all-time forwards for sure. Mt. Rushmore? I'm not so sure about that, but I wouldn't dismiss them either. To me, they're similar to Clarke, Anderson, Lammens, Hurlbut, Heffler, guys like that. Funny that none of us thinks of the one player with his name on the Cup, isn't it?

Agreeable.

I had certainly thought about Rich, but wasn't blown away by his time at SLU. I mean, other than playing a considerable amount of time at defense ;)

So I'm guessing we can't nominate Russ Bartlett or Bobby Torney? Shucks. ;)
 
Re: Your program's Mount Rushmore

Since we are just nominating people, and Butzy is on the list, I say add Aaron Broton as he was the best player on the team the year his brother won the Hobey. (Didn't he have like 72 points as a rookie, and 104 as as a Soph?)

And what about Tim Harrrrrrrrrrrrreeerrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Mike Crowley?

But I'd probably go with the 1st four mentioned.

All great suggestions.

My wife is a BG grad, and she actually does have a login to this forum, but she apparently is bashful about posting so she agreed to let me post her Mount Rushmore for Bowling Green.
