I haven't seen DiPaolo on the bench all season, so I suspect his departure
occurred in the fall. I don't think he was a scholarship player, since
RPI seems to have found some more to give for next year's class, and Brad
Tapper. RPI had also offered Dan Evans of the Capital Selects a full
ride, but he ultimately opted for Clarkson.
Mauro was a lot of fun to watch, and many fans wondered what it would be
like to see a line with Pete Gardiner and Mauro DiPaolo out there.
DiPaolo sported a huge frame, 6'5" and 240 lbs, and was very easy to spot.
However I suspect Fridgen tried to increase team speed this year, and in
his incoming class, and DiPaolo was simply left out. Wish the best for
him. I certainly have more respect for him than the other recent Engineer
departee, some goalie who the NHL thought had potential....
