Hey neato, a summer hockey rumor that I haven't heard in previous seasons.
And by the way would someone *please* start the "RPI moving to Hockey East"
rumor?  I haven't heard that one yet this summer and the list has a 5
consecutive year streak to protect...  :-)
 
Dunno if they'd insist upon this in all buildings or grandfather the
current barns, but if it would be the former then there are a few rinks
(including Lynah) where widening the sheet can only be accomplished with
explosives and duct tape.  Always duct tape.
