We from RPI have always been proud of our hockey players, though it does seem
that the Boston Bruins are turning into RPI-EAST.  Not only Joe Juneau, but
Adam Oates, John Carter, Grahaem Townshend (sp?), and Ken Hammond have all made
lasting impressions with Boston.  Joe may be the only Powers alum here right
now, but the program has been strong for years.  I look forward to RPI having
3 or 4 great years ahead of them based on their recent recruiting!
 
(Ah, if only John Carter didn't let other things get in way of his ability to
play the game in the NHL.  He might be playing LW on the Oates/Juneau line!
Now wouldn't THAT have been something to see!)
