Back in 1985, Thanksgiving weekend, RPI played host to RIT.  They had both
  won their respective NC$$ division championship the previous spring.  RPI
  won that game 3-1, but the score was tied 1-1 through to the last 1:10 of
  the third period.  RPI added an empty-net goal to ice it, but the two teams
  played a very even game.
 
  That was back in RIT's glory years, when they won two national titles
  (1983/85) and came in third twice (84/86), under Brian Mason (who went to
  Dartmouth, I believe) and Bruce Delventhal (now at Union).  RIT also won
  the SIT (Syracuse Invitational) in 1985/86, and played in it a few other
  times.  They used to schedule 6-8 Div. I games each year, including an
  annual game at Clarkson, but with all of the NC$$ scheduling cutbacks, that
  is harder to do.  Even one of the Alaskan teams (Anchorage, I believe) came
  to Rochester in that time frame, and RIT went north the next year.
