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. Larry
