As a fellow Hockey-L 'alumni type', I feel that I must chime in on the ever expanding 'sieve' cheer. Whilst at RPI in 1982-86, we sieved the opposing goalie whenever the Engineers scored a goal (which in those days was rather frequently). My question to you all is: "When was the first incidence that you can remember hearing the sieve cheer?". The earliest I can recall was Oct 1982, when I was a freshman. I am certain that the tradition must go back somewhat further. Regarding Mike Addessa and RPI, the 1984-85 team had a 30 game winning streak which started after an 8-7 loss to North Dakota (an 8-2 victory over North Dakota started the streak, btw), and ended with a 3-3 tie against Lake Superior State in the second game of a total goals scored series of the NC$$ quarter- finals (RPI had won the first game 7-3). The unbeaten streak continued into the next season (after winning the championship by defeating Minnesota Duluth 6-5 in triple OT in the semis (Brett Hull played that game for UMD) and Providence 2-1 in the finals (Chris Terreri was the star goalie for Prov. that year) until it reached 38 games. Yale was the team to end the unbeaten s streak with an 8-5 upending of the Engineers at Houston Field House. Good luck and good hockey to the Phinal Phour Rich Boehme [log in to unmask] RPI '86
