As much of a Union fan and alum that I am, I have to step in and talk some hockey sense: I played at Union (albiet mostly JV) in the midst of the transition from dIII to dI and I have to say that there were 0 personnel changes in that 1 transition year. The same guys who played the dIII schedule the year before, were playing the dI schedule in '91-'92 I understand that now Union is a much better team than that, but the personnel that Union and Middlebury draw from, is not all that different. Also, my freshman year '88, while I watched in the stands, Union defeated RPI 4-3 in overtime, at Union, while Union was a solid dIII team and RPI was a mediocre dI team (although I did hear later that a few of RPI's "stars" were missing). This was a pre-season game, intended to get the capitol district excited about college hockey. I suspect this may have been one of the precursors to Union making the move to dI - a big rivalry (which has been upheld nicely, read: oranges!) with RPI Anyway, my point is that Middlebury is a {the} premier dIII program, and I would suspect, although they might lose, the game would certainly be competetive. maybe 4-2, or 5-2?? But lets face it, the chances are slim we'll ever see it. Lance D. Harry Union '92 B.U.
