TROY, N.Y. – The Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI)
men’s hockey team hosts the 59th Annual Rensselaer Holiday
Tournament this weekend, welcoming three teams to the Houston Field
House for games on Friday and Saturday. In addition to the
Engineers, Bentley College, Lake Superior State University and
Union College will be a part of the action.
The nation’s oldest holiday tournament begins on Friday at
4pm as Union and Lake Superior State face-off. The Engineers host
Bentley at 7pm. Saturday’s games will also take place at 4pm
and 7pm, with the Engineers playing the late game regardless of
Friday's outcomes.
RPI, which is led by fourth-year head coach Seth Appert, is
currently 7-5-1 with a 3-1-0 ECAC Hockey mark. The Engineers, who
have won their own holiday tournament 16 times, have not claimed
the title since 2001 when they defeated Massachusetts, 3-2 in
overtime on December 29.
