SCHENECTADY — This weekend, Union hockey assistant coach Ben
Barr will be helping the Dutchmen find a way to beat Capital
Region rival Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The teams meet
Friday at Houston Field House and Saturday at Messa Rink.
Six years ago, Barr was on the other side, helping the Engineers
beat the Dutchmen.
Barr scored two of the most memorable goals in the history of the
RPI-Union rivalry since the Dutchmen became a Division I program in
1991. In Game 2 of the 2003 ECAC Hockey tournament the night of
March 8, he tallied two strange short-handed goals within 50
seconds of each other, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 3-2 RPI victory
that gave the Engineers a sweep of their first-round series.
