Since Coach Leaman announced that he will be leaving Union for Providence, I figured I'd show Providence videos this week.
These three videos are actual footage from the last time the Friars made the Frozen Four and National Championship game.
The 1985 Frozen Four sounds like it was a classic with both semifinal games being decided in triple overtime, and the championship game was a 2-1 affair won by RPI.
You got to love the old school TV broadcast, the Hannibal Lecter-like facemasks, and definitely the Providence full hockey pants. I think Leaman should definitely bring back the full pants.
Also, take a look at #7 for RPI (1:20 mark of third video). It's Mark Jooris, who is the father of Union freshman forward Josh Jooris. It's definitely a little weird seeing a #7 and the name Jooris on the back of a RPI jersey. And look out for Tim Army, who is the coach that Leaman is replacing at Providence.
Enjoy!

Awesome. Gotta love that Scott Gordon is in net and Chris Terreri is in on the other side.
