RPI's sports teams are known as the Engineers. The teams for men's and women's hockey, track and field, indoor track, cross country, football and tennis have always been known as the Engineers, while the rest of the varsity sports teams were known as the Red Hawks until 9/10/09 when the institute announced it would change all team names to the Engineers, reverting to the method used years ago by the school. The pep band will most commonly play at home men's and women's hockey games, as well as home football games. Every home men's hockey and football game is broadcasted by WRPI 91.5 FM, RPI's college radio station.

Sport with stick and puck and ice.

There are a number of hockey games over the course of the season that carry special significance.

Blackout

Blackout, formerly Black Friday, started during the 2003-2004 season to honor the passing of women's hockey coach Bill Cahill and equipment manager Tom Cavosie. This game now takes place on the first home ECAC Hockey game of the season. Free admission is given to all students wearing black, and members of the band are given black t-shirts which they wear over their regular rugby shirts. The team also wears special black jerseys for the game which are raffled off for charity afterwards. In 2010, Black Friday was replaced with Black Saturday. RPI is 7-2-1 all-time in Black Friday games.

Mayor's Cup

The Mayor's Cup is an annual matchup between RPI and Union in January. It consists of a women's game and men's game held in the MVP Arena in Albany, NY. It often has a large turnout, given RPI and Union are both local in the area, making it one of the largest venues the band plays for.


White-Out

White-Out started during the 2004-2005 season under the name "White-Out Wednesday" as a gimmick to draw a crowd for a rare mid-week game. The White-Out game has since become an annual event whose scheduling remains somewhat mysterious to the band. RPI is 2-4 (or 2-5) all-time in White-Out games.

Recent Opponents and Results

2011-2012: White-Out may or may not have been played this year. See Senior Night below for what might have been White-Out.

Football

That other sport.

Big Games

Like for hockey, there are a few football games over the course of the season that carry special significance.

Dutchman's Shoes Trophy Game

Every year, the Engineers play Union for possession of the Dutchman's Shoes Trophy. Dating back to 1886, it is the oldest college football rivalry in New York State. Since 1950 (when the trophy was introduced), Union leads the series 46-16. At the current date, the Shoes reside at Union.

Transit Trophy Game

Every year, the Engineers play Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for possession of the Transit Trophy. Since 1980 (when the trophy was introduced), RPI leads the series 21-10-1. At the current date, the Transit Trophy resides at RPI.

Shot Glass Trophy Game

From 1944 to 2005, the Engineers played the Coast Guard Academy for possession of the Shot Glass Trophy. Coast Guard leads the series 33-19-2, though they've only won 7 times since 1985. The series between the two schools ended following Coast Guard's departure from the Liberty League following the 2005 season. Since RPI won the most recent game of the series, the Shot Glass Trophy resides at RPI in the '87 gym.
