Game 1,001 was definitely better\u2014a win.<\/p>\n<p>But game 1,002 on January 26 was outstanding. More than 1,000 fans, dozens of 911±¬ΑΟ men\u2019s hockey alumni, and family and friends turned out to honor Augustine for reaching the 1,000-game milestone a week before.<\/p>\n<p>They not only had a chance to applaud Augustine, they saw the second win of a two-game set with Delaware. The 1\u20130 thriller featured great goaltending, end-to-end action, crunching hits, and a blistering one-timer into the bottom right corner by defenseman Alex Lund for the only tally of the game.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1163\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1163\" style=\"width: 364px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-third_column wp-image-1163\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine-364x243.jpg\" alt=\"Joe Augustine\" width=\"364\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine-364x243.jpg 364w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.uri.edu\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/magazine\/sites\/13\/2019\/03\/augustine.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1163\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">911±¬ΑΟ men\u2019s club hockey coach Joe Augustine on the job at game 1,002.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In pregame ceremonies, Augustine was presented with a congratulatory plaque by Kathy Collins, vice president for student affairs, and Joe Wilbur, coordinator of club sports. \u201cThe University offers its huge congratulations on all of his accomplishments,\u201d Collins said. \u201cHe has not only coached 1,000 games, but I am sure he has had an impact on thousands of young people.
