CHE PLAYOFFS: RMU Advances....

2011-02-28T07:41:00.003-05:00

Sunday would find the Colonials in a simular position as last season as they would face off against Fredonia in the playoffs.. RMU and Fredonia have qualified for the National tournament and hold the #2 and #3 spot in the CHE. RMU holds the 2-0 advantage in season play and looked to make it a perfect 3-0 to get to the finals..
A slow and sloppy first period found the Colonials up 1-0 with a Erik Manetta shot that gets by Fredonia Goalie Jay Hall. The second period would find the Colonials on a powerplay and with some help... Fredonia hooked its way into a 5-3. RMU would take advantage and score two powerplay goals as Gary Delehanty and Dan Clark find the twine behind Hall. One minute later Jeremy Martin would sneak one past Hall to give RMU a 4-0 lead. Fredonia would answer with a Powerplay goal and add a 5-5 goal to get 2 in the second. RMU wasn't done, Eric Bogden, Jeremy Martin, Jack Erath, and Broc McCroskey would all add second period goals to give RMU a 8-2 advantage with 20 minutes remaining. Erik Manetta would light the lamp again in the third and Fredonia would get one past Matt Wynn to make it a 9-3 Final.
Matt Wynn made 28 saves in the win.
Brenden Boyle lead all players with a 5 point night.

RMU meets Cal U in a 3 game final starting Friday night.

SPECIAL CHE AWARDS:

The Top CHE Goaltender award went Matt Wynn with a 6-1 Record in CHE Play.
Manager of the Year Award went to Kalynn Lavella, a well deserved award!

RMU out shot PSU 51-21.

RMU would need to beat the #6 seed PSU Altoona for the 3rd time this season to "EARN A CHANCE TO DANCE" at the National Tourney.
PSU came out flying and ready to play, but RMU stuck first with an early first period goal. PSU would get one back late in the period to tie the first 1-1. RMU would get the only goal in the second to take a 2-1 lead into the 3rd period. With 20 minutes to play Altoona struck first in the third, 2-2 with 13 minutes to play.... RMU would take the lead back 47 seconds later and cap off the win with a PowerPlay goal to seal the deal 4-2.
RMU out shot PSU 36-28 and didn't lose a period of hockey all weekend!

RMU Regular season comes to a close.....

2011-02-07T10:32:00.004-05:00

The 2010-2011 seasons comes to a close with a convincing win at Fredonia University.
RMU should find themselves ranked 3rd in the Atlantic Conference and 2nd in the CHE standings. A 16-5-1 record is a strong showing, but the real season starts at regionals Feb 18th and 19th. RMU will face the #10 ranked Atlantic team in a match to go to Nationals. RMU will again be looking to play their way into Nationals and make a mark as one of the top teams in the country.
CHE could come down to a re-match from last season. RMU will have to knock out FSU again to get to the finals, but after a strong showing at Steel Hall.... We are looking to get there.. one shift at a time!

Thank you to everyone for the support and we look forward to pushing the rest of the season to the limit!

RMU jumped on Richmond early and took a 3-0 lead to the locker room after 1.
RMUs sloppy play saw Richmond put 4 straight into RMU's net... At the 9:17 mark Broc McCroskey shelved a back hand to put the Colonials up 5-4 after 2.
The third period would find the Colonials with many opportunities, and connecting on two of them. Manetta and Hosko sealed the deal to push the Colonials ahead, 7-4.

On to Sunday: Albany.... Game of the weekend for the Colonials!
RMU out skated the Great Danes to every puck.... Jason Hosko opened the scoring up with a PP goal on the first PP of the night! Will Rose would finish an Eric Bogden feed to have the Colonials up 2-0 after one. More of the same in the second.... Brenden Boyle wouldn't be denied as he smokes goaltender C. Farrell to have the lead jump to 3. Albany would hit the board with a defensive zone breakdown late in a shift to make it 3-1....
Gary Delehanty would add a PP goal (MALKIN STYLE) off the face off to move the Colonials up 4-1 and that is how it would finish..
The PK was incredible over the 3 games... 9-10 kills and a few 5-3s!

Was a great weekend of hockey and team building.

DIVISION III Heavy weights squared off
at CONSOL ENERY CENTER

Robert Morris took another first period lead into the locker room after one period to watch the lead slip away at the Consol Energy Center Thursday night. The final score of the game was 7-5 in favor of the #1 ranked Cal U men's team. The game hosted over 2600 fans that were treated to a very exciting game.
The teams were both honored and emotional as a very nice tribute/ceremony for Patrick McIlvain was given. McIlvain is a former Cal U Hockey player who enlisted in the military and was critically wounded while in combat in Afghanistan.
RMU was glad to be a part of the event and Thank Pat and his family for the Military service and wish them the best!

Thank you to the CAL U Staff for the opportunity...

RMU NATIONALS 2010

2010-03-18T08:22:00.003-04:00

Robert Morris University gets to the DANCE...

RMU finds themselves in a pool of champions. The way rankings fell, RMU had two legit #1 seeds in their pool. A wake up call to the dance was given Wednesday morning as RMU met eventual Champions Saginaw Valley State. The champs started early with 5 goals in the first period and never looked back!
Thursday would bring a new day and a better game... but same results. #1 Ranked College of the Canyons jumped on the Colonials with 2 first period goals. RMU struck back with a PP goal from Jeremy Martin. But the end of 2 periods would find RMU down 5-2. Goals from Erath and Faulkner would help the cause but College of the Canyons wasn't done as they added 2 even strenght goals to win 7-4.
Friday became Senior night at the Nationals! John Dominick with the start in goal in his last game in a RMU uniform, made a lasting impression....
A glove save in the 1st period to keep Florida off the board is a save that ALL RMU players and fans will remember. RMU hit the score board first with a PP goal from Dan Clark. The first period would end with RMU up 1-0 over the Gators. The second period would be a different story, the Gators jumped on the Colonials with a quick PP goal to bring the score to a deadlock... Rmu and the Gators would exchange the next few goals to bring the score to 3-3 after 2. The gators had enough and scored 5 straight goals in the third, even with the never quit style of the Colonials the 3 goals in a row were not enough to put the Gators away. RMU falls 8-6 in their NATIONAL DANCE DEBUT....

Success or Bust?

"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
T. Roosevelt.

Learning to dance is not easy, but if you never get there.... YOU WILL NEVER KNOW!

Great Season RMU.... GREAT SEASON!

WHY PLAY FOR RMU?

2009-01-28T11:31:00.005-05:00

History of RMU Hockey

Robert Morris University has fielded an ice hockey team since the 1995 season, when the Colonials joined the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Hockey Association (now College Hockey East). Within two years of starting the program, RMU won their first WPCHA championship in 1998. After two runner-up finishes and one more WPCHA title over the next three seasons, the Colonials decided to go independent while joining the D-III ranks of the ACHA. The move proved to be fortuitous. The Colonials finished that season ranked number one in the country after defeating defending champion University of Wyoming in the ACHA D-III national championship game in Atlanta, Georgia. The rest, they say, is history. The win caught the attention of university officials, and within two years Robert Morris University became the first western Pennsylvanian school to add NCAA D-I men’s hockey. With more and more student athletes coming to RMU for a top-notch education and to play hockey, it was decided by the then-current coaching staff to move the D-III team up to the D-I club level and to create another team at the D-III level. To date, RMU remains one of the few schools in the country to have men’s hockey teams competing at the NCAA D-I, D-I club, and D-III club levels, all of which are successful.

About our D-III Club Team

Our D-III club team competes at the ACHA D-III level, where we’re a member of the College Hockey East league, comprised of the University of Pittsburgh, California University of PA, Fredonia University, Penn State Altoona and Berhend, St. Vincent College, West Virginia University, Pittsburgh University of Johnstown and Indiana University of PA.

We are also one of a handful of ACHA D-I, D-III programs with an NCAA D-I team at the same school. We are also looking into a D-II team next season. Both club teams are fortunate to have a very good relationship with NCAA head coach Derek Schooley, and since the inception of the NCAA program the D-I team has had three players move up to join his team (Shawn Bakke, Joey Olsen, Karac Davis) and numerous others invited to his month-long training camp.
