From the RMU Press Release
“Moon Township, Pa. – July 22, 2008 – Head coach Derek Schooley of the Robert Morris University men’s hockey team has announced the addition of 12 student-athletes to his team as part of the Class of 2012. The group of 12 incoming recruits will join three transfers from Wayne State University and 14 returnees for the 2008-09 season.
The 12 recruits from Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri and Ontario, Canada bring a wealth of experience from several Junior “A” hockey leagues. “My assistant coaches Chris Kostopoulos & Joe Tuset did an excellent job bringing in quality players and strong student-athletes,” said Schooley. “This class has a lot to live up to in replacing our 14 graduating seniors as not only hockey players but as people in the Robert Morris community. We feel they are up to the challenge of that and will continue the building of the Robert Morris hockey program.”
Four of the incoming freshmen are from Pennsylvania, including local players Furman South, Ron Cramer and Josh Jones of western Pennsylvania. The class of 2012 includes eight forwards, three defensemen and a single goalie. “We feel that we have added some elements to our team that we may not have had in the past,” said assistant coach Tuset. “The staff here at Robert Morris is very excited about our incoming class and we look forward to seeing what this group of talented young men can do for our program.”
Robert Morris will open its 2008-09 season by hosting Ryerson for an exhibition game Sunday, Oct. 5, at the Island Sports Center. Regular season action will begin Oct. 11 when the Colonials travel to Merrimack. The first home series will take place Oct. 17-18, when Ferris State comes to town for a pair.”
