ALTOONA, Pa. -- The sound of skates slashing through the ice filled Clearview Federal Arena as the Robert Morris hockey programs held their first practice Thursday after being reinstated.
Both the men's and women's program had been largely successful since their inception in 2004-05, with both programs taking trips to the NCAA Tournament and conference championships prior to former Robert Morris president Chris Howard briefly eliminating the programs in 2021 before they were reestablished.
Now, men's head coach Derek Schooley and women's head coach Logan Bittle are joining forces to relaunch the proud programs one step at a time.
