Pittsburgh, Pa. - Robert Morris University has added Luke Regner to the men's hockey staff in the role of Hockey Operations Coordinator.

Regner comes to the Colonials after serving as student assistant for four seasons with the men's hockey program at the University of Wisconsin. Regner graduated with a Bachelor's in Business Administration in May of 2017. Regner also worked in the athletics department as a video assistant with both football and hockey programs.

"We are very pleased to add Luke to our staff," said Colonials head coach Derek Schooley.

"Luke comes very highly recommended from the Wisconsin staff. Kody, Michael and I felt with his experiences in Madison that he would be a good fit not only professionally but personally.  We look forward to welcoming Luke to the Colonial Hockey Family."

"It is a great honor to have the opportunity to be a part of the program here at Robert Morris," said Regner. "I can't thank Coach Schooley and the staff enough for letting me come on board and creating a great culture here. I look forward to contributing in any way I can."

At Wisconsin, Regner worked most recently under Badgers head coach Tony Granato, a former Pittsburgh Penguins assistant and head coach of the 2018 U.S. men's ice hockey Olympic team.

"Luke is an outstanding young man with a great work ethic," said Granato. "He did a lot of work for us behind the scenes. He is organized and a great team player who will go above and beyond to do everything to help you and your program. He's a first class young man."

Regner's duties with Robert Morris include organizing the day-to-day program operations as well as video coordinator. 

The Colonials open the 2017-18 season with a home exhibition vs. Ottawa on Sept. 30, followed by a trio of Atlantic Hockey conference road games to start the regular season. Robert Morris returns to the RMU Island Sports Center for the home opener on October 20 hosting Army West Point for a two-game series.
