Moon Township, Pa – As the Robert Morris men's hockey team gets set to take the ice again in 2023-24, fans recently had the opportunity to revisit the history of the program by taking part in choosing an all-time team.
Voted is completed and the results are in. Over 1,000 ballots were submitted and helped decide who the RMU all-time greats are, with the team consisting of 10 forwards, five defenseman and two goalies.
"I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the winners of the fan voting for the RMU All-Time Team," Head Coach
Derek Schooley said. "The fans had a challenge but for the most part got it right. These players not only were some of the all-time greats of Colonial hockey but the most popular with the fans and the community. Congratulations to each of the former student-athletes that make up our first all-time team."
