Moon Township, Pa – As the Robert Morris women's hockey team continues to prepare to return for the 2023-24 campaign, fans recently had the opportunity to revisit the history of the program by taking part in picking 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.
"It was incredible to see the fan participation in the voting for our all-time team," RMU women's hockey head coach
Logan Bittle said. "Each and every player voted in by the fans played an integral role in the success of RMU women's hockey. The list spans the entirety of our programs history and highlights those athletes and the contributions they made to build RMU women's hockey into a consistent contender each and every year."
