Sydney Spuzzillo enters her first year with the Colonials in 2025.
Spuzzillo spent this past season as the team’s Student Manager, primarily assisting the program from an equipment standpoint, gaining firsthand insight into the team's operational needs.
Her journey in hockey began at the age of 18 when she joined RMU’s D2 club team on campus, where she served as an alternate captain.
Academically, Spuzzillo is a proud RMU alum, having graduated in May 2023 with a double major in Sports Management and Marketing, along with a sales certificate. During her senior year, she served as the League Hockey Operations Intern for the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF), with most of her work being remote, culminating in the opportunity to work the championship game in Arizona. After graduation, she gained further experience in the ECHL as a Game Operations Intern with the Wheeling Nailers.
Spuzzillo also has a long-standing connection with the Ohio Hockey Project, where she worked for six years as the Director of Administrative Operations with Bri McLoughlin. This connection ultimately influenced her decision to return to RMU for her Master’s in Data Analytics, while also rejoining the club hockey team.
On the side, Spuzzillo has demonstrated a commitment to growing the game at the grassroots level, coaching 'learn to play hockey' programs at RMU and for the Cleveland Mini Monsters.
