Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence p2 p3 Administrative Messages Administrative Messages RIT President Executive Director of Athletics Lou Spiotti Jr. Tiger sports fans have a lot to be proud of: •In 2011, the Division I men’s hockey team clinched its fourth Atlantic Hockey Association regular season title in the past five seasons. •The women’s hockey team spent most of last season ranked No. 1 in the nation and reached the NCAA Division III championship game. •The men’s lacrosse team reached the NCAA Division III semifinals. •15 Tiger athletes were All-Americans in 2010-2011; and three were Academic All-Americans. •In the classroom, our 600 student-athletes carry a median grade-point average of 3.22, which exceeds the overall student body. This year promises to be another exciting year as the men’s hockey team looks to regain its top position in the Atlantic Hockey Association. Our other 23 athletic teams have joined the Liberty League and will make us proud. RIT fits in very well with the intercollegiate athletic philosophy of the other Liberty League institutions. The league includes Bard College, Clarkson University, Hamilton College, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, the University of Rochester, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, St. Lawrence University, Skidmore College, and Union College. The ascent of our athletic teams is emblematic of the university’s momentum in the world of higher education. Today, RIT is among the world’s leading career-focused, technological universities, which prides itself on blending innovation and creativity into the overall experience. At RIT, you will discover a university of artists and designers on the one hand, and scientists, engineers and business leaders on the other. The university is home to nine colleges offering over 200 undergraduate, master’s, and Ph.D. programs. With 17,550 students, RIT is among the top dozen largest private universities in the nation. More than half the university’s student population hails from outside New York, representing all 50 states and nearly 100 countries. As global competition heats up, RIT is positioned to be an international leader. We rank third among U.S. private universities in students graduating in the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). Our cooperative education program, where students leave the campus for work experience in their fields, is heralded annually as among the best in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. Here’s to another terrific season for all our student-athletes. Go Tigers! While RIT Athletics experienced some very significant accomplishments to report in 2009-2010 (NCAA Frozen Four appearance), the follow-up year of 2010-2011 was also quite noteworthy. Our teams continued to compete at very high levels. For starters, the overall winning percentage was the highest on record in the past eight years. Leading the way were two teams that made it well into national championship play. Women’s ice hockey skated through most of the season without a single loss and on to the National Championship game for the first time in school history. Although they came up short, the team made a tremendous statement at the national level. In addition to this great team achievement, one of our finest players in the history of the program, Sarah Dagg, was named National Player of the Year as well as PAYCHEX Female College Athlete of the Year. Men’s lacrosse followed up in the spring with an incredible run of 19 straight wins (a school record as well). After winning the Empire 8 title, the Tigers went on to wins in the NCAA Championships but were stopped short in the semifinal game against Tufts University. Jake Coon, our head lacrosse coach, was named Empire 8 and ECAC Coach of the Year. Men’s ice hockey followed up its storybook season in 200910 (NCAA Frozen Four) with yet another Atlantic Hockey Regular Season Title and a near-miss NCAA appearance. The team played before a record crowd of 10,556 at Blue Cross Arena on Brick City Homecoming weekend. In addition to these highlights, Tiger wrestler Mike McInally (133-pound weight class) made it to the NCAA Championship match, only to fall just short of taking home the gold. Our men’s indoor track team won the Empire 8 Championship right here on home turf at the Gordon Field House. Softball advanced to the league championship game for the first time in eight years. Our student-athletes’ successes were not limited to the classroom. Last year our athletes attained an overall gradepoint average of 3.22, the highest in recent history. There are many exciting events to come, the most significant of which is our entry into the prestigious Liberty League. The 2011-2012 season marks our first year in this new league, which will bring about many opportunities for our teams and the university as a whole. Looking ahead, it promises to be an exciting year for the Tigers. The coaching staff, administrative team, and studentathletes have been working hard preparing for the coming season. As always, we welcome your positive support and involvement. We could not possibly accomplish all that we have without our loyal fans. So, please join us at as many games as possible and share in the excitement of Tiger Sports! The Center for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation is a dynamic and multidimensional center. The Center is comprised of highly skilled and talented staff utilizing innovative programs and facilities. We encourage all students—whether they are student-athletes, members of an intramural program, or visitors to the fitness center—to participate in the many excellent opportunities for involvement and wellness provided by the Center. Participation in our various wellness programs and athletic teams promotes the development of a healthy lifestyle through the enrichment of the intellectual, cultural, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being of the individual. I invite you to check out the Gordon Field House and Activities Go Tigers! Mary-Beth A.

In 2001, Jerry Galway became the second player in RIT history to be named NCAA Division III Player of the Year. In 2009-10, Jared DeMichiel and Dan Ringwald were the AHA Goaltender and Defenseman of the Year, respectively, and garnered first team honors.

Fresh off of leading his Tigers to their fourth Atlantic Hockey Association regular season championship in the last five seasons in 2010-11, the Tigers advanced to the AHA Championship game for the second straight season, finishing with a 19-11-8 record. The Tigers rattled off an 11-game unbeaten streak during the middle of the season, and once again, were one of the highest scoring teams in Division I. The Guelph, Ontario, native has led the Tigers to a 11059-19 record since the 2006-07 season, including a 92-31-16 mark all-time in AHA play. In 2010-11, the Tigers tied their own AHA record for fewest losses (5). Wilson enjoyed a magical year behind the bench in 200910. He, along with the Tigers, accrued a bevy of individual and team accomplishments, including the Spencer Penrose Award as Division I National Coach of the Year. Wilson became the first coach to win the National Coach of the Year at both the Division I and Division III levels. He led RIT to its first Atlantic Hockey Championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers captured the attention of the country as they made their historic run to the Frozen Four, playing in front of 34,954 fans at Ford Field in Detroit. RIT finished the season with a school record 28 wins, including a 12-game winning streak from Feb. 12 to March 27. RIT finished the season ranked No. 10 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine National Poll, and was the only Division I team to win its conference regular season and postseason championships. On Oct. 30, 2009, Wilson became the all-time leader in coaching wins at RIT, picking up his 189th victory in a 6-2 win over Connecticut. On Jan. 15, 2010, Wilson recorded his 200th win, as RIT blanked Connecticut, 4-0. During his tenure at RIT, Wilson has guided the Tigers to a 235-114-33 record. In just six seasons of Division I play, he has led the Tigers to several victories over nationally ranked teams, including wins over No. 2 Denver, and No. 12 New Hampshire in the NCAA East Regional on March 26-27, 2010. Denver is the highest ranked team that RIT has beaten at the Division I level. On Oct. 27, 2007, the Tigers defeated then No. 18 Cornell 4-1, and two months later, on Dec. 29, RIT shocked the Division I hockey landscape, defeating No. 14 Minnesota at the Dodge Holiday Classic in front of 10,046 fans at Mariucci Arena. It was the first time Minnesota had lost a game in their home tournament since the 1999-00 season. On Oct. 30, 2010, the Tigers defeated No. 14 Cornell for the second straight time, 5-3 at famed Lynah Rink. In 2008-09, Wilson led the Tigers to a 23-13-2 mark, which included an 11-game winning streak, jump-started by a win over No. 10 Air Force. In 2007-08, forward Simon Lambert became the first RIT player to be named a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, college hockey’s finest honor. Wilson is no stranger to success at the collegiate level. He won a national title as a player at Bowling Green State University in 1984. He also led the Falcons to three NCAA Tournament appearances as an assistant coach. 2003-2004 Brock (exhibition) Ritter Arena Skate With the Tigers Ritter Arena * Niagara Ritter Arena St. Lawrence Blue Cross Arena * at Canisius Buffalo, N.Y.

Hills, who joined RIT before its inaugural season of Division I play in 2005, has been a vital reason for RIT’s success. Hills received the prestigious Terry Flanagan Award at the 2011 American Hockey Coaches Association Banquet, honoring an outstanding assistant coach’s career body of work. Hills has played a major role in recruiting and building a team that won the 2010 Atlantic Hockey and NCAA East Region Championships and advanced to the Frozen Four. In addition, Hills helped lead RIT to four Atlantic Hockey regular season championships in five seasons. Hills played an integral role in the development of defenseman Chris Tanev, the 2010 Atlantic Hockey Association Rookie of the Year, who signed as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks in May 2010. Tanev made his NHL debut on Jan. 18, 2011, played 29 regular season games, and five playoff games for the Canucks, including games five, six, and seven of the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals. Before his success at RIT, Hills was the head coach at the State University College at Geneseo for four seasons. In his last season at Geneseo, he led the Knights to a record of 18-74, a SUNYAC Championship, the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III Tournament, and a No. 7 ranking in the final Division III poll. Hills amassed a record of 53-42-14 while reviving the Geneseo hockey program. His record during his final two seasons at Geneseo was 32-14-9. Prior to coaching at Geneseo, Hills worked for seven years at Division I Bowling Green. During that time he assisted with Team Canada’s national team selection committee in 1997 and 1998. He also coached the Chur (Switzerland) Junior Hockey Team in 1986-87. Hills is a graduate of Bowling Green State University, where he was a teammate of RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson. Hills was a two-time All-American and two-time Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist. He led the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) in scoring twice and was the CCHA Player of the Year in 1983. In addition, he was a twotime CCHA All-Academic team member, and was a second team CoSIDA/GTE Academic All-American as a senior. Hills left Bowling Green as its all-time leading scorer and is currently second on the list. He scored 116 goals and added 154 assists for 270 points in 156 games. In 1982-83 he set a school single-season record that still stands with 94 points (37-57-94) in 40 games. After graduating from Bowling Green with a degree in business administration, Hills spent 11 seasons playing professionally in Europe—eight years in Switzerland and three in Germany. He won three gold medals with Team Canada in Europe’s Spengler Cup before returning to his alma mater, where he spent seven seasons as an assistant coach from 1994-2001. “Brian has been an invaluable asset to the RIT hockey program,” said Wilson. “He is a proven winner and will no doubt be an excellent Division I head coach.” Hills lives in Honeoye Falls with his wife, Andrea. They have two children, a daughter Alexandra (22), and son Trevor (19). Alexandra is a senior forward on the 2011 NCAA National Runner-up RIT women’s hockey team. Trevor will play the 2011-12 season for the Chilliwack Chiefs of the British Columbia Hockey League. Dave Insalaco enters his fourth season as an assistant coach for the RIT men’s hockey program. His knack for finding several quality recruits has helped the Tigers become one of the top teams in Division I, as evidenced by the squad’s three straight Atlantic Hockey Association regular season championships and trip to the 2010 NCAA Division I Frozen Four. Insalaco spent two seasons with the Green Bay Gamblers of the United States Hockey League. Midway through the 2007-08 season, he took over as the head coach and general manager, mentoring current RIT seniors Cameron Burt and Taylor McReynolds, and junior Chris Saracino. Insalaco began his coaching career in 2002-03 as a volunteer assistant at SUNY Brockport. In 2003-04, he moved to SUNY Geneseo as an assistant coach. There, he worked under current RIT Associate Head Coach Brian Hills for two seasons. In 2009 and 2011, Insalaco coached at the USA Hockey Select Under-17 camp in Rochester with several of the nation’s top collegiate coaches. In 2011, he was chosen to coach in Select 17 All-Star game. Insalaco played two years of professional hockey, from 2000-02, for the Adirondack IceHawks of the United Hockey League, recording 10 goals and 21 assists for 31 points in 128 career games. He quickly became a fan favorite in Adirondack, winning the Unsung Hero and 110 Percent Award as voted on by the fans in 2001-02. Insalaco helped lead Adirondack to a division title in 2000-01. The Greece native played collegiately at SUNY Brockport from 1996-00. Insalaco tallied 47 goals and 62 assists for 109 points in 108 career games for the Golden Eagles. He was an All-SUNYAC second team selection in 2000 and Chase Memorial Academic Athletic Scholarship winner. “Dave is a young, smart, energetic coach,” said RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson. “He excels in recruiting, skill development, and video analysis, and understands the game very well. Every year Dave has taken on more responsibility and is the nuts and bolts of our team’s success.” In addition, Insalaco’s sister Kim was a member of the 2006 United States Women’s Olympic Hockey Team that earned a bronze medal in Turin, Italy. Insalaco, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education from SUNY Brockport, lives in Fairport with his wife, Erika, and newborn son, David. Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence Coaching Staff Volunteer Assistant Coach Mike Germain Athletic Trainer/ Strength/ Conditioning Coach Mike Germain returns for his sixth season as a volunteer assistant coach. He works primarily with the Tiger goaltenders. Under his tutelage, Shane Madolora led all Division I goaltenders with the best save percentage in 2010-11, while Jared DeMichiel led the nation in wins the season prior. Germain came to the Tigers after spending a season as an assistant coach with the American Hockey League’s Rochester Americans. Before that, Germain was an associate coach for the Rochester Junior Americans for four seasons. For three seasons, he was the head coach of the Greece Lightning, one of the top high school teams in Rochester. In his first season, Germain led the Lightning to 17 wins and the New York state quarterfinals. A 1994 graduate of the State University College at Cortland and standout goaltender for the Red Dragons, Germain set single-season school records that still stand for most wins (17, 1992-93) and shutouts (2, 1991-92). He is also the Red Dragons all-time leader in wins (33) and shutouts (3). Germain, who has a master’s degree in educational administration from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and a second master’s degree in liberal studies from the State University College at Brockport, started his coaching career as an assistant at Brockport from 1998-2000. “Mike has become an integral part of our program,” said RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson. “His work with our goaltenders has been invaluable as evidenced by the improvement of Louis Menard and Jocelyn Guimond early on, then seeing Jared DeMichiel and Shane Madolora enjoy tremendous success over the last two seasons.” The Germain name should be familiar to RIT fans, as Mike’s brother Lou played in goal for one season with the Tigers before transferring to SUNY Geneseo, where he earned All-American honors. Germain is an assistant principal at John Marshall High School in the Rochester City School District. He lives in Irondequoit with his wife, Melissa, and son, Jake. Tim Insko begins his third season as the strength and conditioning coach and athletic trainer at RIT. He is primarily responsible for working with the Tiger hockey team on and off the ice. In addition, he supervises the Tiger Power Den and works in strength and conditioning with all 600 RIT student-athletes. Prior to arriving at RIT, Insko spent three seasons working with the USA Hockey Bantam Camp in Ames, Iowa. During that time, he honed his craft at Division I Iowa State University, while obtaining a second bachelor’s degree in kinesiology with an emphasis in athletic training, along with a master’s degree in educational leadership and policy studies. He worked with the football and track and field teams, and mentored all first- and second-year athletic training students. Insko was awarded the Robert Watkins and Mary Swartz Athletic Training Student Award and was a Special Olympics and Drake Relays volunteer athletic training student while at Iowa State. From 2001-06, Insko was a strength and conditioning specialist at Performace Therapies, P.C., in Coralville, Iowa. He administered strength and conditioning programs for the Cedar Rapids Roughriders hockey team and several high schools in the region. In addition, he was a physical therapy aide for one year at the University of Iowa Hospitals. Insko received his first bachelor’s degree in psychology in 1999 from the University of Iowa. He is certified by the National Athletic Training Association, and is a certified strength and conditioning specialist and corrective exercise specialist. Insko resides in Webster with his wife, Becki. Tim Insko Director of Hockey Operations Jeff Siegel Jeff Siegel begins his sixth season at RIT, third as the hockey operations manager. He oversees all aspects of game day management, travel, and equipment operations. Siegel graduated from New England College in 2006 with a degree in sports and recreation management. He was named Sport and Recreation Management Student of the Year. While at New England College, Siegel worked as the equipment manager for the men’s ice hockey team. He also handled game operations and community relations. In the summer of 2005, Siegel worked as a game operations intern for the Manchester Wolves of the Arena Football 2 League. Siegel resides in Rochester. Video Coordinator Mark Lessard Known by many in the RIT hockey community as “Captain Video,” Mark Lessard is now in his 16th season as the video coordinator for the RIT men’s hockey team. He was awarded the Dr. Albert J. Simone Distinguished Service Award in 2008. This award is given to a person or persons who have made a positive impact on the RIT hockey program. Lessard, a graduate of Churchville-Chili High School and Monroe Community College, is able to break down film of RIT hockey into virtually any category necessary, including power plays, faceoffs, shots on goal, and goals scored. He has become an extremely valuable part of the RIT hockey department. Lessard also works as a computer lab technician in the information technology department at RIT.

The Tigers drew a RIT regular season record sellout crowd of 10,556 fans. The Tigers raised just under $7,000 for former Rochester American and UMass Lowell standout, the late Craig Charron with the sale of the special black jerseys worn during the game. Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence The 2011-12 RIT men’s hockey team will look to win its fourth straight Atlantic Hockey regular season title, and advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons. Last season, the Tigers were one goal shy of advancing to the NCAA Tournament, finishing with a 19-11-8 record. Just two seasons ago, RIT emerged as the country’s Cinderella story, advancing to the NCAA Frozen Four. The Tigers have a sparkling 110-59-19 record over the past five years, winning at least 19 games in each season. Once again, the Tigers return a strong group of playoff-tested veterans and bring in an extremely talented group of newcomers. RIT will play 34 regular season games this season, opening with a tough AHA conference game against Niagara on Oct. 8 at Ritter Arena. The following weekend, the Tigers host St. Lawrence in what could possibly be a sold-out house at Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester on Oct. 15, as the focal point of Brick City Homecoming and Family Weekend. RIT will also play non-conference home games against ECAC foes Union and Rensselaer, both of whom advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament. On Dec. 29-30, the Tigers travel to Vermont to play Lake Superior State and Ferris State of the CCHA in the Catamount Cup. The following weekend, RIT rings in 2012 with a pair of road games at perennial power Wisconsin, in what will be a rematch of the 2010 Frozen Four semifinal, won by the Badgers. “We are playing a pretty challenging non-conference schedule,” said RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson, now in his 13th year with the Tigers. “We jump right into conference play against Niagara and then face St. Lawrence in front of what should be a great crowd as part of our Brick City Homecoming Weekend. Union and Rensselaer were both (NCAA) tournament teams last year, and then we head to Vermont to play two good teams in Ferris State and Lake Superior State. Obviously, we know how good Wisconsin is, and to play two games in front of huge crowds will be exciting. We like to play a tough non-conference schedule that challenges us and makes us better for league and postseason play,” said Wilson. Twenty-seven of RIT’s 34 games will be against Atlantic Hockey foes. The Tigers will play Niagara, Robert Morris, Canisius, Mercyhurst, and Air Force three times this season, and will play Army, Connecticut, Holy Cross, Sacred Heart, American International, and Bentley twice. Wilson, the all-time leader in coaching wins at RIT and winner of the 2010 Spencer Penrose Award as the Division I Coach of the Year, is thrilled that RIT has become not only a top AHA team, but one that has achieved national prominence. “Our goal hasn’t changed since we became eligible for postseason play (in 2007-08),” said Wilson. “Ultimately, our goal is to advance to the NCAA Tournament. That means putting ourselves in contention for home-ice advantage in the league tournament, and winning the Atlantic Hockey Championship. From there you prepare one game at a time. With the success we had in 2010, you never know what that means, it could be one and done, but we now know a Frozen Four berth is attainable.” Three defensemen, seniors Chris Haltigin and Daniel Spivak, along with junior Chris Saracino will serve as the 2011-12 captains. Haltigin was an assistant captain last season. The Tigers return 19 players from last season’s squad and Wilson and his staff have recruited seven highly touted newcomers. E Forwards Despite the loss of its top two scorers from last season, the Tigers return a strong group of talented forwards from an offense that finished 13th nationally in goals per game a year ago. With the addition of a group of accomplished freshmen, the offense has a chance to be even more dynamic this season. Senior Cameron Burt, along with junior Adam Hartley, and sophomores Ben Lynch, Adam Mitchell, and Mike Colavecchia will help shoulder the load offensively in 2011-12. Burt battled through injuries last season, after recording a team-high 47 points in 2009-10 en route to earning AHA and NCAA East Regional All-Tournament Team honors. Hartley recorded 13 points in his first 13 games last season before finishing with 25 points on 11 goals and 14 assists. Lynch ended the season strong en route to tallying 30 points in 37 games, while Mitchell chipped in with 11 goals, tied for third on the team. Colavecchia recorded 19 points and showed flashes of brillance. Seniors Mark Cornacchia, Scott Knowles, and Taylor McReynolds and juniors Jeff Smith, and Bryan Potts will be called upon to contribute more offensively. All five played a key role in RIT’s run to the 2010 Frozen Four and know what it takes to win at this level. Talented newcomers Matt Garbowsky, Brad McGowan, Brandon Thompson, and Brad Reid will look to crack the lineup immediately and provide a spark offensively. All four players enjoyed tremendous success at the junior level and will look to continue that at RIT. “Up front, we lost four forwards that made a big impact offensively, and all had important roles on our team,” said Wilson. “That being said, I really like what we return, along with one of the most talented group of newcomers we’ve had come in.” E Defensemen The defensive unit is arguably RIT’s deepest position, as seven players return from a squad that led the AHA in goals against average a year ago. The Tigers allowed just two goals per contest over their last 23 games and recorded six shutouts during that stretch. RIT has a strong blend of offensive, stay at home, and physical defensemen that will help them be successful in 2011-12. Senior captain Chris Haltigin battled through injuries last season, but is still regarded as one of the top defensemen in the conference. He was a 2010 NCAA East Region All-Tournament Team selection and along with rock solid defender and tri-captain Daniel Spivak will lead the squad on and off the ice Junior tri-captain Chris Saracino enjoyed a tremendous season in 2010-11, leading all RIT defensemen with 20 points, while recording a team-best plus-28 rating. Saracino was named an All-AHA second team selection. Senior Trevor Eckenswiller was plus-14 in 28 games last season and is completely healthy after suffering a season-ending injury in 2009-10 and nagging maladies in 2010-11. Sophomores Greg Noyes, Nolan Descoteaux, and Eliot Raibl all gained valuable experience last season and will be expected to contribute more in 2010-11. Noyes tallied 17 points and was plus-19 in 36 games last season, while Descoteaux played in 35 contests. Freshman Stuart Brownell, who stands 6-foot-4, will look to follow in RIT’s rich tradition of outstanding blue-liners. “We return seven defensemen from a team that led the league in goals against average,” said Wilson. “This is an extremely talented group of defensemen that can move the puck, show offensive ability, and be physical. Our leadership will come from our defense this season.” E Goalies RIT returns senior Shane Madolora, who enjoyed a breakout season in 2010-11, finishing 17-3-7, while leading the nation with a .935 save percentage, and six shutouts, to go along with a sparkling 1.93 goals against average, third best in Division I. He began the season with a 20-game unbeaten streak en route to being named the AHA Goaltender of the Year and earning All-AHA first team honors. He was also named an Inside College Hockey Second Team All-American. Sophomore Josh Watson returns after a promising rookie season. His three starts came against Nebraska-Omaha, Union, and Merrimack, all of whom advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Freshman Jordan Ruby led the Wellington Dukes to the 2011 Ontario Junior Hockey League Championship and a spot in the prestigious Royal Bank Cup. “We really feel great about our goaltending situation,” said Wilson. “Shane (Madolora) had such a tremendous season last year and Josh (Watson) will continue to get better. Jordan’s (Ruby) junior numbers were outstanding last year. We have three number-one type goaltenders.” RIT will once again have an eye on the postseason, as they battle the top teams in the country.

Brenner was an All-AHA second team selection and was co-winner of RIT’s Greg Moss Hard Hat Award. Brenner finished his RIT career with 55 goals, tied for the most at the Division I level. In late March, Brenner signed a professional contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League. Freshman Ben Lynch recorded 20 points over his last 17 games to finish third on the team in scoring with 30 points. He was named RIT’s Craig Lauzon Award Winner as the Rookie of the Year. Junior Cameron Burt struggled through injuries and a mid-season transition to playing defense to finish with 28 points on six goals and 22 assists in 33 games. Sophomore Adam Hartley scored 14 points in his first 13 games, finishing with 25 points on 11 goals and 14 assists. Senior forwards Mike Janda and Sean Murphy finished their collegiate careers in style. Janda tallied a career-high 10 goals, and 14 points and was plus-7. Murphy, a captain, chipped in with 13 points and tallied four goals over his last five games, including two in the AHA Semifinal against Connecticut. He was an AHA All-Tournament Team selection. Juniors Scott Knowles, a gritty forward, tallied 13 points, tying a RIT single-season Division I record with three shorthanded goals. Classmate Mark Cornacchia was one of the squad’s best penalty killers, chipping in with 10 points. Fellow junior Taylor McReynolds recorded a career-high 14 points, while leading all of Division I and setting a RIT singleseason record with 138 penalty minutes. The first-year duo of Mike Colavecchia and Adam Mitchell showed flashes of brilliance during the season. Colavecchia chipped in with 19 points in 35 games, while Mitchell scored 11 goals and added six assists. Mitchell scored the overtime game-winner in RIT’s first win of the season over Robert Morris. Sophomores Bryan Potts and Jeff Smith improved as the season progressed. Potts finished with six points, including a career-high effort of two goals and an assist against Robert Morris. Smith recorded a goal and an assist in RIT’s win over Cornell. RIT’s defensive unit, which started the season with three first-year players in the lineup, improved greatly throughout the season to post six shutouts and allow just under two goals per game over the final 23 contests of the season. Chris Saracino enjoyed a breakout season, tallying 20 points on five goals and 15 assists, while leading the team with a plus-28 rating to earn All-AHA second team honors. Defensive partner Greg Noyes stepped right into the lineup, recording 17 points and a plus-19 rating. Junior captain Chris Haltigin battled through nagging injuries to finish with 14 points, while fellow junior Trevor Eckenswiller rebounded from a season-ending injury in 2009-10 to finish with a plus-14 rating along with eight assists. Junior Daniel Spivak evolved into a rock solid, physical stay-at-home defenseman, and was rewarded by winning RIT’s Greg Moss Hard Hat Award. Freshmen Nolan Descoteaux and Eliot Raibl showed plenty of improvement during the season and will be called upon to step even more in 2011-12. In goal, Jan Ropponen picked up a pair of wins, including the victory over Cornell. Josh Watson saw action in four games, with all three starts coming against teams that made the NCAA Tournament (Nebraska-Omaha, Union, and Merrimack).

Since 2007, 21 Tigers have moved on to play in the professional ranks. These Tigers are living their dream of playing pro hockey, spread out all over the globe, from Quebec to Italy, Germany to Slovenia, Belgium to Texas. In April 2010, Chris Tanev was a freshman defenseman playing a key role in RIT’s legendary run to the Frozen Four. Just 14 months later, Tanev had signed a professional contract with the Vancouver Canucks, becoming RIT’s first player to skate in the NHL. He played in 29 regular season games and games five, six, and seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. The 21-year-old defenseman drew praise from several national media outlets in the hockey world for his poise and strong play. Tanev will look to earn a full-time spot with the Canucks for the 2011-12 season. After the 2011 season, Tyler Brenner signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs and will look to make an immediate impact. Bobby Raymond, a 2009 graduate, was part of the 2011 Calder Cup Champion Binghamton Senators. Steve Pinizzotto was the first Tiger to leave school early, signing a contract with the Washington Capitals in 2007, after his sophomore season. Pinizzotto played a key role in leading the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League to back-to-back Calder Cup Championships in 2009 and 2010. In July 2011, he signed with the Vancouver Canucks. Several RIT alumni, such as 2008 Hobey Baker Finalist Simon Lambert, Justin Hofstetter, Matt Crowell, and Stephen Burns currently play in Europe. Numerous players, including Jared DeMichiel, Dan Ringwald, and Andrew Favot, play in the ECHL, trying to fulfill a lifelong dream. Chris Tanev played in 29 games with the Vancouver Canucks in 2010-11, plus games five, six, and seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. He will look to play a greater role in 2011-12. Tyler Brenner signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2011 and will look to make an impact right away. Tanev, Pinizzotto, Raymond, DeMichiel, and Brenner were invited to NHL Training Camps in 2011. “It’s exciting knowing that their dreams of playing in the NHL and receiving interest from NHL teams is that much more attainable now,” says RIT Head Coach Wayne Wilson. “We’ve gone from a program where there was very little recognition in the pro ranks to now having guys that have a chance to make a name for themselves five, six, or even 10 years down the road at the highest level. Our players consider themselves Tigers for life and have a committed sense of pride in what they accomplished at RIT.” As an assistant coach at Bowling Green, Wilson (1988-99) mentored several players who have enjoyed excellent careers in the NHL, including Norris Trophy winner and three-time All-Star defenseman Rob Blake, while he was an assistant coach at Bowling Green University. Wilson also coached former NHL players Dan Bylsma (2009 Stanley Cup Champion Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins), Todd Reirden (Pittsburgh Penguins Assistant Coach), Kevin Dahl, Nelson Emerson, Mike Johnson, Ken Klee, Peter Ratchuk, Paul Ysebart, and former Rochester American and Buffalo Sabre Brian Holzinger. Steve Pinizzotto was called up to the Washington Capitals on March 24, 2009, but did not play. He will begin 2011 training camp with the Vancouver Canucks. Bobby Raymond helped lead the Binghamton Senators of the AHL to the 2011 Calder Cup. He was invited to the Ottawa Senators Training Camp. Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence p 38 p 39 Strength and Conditioning RIT Facilities The primary goal of the RIT Tiger Strength and Conditioning team is to provide a safe and effective environment for the student-athletes where they can reach their full fitness potential. RIT Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tim Insko’s philosophy is to relentlessly push the pace of the workouts to maximize an individual’s mental and physical development within a cohesive team atmosphere. “Everything we do in the weight room has the ultimate purpose of winning on the ice,” said Insko. Insko uses a research-based approach to address common injuries in a sport while developing explosiveness and core stability. “My belief is that a well-trained, mentally tough athlete will always beat talent alone,” said Insko.

These are among a number of national rankings that you will find on Rochester, ranging from U.S. News & World Report to Popular Science. High-tech industry, entertainment, history and culture, sports and recreation—you’ll find it all in Rochester. The Genesee River—one of the few north-flowing rivers in the world—cuts through the center of the city, where it tumbles 96 feet at High Falls before flowing into Lake Ontario. The Greater Rochester area is home to more than 1 million people, making it the third-largest metropolitan area in New York state. There are more than a dozen colleges and universities located in the area, where more than 60,000 undergraduate and graduate students call Rochester “home.” RIT’s 1,300-acre campus is located in the suburb of Henrietta, about six miles from downtown. First settled in the early 1800s, Rochester quickly became the largest flour-producing city in the world. Today, the community is frequently labeled the “World’s Imaging Center,” due in part to the corporate influence of Eastman Kodak, Xerox, and Bausch & Lomb. The area is also home to high-profile companies like Wegmans Food Markets, Paychex, and Constellation Brands. Residents can see several high-profile off-Broadway shows at Geva Theatre or the Auditorium Theater, or attend one of the city’s several weekend festivals such as Corn Hill or Park Avenue. Good suburban public schools, affordable housing, and ease of commute are also some E Explore the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario From the wine country of the Finger Lakes (nearly 100 wineries) to the shores of Lake Ontario, Greater Rochester has a rich and vibrant character. You will find historic architecture, festivals, and plenty of shopping, dining, and entertainment options throughout the region. If you love the outdoors, there are parks, beaches, golf courses, ski resorts, mountains, gorges, lakes, and streams to provide opportunities for recreation and sightseeing. RIT is also a proud partner of the New York Wine & Culinary Center, located in nearby Canandaigua. A sports town during any season, Rochester is home to several professional sports teams, including the Red Wings (baseball), Americans (ice hockey), Knighthawks (indoor lacrosse), and the Rhinos (soccer).

U.S. News & World Report has named RIT one of the leading comprehensive universities in the north in terms of academic reputation for more than two decades. RIT’s student-athletes are no exception. Last year, student-athletes posted an impressive 3.22 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale, exceeding the university average of 3.05. During the spring quarter, an unprecedented 74 athletes recorded perfect 4.0 GPAs. The men’s hockey team held the second highest grade-point average among all RIT men’s athletics teams at 3.23. Scott Knowles (marketing) and Trevor Eckenswiller (biomedical sciences) recorded the two highest grade-point averages on the men’s hockey team in 2010-11. Today, RIT offers 24 varsity sports, including men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s crew, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball in the fall. Winter competition includes men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s ice hockey, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s indoor track, and wrestling. Spring competition features baseball, men’s and women’s crew, men’s and women’s lacrosse, softball, men’s tennis, and men’s and women’s outdoor track. Each year, more than 550 student-athletes compete on RIT athletics teams. Ten percent of these athletes are deaf or hard-of-hearing students enrolled in the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, one of RIT’s nine colleges. With the exception of men’s ice hockey, which will be playing its seventh season as a Division I program, RIT is a Division III institution that joined the NCAA in 1958. The Tigers compete in the Atlantic Hockey Association and Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC), and this season, the Division III programs join the Liberty League. Numerous student-athletes have been honored for their excellent work not only on the field, but in the classroom. This past season, men’s track and field and wrestling standouts Mike Dempsey and Mike McInally shared the Male Senior Athlete of the Year, while Sarah Dagg of the women’s hockey team garnered the Female Athlete of the Year Award. In just two seasons at RIT, Dempsey rewrote the record book in the pole vault, earning four All-American honors. In 2010, Dempsey earned national runner-up honors at 2010 NCAA Division III Indoor and Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He was named the Empire 8 Conference and United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) Atlantic Region Field Athlete of the Year. In 2011, Dempsey placed fifth at the NCAA Indoor Championships, and seventh at the Outdoor Championships, earning All-American honors in each. He holds the school record in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault with identical leaps of 5.16 meters. Dempsey, a 2011 Capital One/ Co-SIDA Academic All-American, was a seven-time Empire 8 and five-time RIT Male Athlete of the Week. McInally is one of the most decorated wrestlers in RIT’s storied history. A two-time national runner-up and four- time participant in the NCAA Championships, McInally finished his career at RIT with a 141-20 record, including a 56-2 record in dual meets. After finishing 68-14 with a pair of NCAA Championship appearances over his first two seasons, McInally broke out as a junior in 2008-09, winning his first 31 matches at 125 lbs., before finishing 35-2, earning national runner-up honors. After missing all but one match in 2009-10 due to a serious neck injury, he came back strong in 2010-11, winning his first 20 matches at 133 lbs. en route to his second national runner-up honor, finishing 37-4. McInally’s 141 wins and 56 dual victories are the second most in program history. He is a 10-time RIT Male Athlete, two-time ECWC Rookie and four-time ECWC Player of the Week, and won 10 tournament titles in his four seasons. Dagg was named the Laura Hurd Award Winner as the Division III National Women’s Ice Hockey Player of the Year in 2011. A three-year captain, Dagg led RIT to by far its greatest season in program history, as the Tigers finished as the national runner-up. The Tigers were the No. 1 team in the nation for a majority of the season, finishing 26-2-2, while winning their first ECAC West Championship. Dagg finished with 18 goals and 24 assists in 30 games, fourth-best nationally, en route to earning 2011 ECAC West Player of the Year and All-ECAC West first team honors. In addition, Dagg was named a RBK AHCA All-American for the third straight year and earned USCHO.com first team honors. Dagg enjoyed a storybook four-year career at RIT, leading the Tigers to an 85-17-7 mark, while becoming the program’s all-time leading scorer with 154 points (63-91-154) in 109 games. After scoring 27 points as a freshman, she led the Tigers in scoring with 40 points (16-24-40), as RIT finished 21-3-2 in 2008-09 and was ranked as high as No. 2 nationally. She was named an All-ECAC West second team selection and an RBK AHCA second team All-American. In 2009-10, Dagg set a career-high with 45 points (17-28-45) and was an RBK AHCA first team All-American, and earned All-ECAC West first team honors. Lou Spiotti Jr., Executive Director for the Center of Intercollegiate Athletics, believes that the student-athletes’ remarkable cumulative GPA is a testament to their hard work not only the playing field, but the classroom as well. “The RIT student-athletes epitomize the Greek ideal of ‘sound body, sound mind,’” said Spiotti. “The discipline and work ethic required to succeed in athletics are transferable skills. Our athletes succeed in many aspects of their lives because they understand and embrace the world of competition and achievement both on the field of play and in the classroom. They push themselves to reach for higher levels of success. I believe that for them to be as good as they have demonstrated takes focus, discipline, goal setting, good health and stamina, and excellent time management skills. All these things and more help them not only to progress through their college years, but also to excel. Thus, we have our student-athletes achieving a 3.22 overall grade-point average, which is significantly higher than the general student population.” Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence Atlantic Hockey at a Glance A new chapter in the history of college hockey was ushered into existence when the Atlantic Hockey Association was created on June 30, 2003, by nine charter members. The sixth Division I men’s ice hockey conference arose when the founding members—American International, Bentley, Canisius, Connecticut, Holy Cross, Mercyhurst, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart, and the United States Military Academy (Army)—required an organization that represented their specific needs. The group of nine broke away from their former conference affiliation, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, and formed a conference specific to the sport of ice hockey. Robert DeGregorio, former commissioner of Hockey East, was named the conference’s first commissioner and played an integral role in the development of the league as play between the nine squads began in the fall of 2003. As the season unfolded, the fledgling conference made its mark in college hockey with victories over non-conference opponents, along with an exciting chase to claim the first-ever regular season title. Holy Cross secured the title, and followed up that feat by capturing the tournament championship, sending the Crusaders to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in the program’s, and the league’s, history. Since the 2006-07 season, AHA’s conference championship has been held at Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester. RIT, in its first season as a member of the conference, won the regular season title but was unable to participate in the Atlantic Hockey Tournament due to NCAA regulations. An all-service academy championship ensued, as Air Force defeated Army to earn a berth into the 2007 NCAA Tournament. During the 2007-08 season, five teams entered the final two weekends of the regular season with a chance to secure the top seed. Army earned the top seed, but it was Air Force that defeated Mercyhurst in double overtime to claim its second straight conference title. In 2008-09, Air Force and RIT split the regular season title, both with what was then an AHA record-setting total of 42 points. For the third straight season, the Falcons won the conference tournament, blanking Mercyhurst. RIT set conference records with 22 wins and 45 points, rolling to the 2009-10 AHA regular season title. It was no different in the postseason, as RIT outscored its foes 18-5 in winning its four playoff games, including a 6-1 win over Sacred Heart in the championship game. Last season, RIT won its fourth regular season title in the last five seasons, setting up a championship contest against Air Force. The Tigers would out-shoot Air Force 40-24, but could not solve Jason Torf, who was perfect in goal for the Falcons. Jacques Lamoureux scored the game’s lone goal on a power-play late in the second period to lift Air Force to its fourth AHA Championship in five years with a 1-0 win. Success in the classroom is as important as success on the ice among the member institutions of Atlantic Hockey. A total of 140 student-athletes were named to the 2009-10 Atlantic Hockey All-Academic squad in recognition of their outstanding scholastic achievement. Atlantic Hockey athletes have also contributed their time off the ice to numerous charitable organizations as a way of saying thanks to their many supporters. Currently, Atlantic Hockey spans a total of five states: four in the northeast and one western state, reaching from the Atlantic Ocean to the banks of the Great Lakes and out to the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Robert Morris and Niagara will join the conference for the 2010-11 season. Members reside in Connecticut (University of Connecticut, Quinnipiac, Sacred Heart), Massachusetts (American International, Bentley, Holy Cross), New York (Army, Canisius, Niagara, RIT), Pennsylvania (Mercyhurst, Robert Morris), and Colorado (Air Force).

On Jan. 30, 2010, RIT fans traded orange apparel for pink over the weekend and in the process raised $21,248 to fight cancer. Zeta Tau Alpha sorority teamed up with the RIT men’s and women’s hockey teams in the “Pink Rink” event, where Ritter Arena transformed into a sea of pink. Pink Tiger jerseys were auctioned off and proceeds reached $9,248. Jersey proceeds went to Rochester General Hospital’s Lipson Cancer Center. Zeta Tau Alpha also raised more than $12,000 from T-shirt sales. Those sales benefited the Susan G. Komen Cancer Foundation. Last season, the Tigers raised $7,000 through the sale of special black jerseys to support the late Craig Charron of the Rochester Americans in his fight against cancer.

The Tigers became the first Atlantic Hockey Association squad to make the Frozen Four, and emerged as a national powerhouse. Head Coach Wayne Wilson won the Spencer Penrose Award as the National Coach of the Year. RIT was the only team in Division I to win both its conference regular season and conference championships. The Tigers set AHA records with 22 wins and 45 points en route to capturing their third regular season title in four seasons. The Tigers continued their success into the Atlantic Hockey Tournament, sweeping Connecticut in the quarterfinals before shutting out Canisius 4-0 in the semifinals, and trouncing Sacred Heart 6-1 in the championship game on March 20. From there, it was on to the NCAA East Regional in Albany, where RIT upset No. 2 overall seed Denver 2-1, and advanced to the Frozen Four after defeating No. 12 New Hampshire 6-2 in the regional final. RIT’s storybook season ended in the Frozen Four semifinal to national runner-up Wisconsin in front of a program record crowd of 34,954 fans. The Tigers finished the season ranked No. 10 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national poll, and were ranked as high as ninth. RIT set school records with 28 wins, and a 12-game winning streak. After starting 0-5, RIT rolled to a 28-7-1 mark over its final 36 games. The Tigers finished fifth nationally in goals per game (3.54) and fourth in scoring defense (2.20), a school record.

Alexander Jr. wrote a letter to the Athletic Committee recommending that the committee approve the establishment of an intercollegiate hockey team at Rochester Institute of Technology. The measure was approved four years later in 1965. The hockey club was founded in the fall of 1959. It was given a budget of $1,020 to purchase the initial equipment to outfit 16 players. At that time, the team participated in the Monroe County Amateur Hockey Association, playing 13 games against three other league teams. The players paid $195 out of their own pockets for these games and coached themselves along the way, as they didn’t have the money to hire a head coach. The next year, with a budget of just $927, the season was composed entirely of away games, because the league was dissolved due to a lack of ice time at the Rochester War Memorial. With the help of Alexander, games were played against Hamilton JV, Colgate freshmen, Ithaca, Cornell freshmen, the University of Rochester, the University of Toronto, and the local hockey club “The Rockets.” In 1961-62, the budget was increased to $1,113.20 with the help of the RIT Student Council. There were 14 games played on home ice, which at the time was the Rochester War Memorial. Those interested in playing on the team exceeded 45 men. This is the first year they had actual guidance, as James E. Musker became the volunteer coach. With the new NCAA rules, the school was required to purchase helmets for the team at a cost of $62.50. Although hockey had never been played at the Ritter-Clark Rink (as it was previously called), it can be said that the facility was built with hockey in mind. This is verified by two important factors: a) the rink was built to hockey specifications as to length and width of ice surface, and b) inserts were provided in the concrete floor to accommodate hockey goals. In 1961, backed by the Student Association and President Marvin Pozefsky, renovations were made to the Ritter-Clark Rink so that the RIT men’s ice hockey team could call it their own. In 1962, the team formed a league with other teams in the area that faced similar problems, either with money, ice time, or scholarships. The league was known as the Finger Lakes Collegiate Hockey League (FLCHL). It consisted of six schools: RIT, SUNY Brockport, Hobart, Ithaca, the University of Rochester, and Syracuse University. Two years later, in 1964, RIT men’s ice hockey became an official varsity sport. In 1972-73, the team became a member of the ECAC Division III. The ECAC was composed of two divisions, East and West. RIT played under the East Division. In 1980, the RIT men’s hockey program made a giant step forward by moving to the Division II level of play. This meant playing a challenging 25-game schedule featuring 16 matches against Division II teams. RIT also began playing in the New York State College Hockey League (NYSCHL), comprised solely of Division II schools. The league folded in 1985-86. The 1982-83 season marked a milestone in the program, as the Tigers won their first NCAA Championship in Division II. In the two-game quarterfinal series, RIT defeated Mankato State and went on to beat Lowell 4-1 in the semifinals, advancing them to the championship game, where they defeated Bemidji State, 4-2. The next year RIT moved to the Division III level. The Tigers repeated again as champions in 1984-85, this time at the Division III level, defeating Bemidji State once again, by a score of 5-1. In 1988-89 the ECAC Division III formed two more divisions, adding a North and a South Division. With this change, RIT moved to the ECAC West and continued its status as a powerhouse in that division, winning seven conference titles in 17 seasons, including four straight, from 1998 to 2002. The Tigers have made multiple trips to the big show—14, in fact. In 1988-89, RIT tied the first game in the two-game series against WisconsinStevens Point, but ended its postseason play in the second game of the series, losing 3-2. In 1995-96, RIT made it to the championship game, losing 3-2 to Middlebury. In 2000-01, the team was ranked No. 1 in the nation the entire season and undefeated until losing the championship contest to SUNY Plattsburgh. Several RIT players have earned national recognition for their play on the ice, as All-Conference, or All-Americans. In 1997, Steve Toll was named the Division III National Player of the Year. In 2001, Jerry Galway also earned that hallowed honor. On Dec. 15, 2004, RIT President Albert Simone and Director of Athletics Lou Spiotti annouced that the Tigers would be moving to the Division I level starting with the 2005-06 season. RIT became a full-fledged member of the Atlantic Hockey Association in 2006-07. In 2006-07, RIT’s second year as a Division I program and first as a member of Atlantic Hockey, the Tigers won the conference’s regular season title. They finished the season with a 20-7-1 conference mark and won 21 games overall. The 21 wins against Division I competition were an improvement of 17 over its first season. On March 7-8, 2008, the Tigers played their first postseason games as a Division I program, defeating Holy Cross both nights in overtime by scores of 5-4 in the Atlantic Hockey Association quarterfinals. That season, Simon Lambert made history by becoming RIT’s first finalist for the Hobey Baker Award, Division I college hockey’s most prestigious individual honor. In 2008-09, RIT set a Division I school record by winning 23 games, and was victorious in 11 straight contests. The Tigers advanced to the AHA semifinals and were second nationally in goals per game (3.89). In 2009-10, the Tigers made history by not only winning their first AHA Championship, but then shocking the nation by upsetting No. 2 Denver and No. 12 New Hampshire to win the NCAA East Regional and advancing to the Frozen Four in just its fifth season as a Division I squad. Head Coach Wayne Wilson was named winner of the Spencer Penrose Award as the National Coach of the Year. Wilson, who also won the Edward JeremiahAward as Division III Coach of the Year in 2001, became the first coach to earn the national coach of the year honor at both levels. RIT was the only team in Division I to win both its conference regular season and conference championships. At the Frozen Four in Detroit, Mich., RIT played in front of a school-record 34,954 fans. The Tigers were nationally ranked for the first time as a Division I program, and finished the season No. 10 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine national poll, after climbing as high as ninth. RIT set school records with 28 wins, and a 12game winning streak. Last season, the Tigers enjoyed another tremendous season, winning the AHA regular season title for the fourth time in five years, and were one goal shy of their second consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament.

The arena has hosted five NCAA Championships, most recently the women’s Division III final in 2010-11. In 2008, the arena celebrated its 40th anniversary. Formerly known as Shumway Arena, the facility has undergone several renovations. A new sound system, lights, ceiling, and dasher boards have been added to help make Ritter Arena one of the best facilities in the Atlantic Hockey Association. In the last four years, both team locker rooms were renovated, a visitor’s locker room was added, and the compressors were replaced. In 2008, a state-of-the-art television studio was built to accommodate live hockey broadcasts on Time Warner Cable Sports. RIT is one of a handful of Division I programs that can broadcast games in high definition. In 2011, a $3.5 million project was completed to expand the current men’s and women’s hockey locker rooms, with coaching offices and video and training rooms to be added in the lower level of the arena. E Game Night Atmosphere With its intimate capacity of 2,100 (1,600 sitting, 500 standing), fans are right on top of the action. With the “Corner Crew” leading the way, fans at Ritter Arena cheer loudly and often. The crowds are among the most boisterous and loudest in Division I, and give the Tigers a distinct home-ice advantage. There is a plethora of banners celebrating RIT hockey’s several conference and NCAA championships. In addition, there are several different promotions and special events between periods, making Ritter Arena the place to be on campus during the winter months. E History The arena is named after one of Rochester’s most distinguished citizens. Frank Ritter was a founder of Rochester Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute (now RIT). He served on the Board of Trustees from 1885 to 1903, and was founder of Ritter Company, later a part of Sybron Co. The arena was dedicated in his honor in 1968. E Media and Special Guests Overlooking the south end is the John D. Pike Press Box, dedicated on Nov. 18, 1985. The facility is a gift of the John D. Pike Construction Co. and is named in honor of the company’s founder. The press box has areas for media and special guests of the university. E Special Activities Numerous other activities have taken advantage of the arena’s facilities. Some of these include: Genesee Figure Skating Club Invitational Rochester Youth Hockey practice sessions Monroe County Hockey League playoffs McQuaid Jesuit High School Tournament Empire State Games Championships The arena also hosts the Tiger Hockey School, and the Genesee Figure Skating Club has conducted its 49th Annual Skating Academy. Learn-to-Skate classes and public skating are also offered throughout the year. Rochester Institute of Technology | www.ritathletics.com | 2011-12 Men’s Ice Hockey | RIT Hockey: A Tradition of Excellence COACH SAID NEVER TAKE A SHIFT OFF. WE DIDN’T ASK ANY QUESTIONS. From the opening faceoff to the final horn, RIT Tigers are bred to give their all. On every shift. No exceptions. “Build a new arena? No problem,” we said. Yet while our men’s and women’s teams keep winning conference championships, we’re having trouble with other fundamentals. Like say, construction for new seats, rows, aisles, sightlines, private boxes, and locker rooms for RIT’s proposed state-of-the-art ice arena. You could say our tenacity deserves some applause. But what we really need is a hand. We’ll make the goal if you assist. Visit RIT’s Power Play campaign at rit.edu/powerplay.
