Fall 2010 Newsletter
Dear Friends of Penn Ice Hockey:
I hope you’ve had a relaxing summer and have spent plenty of time with family and friends. If you can believe
it, fall is already here and the new Penn Hockey season is just around the corner. The Ice Hockey Board is now
entering its third year, and I’m excited about how we plan to support the team this upcoming season.
The Alumni Relations Committee, chaired by Whit Matthews C’02, already has plans in progress for our annual
Homecoming game on October 30th. In addition, there are plans to host alumni gatherings in New York City on
November 21st and in Boston on January 21st to coincide with two road trips the team has planned.
The Mentoring Committee, chaired by John Rooney W’77, will continue building professional relationships
between current student-athletes and alumni. If you wish to help with these efforts, we would like you to join the
Penn Hockey Alumni Group that has been created on LinkedIn. We encourage all of our alumni to visit the Penn
Athletics site and sign-up for PAMNet, a social networking site dedicated exclusively to Penn Athletics which will
link both current and former athletes.
The Development Committee, chaired by Craig White WEV’02, will look to further increase the financial support
provided to the program. Our past fundraising efforts have helped to fund special projects such as renovating
the team’s locker room at the Class of 1923 Ice Rink. This year we are focused on raising funds that will reduce
player dues, secure prime practice ice-slots, and increase the stipend available to the coaching staff. I’d like
to send my sincerest thanks to our past donors for helping with these fundraising efforts, even in this difficult
economic climate.
It should be noted that the Penn Ice Hockey Board includes alumni from the last four decades. Whether you
were a former varsity or club player, we hope we can count on your support of the Penn Hockey team. We are
constantly looking for additional support on the Board, so if you are interested in volunteering please let us
know. Lastly, there are numerous “lost” alumni out there and we encourage you to send this information on to
them and have them reconnect with Penn.
Thank you for your continued and loyal support. On behalf of the other Board members, I wish all of our players
and coaches the best of luck for a great 2010-2011 season.
Sincerely,
Ross Giambalvo EE’02 GEN’04
Penn Hockey Alumni Board
Chairman
From Associate Director of Structured Sport Mike Reno…
Dear Penn Hockey Alumni, Family and Friends,
The mission of Penn Recreation’s Structured Sport program is to enhance the studentathletes’ educational experience by fostering their personal development through
teamwork and competition. Penn Hockey continues that tremendous tradition, and
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support.
Presently, the annual University allocation for each club does not fully cover the costs
of operating clubs that aspire to the highest competitive levels. As a result, your
donation has a sizeable impact, assisting our clubs in meeting their annual funding
gaps. In short, it is not merely helpful to our teams, it is essential. In addition to
your financial support, on behalf of the players and coaches, we thank you for your
attendance at our competitions – it’s great to have our Penn Hockey family cheering
on the teams from the stands!
I’d like to thank the board members for their time and dedication, the coaches for their tireless commitment to their
players, and on behalf of the entire Penn Recreation community, I extend to you our appreciation for your support
of our continued growth and progress.
Sincerely,
Mike Reno
From the Men’s Ice Hockey Club President...
The Men’s team is entering a new era as we rebuild the team after graduating eleven
players last season. While the number of players is short of our goal, we are confident
going into the new season. We feel we have a strong, young core that will be very
competitive this year and for years to come.
The team will be playing in a new league this season, the Great Northeast Collegiate
Hockey Conference. We will continue to play many of our old rivals from the MACHA,
as well as compete for a championship in our new league. We are pleased that
Princeton made the move to the GNCHC with us, and excited to play new league
foes such as Rutgers, LaSalle, and C.W. Post.
The team has a lot to look forward to this year, including the Alumni Game during Homecoming on October 30,
and the 2nd Annual Alumni Event in New York City when we play NYU at Chelsea Piers, Manhattan on November
21. We are also extremely excited to be cohosting with Princeton the Inaugural ACHA Ivy
League Tournament at the end of this season.
All of the players are looking forward to a huge
success.

Women’s Ice Hockey
From the Women’s Captains...
The beginning of the 2010-2011 season brings many new
things to Penn women’s ice hockey. Our captains and
board did a lot of recruiting leading up to this season after
the graduation of many of our players this past May. The
captains are excited to have seven new girls on the team
this year! Our newest members, who are all freshmen and
sophomores, will be a great foundation for the future of
the club. We also have a new coach, John Mores, whose
dedication to the game will be a huge asset this year. After
just two practices, every member’s enthusiasm for the team
is a hopeful sign for this year.
Looking ahead to our league games, we hope to play hard
and advance to playoffs at the end of the regular season.
We’re looking forward to competing against old rivals like
American University and the University of Maryland. We have a tough travel schedule this year, with an
overnight trip to the University of Virginia for back-to-back games. The expansion of our league in recent
years also means a trip to California University of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh.
We appreciate the continued support of our alumni, friends, and family and we are very excited for this season!
