A year ago at this time we were talking “where will Robert Morris Hockey compete next year? or will there even be Robert Morris Hockey in a few years?,” that focus quickly shifted to the thought of “where is the state of college hockey headed?.” These questions have all been made on the basis of fear, assumptions and the never ending sight that change to the future can only bring a gloomy demise to college hockey as we know it.
That was a year ago.
A time-table of events that weren’t scheduled seem to be happening in just that effect, as if they were schedule and planned. A four team conference in the CHA has seen it’s end, with that we saw four teams reaching out and looking for an answer, one that came, but was also seemingly presenting itself to be the ultimate answer. Those fears and assumptions, quickly became thoughts of excitement and optimism.
