College Hockey News: Team of the Week

Robert Morris has been named College Hockey News’ Team of the Week

Here are a few quotes from the article:

“Our goal was to weather the storm and get out of that first period either tied or ahead,” Schooley said. “We were out-shot 17-3 and the attempts were 35-6 or something awful such as that, but we weathered the storm.”

In the immediate aftermath Schooley said he received 11 text messages and had seven missed phone calls “before we even got off the ice on Sunday.

“The president of our university (Dr. Gregory G. Dell’Omo) sent an email, and he’s in Cancun,” Schooley said. “It’s been a whirlwind.”

“I think we all believed since Day One that we were a very good hockey team and it was only a matter of time before we got the result we got (last) weekend,” Ostergard said. “It came from the coaching staff and the captains telling us to stay focused and be patient and it’ll come.”

“Bob Errey (the Pittsburgh Penguins TV color analyst) called,” Schooley told the local media. “I’ve gotten calls from the St. Louis Blues … I know a lot of people in their organization. Hopefully, more people will jump on our bandwagon. … Friday showed that we have a very good product. Sunday validated it. Now it’s up to our players to continue to keep moving forward, and to keep the fans coming back. We only have five home games left, but it’s great timing to be home this weekend, that’s for sure.”
