Schooley vs. WSU 3-7-3 Quotes for the Notes - A word with Coach Schooley On last weekend at Wisconsin... Wisconsin is a very good hockey team. They are very skilled, but we were in both games in the second period. We know heading into this weekend we need to play a lot better. On this weekend against Wayne State... Wayne State is a very young hockey club. They gave us a very hard fought game a few weeks ago in Alaska and I expect nothing less this time around from a Bill Wilkinson coached team
Head Coach Derek Schooley In his fourth season behind the bench of the Robert Morris program, head coach Derek Schooley believes that his team is ready to regularly compete for a College Hockey America title as well as with other teams around the nation. After two successful seasons getting the program started, Schooley led his team to a 14-19-2 overall record and a third place finish in the CHA in 2006-07. The Colonials advanced to the CHA Tournament finals before falling to Alabama-Huntsville, 5-4 in overtime. RMU defeated Bemidji State, 7-5, in the CHA Tournament quarterfinals. Schooley s Colonials have improved every year during the programs first three seasons. In their inaugural season, the Colonials finished 8-21-4 overall record. Many people thought that anything other than a zero in the win column that season, would be a surprise for the first year team. However, Schooley and his staff would not accept any excuses from the Colonial players and pushed his team to vie for a CHA Championship and a NCAA Tournament berth. In his fourth season, those expectations for the program have not changed. Schooley came to Robert Morris after spending the previous five seasons as an assistant coach at the United States Air Force Academy. He spent his first four seasons with the Falcons as an assistant coach before being promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2002-03 season. While at Air Force, Schooley coached a defensive unit that broke the school record for goals against average in two of the last four seasons. The team s goals against average of 2.91 in 2000-01 broke the record of 3.18 set a year earlier. Along with leading the defense at Air Force, Schooley assisted with nation-wide recruiting efforts. Prior to Air Force, Schooley spent a year as an assistant coach at Cornell during the 1997-98 season. He started his coaching career with the Chicago Freeze of the North American Hockey League in 1997 as an assistant coach and director of scouting. During the 1989-90 season, Schooley played for current Air Force head coach Frank Serratore with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League (USHL). The Lancers claimed both the regular season (Anderson Cup) and playoff (Clark Cup) championships, and Schooley was named the 1989-90 Defenseman of the Year. A 1994 graduate of Western Michigan University with a bachelor s of science degree in communications, Schooley was a four-year letterwinner as a defenseman with the Broncos. As a senior during the 1993-94 campaign, he tallied 23 assists and scored 27 points in 40 games, earning Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA) Defensive Player of the Week honors Feb 4, 1994. Also during the 1993-94 campaign he was given the KOHA Grinder of the Year award and led the Broncos in plus-minus ratio with a +22. Following his graduation from Western Michigan, Schooley played for the Huntington (W. Va.) Blizzard of the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) during the 1994-95 season. In 66 games he scored 18 points and compiled 151 penalty minutes. During the 1995-96 campaign Schooley spent part of the season with the Blizzard before joining the Flint (Mich.) Generals, where he helped the team to a Colonial Hockey League (CoHL) championship. During the 1996-97 season, Schooley played for both the Pensacola Ice Pilots and the Peoria Rivermen of the ECHL. In 2001, Schooley was a head coach at the USA Hockey Select 14 and Select 15 Festival. He also has spoken at USA Hockey youth coaching clinics in Boulder, Colo., Jackson Hole, Wyo., Phoenix, Ariz. and Dallas, Texas. In August of 2002, Schooley gained international coaching experience as he was named an assistant coach with the 2002 United States Under-18 Select Team which placed fifth in the Junior World Cup in Breclav, Czech Republic, and Piestany, Slovakia. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Schooley is married to the former Alicia Batson from Middleville, Mich. They are the proud parents of daughter Kaitlyn,Brendan and Taylor.

This will mark the fourth-straight season that Cowan has worn the C on his sweater, while Kaufman was a captain last year and an assistant captain during the 2004-05 season. Gasper served last season as an assistant captain and will wear the C for the first time this season. Gasper also joins Cowan, Kaufman and Kurt Wright 06 as the only Colonials to ever serve as a captain. Jumble of Seniors Of the 30 players listed on the 2007-08 Robert Morris roster, 14 are seniors, more than all of the other two-classes combined. The 14-member senior class is followed in size by freshman with seven players, sophomore s with six players and juniors with three players. Scheduling Bits The 33-game Robert Morris regular season schedule includes 14 home games and 19 road contests. The Colonials play 12 non-conference contests, plus two exhibition games, in addition to their 20 CHA games. RMU has three games against ECAC teams and one game each against WCHA, CCHA, Hockey East and Atlantic Hockey teams. The Colonials will play five teams for the first time in the programs history this season including Boston University, Wisconsin, Ohio State, Colgate and American International. Robert Morris longest homestand of the season is five games from Oct. 26 through Nov. 16. The Colonials have an eight-game road trip from Dec. 17 through Jan. 26. Olds Friends Four current Colonials were once members of the Olds Grizzlys of the Alberta Junior Hockey League. Brothers, and defensemen, Rob and Dave Cowan both played for Olds as well as senior forward Brett Hopfe and Parker Burgess. Tri-City Boys Two Robert Morris players spent time with the Tri-City Storm prior to becoming a part of the Colonials. Senior David Boguslawski and sophomore Jake Obermeyer played for the Storm. Spanning the Continent The Colonials roster has players from all over North America with 12 different states or provinces represented. Not surprisingly, Alberta leads the way with seven players followed by Ontario with six. Minnesota has four players, Pennsylvania has three, two are from California and Illinois, while British Columbia, New York, Colorado, Michigan, Texas and Washington all have one player on the Colonials roster. On the Road Again The Colonials open the 2007-08 season with four straight games away from the RMU Island Sports Center. They first travel to Anchorage-Alaska for the Nye Frontier Classic where they will play #9 Boston University and Wayne State. RMU will then travel to Madison, Wisc. to take on the 17th ranked Badgers.
