RIT hockey became a national force to be reckoned with after winning the 1983 NCAA Division II Championship and 1985 NCAA Division III Championship. RIT’s success in 1983 jumpstarted an era in which they advanced to 13 NCAA Tournaments over a 20-year span. The success allowed RIT to make the successful leap to Division in 2005. In 1982-83, RIT advanced to its first NCAA Tournament and made an incredible run, defeating Mankato State in a two-game total goal series, 9-7, before knocking off heavy favorite and host UMass Lowell, 4-1 in the semifinals and Bemidji State in the championship by a score of 4-2 to claim its first championship. The Tigers finished 23-9-0 that season, out-scoring its opponents, 191-109.

ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 2017-18 MEN’S ICE HOCKEY | 17 RIT's 2010, 2015 and 2016 NCAA Tournament Runs

The Tigers have made three NCAA Tournament appearances in their Division I history, in 2010, 2015, and 2016. The 2009-10 RIT men’s hockey team became the story of Divi- sion I college hockey after enjoying a magical run to the NCAA Frozen Four in just its fifth season at the Division I level. 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 finished 28-12-1. RIT was the only team in Division I to win both its conference regular season and conference championships. The Tigers swept Connecticut in the quarterfinals before shutting out Canisius 4-0 in the semifinals, and trouncing Sacred Heart 6-1 in the championship game. 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. In 2014-15, RIT swept long-time rival Air Force Academy in the league quarterfinals. In the league semifinal against No. 2 seed Canisius, RIT hang on for a 2-1 win. The following night, the Tigers won their second Atlantic Hockey title and advanced to the NCAA Tournament, defeating Mercyhurst, 5-1. The Tigers faced off against No. 1 overall seed Minnesota State at Notre Dame in the NCAA Midwest Regional Semifinal and shocked the college hockey world with a 2-1 win. It was the first time a No. 16 seed beat the top overall seed since the tournament moved to 16 teams in 2003. In the Midwest Regional Championship, RIT and Nebraska- Omaha were scoreless into the third period before the Maver- icks scored four times to end magical postseason run. In 2015-16, RIT came into the league tournament as the No. 5 seed and knocked off Mercyhurst in the quarterfinal series before rallying to defeat No. 2 seed Air Force in overtime in the semifinal. The Tigers exploded with a season-high seven goals to knock off top-seed Robert Morris to win their second straight league title. Once again, the Tigers would be the No. 16 seed, going up against No. 1 Quinnipiac in the East Regional at Albany. The Tigers would outplay Quinnipiac for many stretches, giving them all they could handle before bowing out.

ROCHESTER INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY 2017-18 MEN’S ICE HOCKEY | 25 A New Era: The Gene Polisseni Center

History was made in 2014-15, as the Tigers moved into the 4,300-seat Gene Polisseni Center after playing the previous 46 years at storied Ritter Arena. Dedicated on Sept. 18, 2014, the Tigers would open the arena with an exhibition contest against Brock University on Oct. 4. On Oct. 10, the Tigers opened the arena in style, knocking off St. Lawrence, 5-2. The Tigers held a pair of fundraising iniatives in 2014-15, supporting Greater Rochester's "One Team One Fight" organization and the Testicular Cancer Foundation of Western New York. RIT sold out the Polisseni Center for the first time on Oct. 24, 2015, as a raucous crowd of 4,300 fans saw President Bill Destler dye his hair orange between the second and third periods in the game against Colgate. Destler issued a dare to the RIT community saying that if the game was a sellout, he would dye his hair orange. The Tigers won Atlantic Hockey Championships in each of their first two years in the new building.
