FROM the BENCH Greetings to All Robert Morris University Sport Management Students, Alumni and Friends The Robert Morris University Sport Management Newsletter Summer 2009 FROM THE BENCH Greetings to all Robert Morris University Sport Management students, alumni and friends. It’s been a busy year and below are a few highlights and thoughts about what has been going on at the university, with Sport Management, as well as the current economic status in the industry. • This past spring the RMU School of Business achieved initial accreditation by AACSB International– The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, joining only 5 percent of business schools worldwide to carry this prestigious recognition. AACSB International is an association of educational institutions, businesses, and other organizations recognized worldwide as the premier accrediting agency of collegiate business schools and accounting programs. This highly coveted recognition represents the peak standard of achievement for business schools; only 560 business schools in the world have achieved AACSB accreditation, and only one-third of business schools in the United States. With Sport Management being housed in the School of Business, this accreditation establishes greater credibility for the education and professional preparation of our students. • With the leadership of Harry Leckemby (SM BSBA 1987), there is now a RMU Sport Management Alumni group on Linkedin. Currently, approximately 100 alumni, faculty and friends of the program have joined this group. This is a great tool for networking, communicating as well as staying in touch with the university. If you use Linkedin and would like to join the network contact Harry at [email protected] or myself at [email protected] . • The economy has seriously impacted the sports and entertainment industry with the loss of sponsorship dollars and a decline in ticket and suite renewal sales –resulting in drastic budget cutbacks along with the layoffs of outstanding sport industry professionals. A key factor is the change of the activity and relationships with local businesses as well as national and international corporations. Although the economy is certain to rebound, do not count on the return of the corporate culture and spending practices of the 1990s and early 2000s. Advice from our alumni and leading industry professionals in managing and planning for these tough times: focus on your sales and customer service skills as well as creating value and developing new business models and revenue streams. Last –but most important –relationships matter, with your fans/clients, sponsors, vendors, employees and colleagues. In closing, we need your help to write the newsletter, to continue building an alumni network and supporting the RMU Student Sport Management Conference as well as assisting students with career development and job placement. Remember to check the sport management website at www.rmu.edu/sportmanagement . Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 412-397-3416 to learn how to get involved and find out how we might be able to help you. Also, please let other RMU Sport Management alumni know about us and have them contact us with their updates. Thank you for your support and we look forward to hearing from you.

His primary duties include the overall leadership, administration and assessment of the men's and women's cross country, men's and women's track & field, men's and women's swimming and diving, women's rowing, and women's soccer programs. This includes the supervision of 18 coaches and four full-time administrative support staff with a combined budget of more than $1.5 million for these sports. Chris started his UA career in 2002 as the associate director of athletics for compliance. In 2008 he was named to the National Center for Responsible Gaming Task Force on College Gambling coordinated through the Institute for Research on Pathological Gambling and Related Disorders, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School. His passion for working in athletics is creating a quality experience for the student athletes along with the professional development of his staff and coaches. Chris King Chris’s recipe for success: pay attention to the details and create a positive environment Prior to his job with the Crimson Tide, Chris served as the assistant athletic director for compliance at University of Central Florida and was responsible for the administration of the athletics compliance program and the student wellness programs within the Department of Athletics. In starting out his career, he was a graduate assistant in the Department of Athletics at Campbell University and earned his master’s degree in educational leadership and supervision in 1997. Chris and his wife Alicia are expecting their first child in October. Chris got his introduction to the world of intercollegiate athletics by doing an internship with the Robert Morris University Department of Athletics under the mentorship of Mr. Tom Olson, the director of compliance at that time. He credits his professional success to the advisement and encouragement of the RMU Sport Management faculty and athletic staff that included Bob McBee, Susan Hofacre and David Synowka. His advice to RMU Sport Management students: the best way learn is to actually gaining hands-on experience as well as building and maintaining relationships. Finally, one should always maintain a strong sense of ethics and values in your personal and professional affairs.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives.

(Signature) Department of or’ i4tJM4J kifl cç The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date 9/,79y DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT This study examined the development of the first professional ice hockey league, the International Hockey League, and its relationships with amateur and professional leagues and ideals, in both Canada and the United States, during the first decade of the twentieth century. Following the historical method, relying primarily on newspapers reports from the towns involved with the League during that period, a chronological-thematic narrative was written to analyze the following hypotheses: a) the League played an important role in the development of professional hockey in Canada, b) the League and its members reflected and affected attitudes toward professional hockey in Canada and the U.S., c) the operations and play levels of the League were the direct result of several influential individuals and events.
