\"\"<\/a>A new entity, the Pittsburgh College Hockey Foundation, released a statement Wednesday evening introducing itself and proclaiming its intentions to bring back the Robert Morris men’s and women’s college hockey teams.<\/p>\n

Both teams were cut by the university in May<\/strong><\/a>, citing a “series of strategic initiatives.” Following that announcement, RMU men’s coach Derek Schooley said the school’s decision was “affecting people’s families.”<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The full statement from foundation president Dan Russell to media members is as follows:<\/p>\n

A month ago today Robert Morris University announced that it was cutting the Men\u2019s & Women\u2019s D1 hockey programs, effective immediately.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The decision affects 55 athletes, seven staff members and countless alumni, program supporters and the community that surrounds it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Two days after that decision a large group of Alumni met on a video call to discuss what we could do. The result is the newly created Pittsburgh College Hockey Foundation.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The goal is quite simple; to right this wrong and bring D1 College Hockey back to Pittsburgh.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We are actively soliciting donations from the public through our GoFundMe page at https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/save-rmu-hockey<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We will also be seeking out larger donations from individuals and corporations as well as supporting any efforts that will help to bring D1 Hockey back to RMU.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

We are working on receiving expedited approval for tax exempt status from the IRS so that all donations can be tax deductible.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I would like to thank you for all of the support you have shown this cause in your coverage thus far! Rest assured, we aren\u2019t going anywhere!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

If you have any questions, comments, suggestions or thoughts of support please feel free to email me!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you,<\/strong><\/em>
\nDan Russell<\/strong><\/em>
