Stevenson University announced on Friday that is adding men’s hockey as its 27th NCAA Division III sport with the team’s inaugural season set for 2016-17 where the Mustangs will join the ECAC West.<\/p>\n
The university has already begun its search for a head coach. The team will use Reisterstown Sportsplex in Reisterstown, Md., as its game and practice facility.<\/p>\n
“We are extremely excited to welcome Stevenson into the ECAC Men’s West Hockey League,” said ECAC president Dr. Kevin McGinniss in a news release. “Stevenson has been an innovative athletics program and adding men’s ice hockey is yet another reminder of the University’s strong commitment to its student-athletes. Stevenson will be a great addition to an already extremely competitive league.”<\/p>\n
The Stevenson women’s team, which just completed its third season, posted a program-best 16-8-1 record this year.<\/p>\n
“The success of our women’s ice hockey team really paved the way for the addition of a men’s program,” added Stevenson director of athletics Brett Adams. “Not only is our women’s squad enjoying success on the ice, but the quality of student-athletes that we are attracting through the program fits Stevenson University perfectly. We are excited to offer this opportunity to men’s ice hockey players from across the region as well.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
