Rowan off to a good start

The Rowan Ice Hockey Profs are off to a good start as they won their 2009 home opener 8-3 against rival TCNJ to go 2-0 on the season. After putting big numbers against Kutztown in their first game, the Profs put eight more against their cross state rivals in what ended up being a hard fought game. With alumni from the 1980's chanting on with fellow Rowan supporters as well as the pep band Rowan seemed determined to not repeat their mistakes from last year and dominated throughout. The start of the game was marked by the ceremonial puck drop by the President of Rowan University Dr. Donald Farish which was followed by some great action. TCNJ played well but it wasn't enough for the determined Profs as they went and out shot the Lions 50-27. Except for a few minor incidents, the overall outcome seemed pleasing to Rowan coaching staff. "We played hard tonight and kept moving the puck pretty well," associate head coach Mike Husek said. "We knew it was going to be a tough game but we made sure we went over the things to get past their two number one guys. And it worked." Next on the schedule is another league game against St. Joseph's University which is Sunday October 4 at 5:20 PM.
