University Information
Rowan University is a selective, medium-sized public university located in |
Southern New Jersey. With high-tech facilities, engaged professors, and nationally ranked academic and athletic programs, Rowan offers an outstanding education at an exceptional value. Our tree-lined campus contains student residence halls, apartments and townhouses, a new $28.5 million education building, a new $45 million science center, a $28 million engineering building, a Student Recreation Center, theaters, galleries and a NASA planetarium. The University is in
the midst of a $530 million plan to expand the

Communication, Education, Engineering, Fine &
Performing Arts, Liberal Arts & Sciences and
Professional & Continuing Education).
Graduate students can choose from seven
teacher certification programs, 38 master’s

certification programs and a doctoral program
in educational leadership. The University also just announced the new addition of a Medical School in cooperation with Cooper Hospital. Rowan will be one of two schools besides UMDNJ to offer such a program in the Garden State. The University enrolls more than 10,000 full and part time students.
Team Information
Our hockey program is very competitive, with our players playing the game majority of their lives. Our program is part of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (ACHA) D-II and plays under NCAA rules. Over the course of the season, Rowan plays between 30 to 34 regular season games within the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA) as well as showcase tournaments and other non-league play. The season runs over the course of fall and winter terms with the playoffs starting in late February/early March timeframe. The team has its own locker room facilities and travels to all away games on a Rowan University charter bus.
The current coaching staff is committed 100% over the course of the year and the program is run as a top tier program with a lot of NCAA benefits. Rowan's program is a great opportunity for any player to experience hockey at the next level.
The team currently has two on ice practices a week and also has video days to review games. Practice and travel information can be viewed HERE. The team has a few off ice sessions but we encourage all players to work out off the ice on their own. We do send summer workout programs to prospective players.
The team plays at the Hollydell Ice Arena near the campus.
Because we are a Club Sport, scholarships are not given to any players based on sport however in some cases the university provides financial aid based on scholarly achievements. Players have to maintain and provide their own equipment except uniforms, gloves, helmets (goalie helmets excluded), and hockey bags. We are hoping that in the near future to gain enough support to purchase more gear for the team.
There has been a number of rules changes for goalies that requires eleven inch pads. (More Info)
