The 2013-2014 season sees the Fordham University ice hockey program now entering its 44th campaign. The team hit the ice in early September skating twice a week to prepare for its 16-game league schedule which kicks off mid-October. In the teams first 6 exhibition games the team went 3-1-2 and returned from its yearly trip to the Ice Works College Showcase in Ashton PA with an impressive game against Nationally Ranked Alvenia and its only loss so far at the hands of Neumann.
These games give the team a chance to bond, get in shape and see exactly what is needed to have success over the course of the season, stated Head Coach Rich Guberti. The Rams will play 30 games this season with a number of them against Nationally ranked teams. Our goal is always to make the playoff, get Nationally ranked and then bring home a MCHC championship, Guberti added.
