WE DID IT!
In only a few days we reached our goal- thank you to all our donors. We will continue the remaining time fundraising to help our program and players. Thank you for your support!
We are the RPI Men’s Hockey team. Our hockey program is a two-time NCAA Champion, and has been to the NCAA tournament nine times. Our 4 pillars, with which we build our program around are Commitment, Integrity, Discipline, and Family.
Our program has tremendous history and tradition, and we have produced over 27 NHL players, including Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Adam Oates and long-time NHL player Joe Juneau. Most recent professional hockey alumni include Brandon Pirri, Jason Kasdorf, Erik Burgdoerfer, and more. Together with RPI, we have helped shape proud graduates that have gone on to successful careers in professional hockey as well as many different areas within society for decades!
We are raising support to assist in the purchase of personal FitBit devices for each of our student-athletes. These wearable devices would be able to provide feedback and information on individual sleep habits as well as using advanced sleep tools and sleep tracking of light, deep, and REM, which provides a specific sleep score. In addition, the ability to measure daily work load through 24/7 heart rate tracking and health and fitness tracking will provide our hockey players with the type of information they crave, so awareness and recovery are at the forefront of their training regiments. Additional features that will benefit the players are having cardio fitness score, guided breathing sessions, 24/7 heart rate tracking, all-day activity tracking, resting heart rate monitor, and all-day calorie burn.
You have an opportunity to directly contribute to our team. Your tax-deductible gift will be allocated directly to Men's Hockey. Thank you for your consideration in supporting student-athletes. With your help, we will continue to excel on and off the ice.
Through the generosity of Eric Ren '94 and his wife, Bridget Milot Ren, any current student-athlete donation (up to 250 students) of $5 or more will be matched with $10 towards the team's goal. Also, the top 5 teams with the highest percentage of student-athlete and coaching staff donors will win an extra $500 toward their goal.
