UB77 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 LIU has announced the start of a Division I hockey team. They will be playing at the NY Islanders practice facility in Nassau County. "The newest team to college hockey is Long Island University-Brooklyn. The school surprised many when it announced in April that it would start a men’s program that would compete right away in 2020-21. LIU has been busy lately, hiring inaugural head coach Brett Riley and adding recruits left and right. However, few expect the Sharks to be competitive right away next season. Yet, Mark Divver reports that the program is putting together a strong schedule for their first season. While LIU will be an independent in their inaugural campaign and likely won’t be able to schedule a full Division I slate of games, Divver notes that the team is expected to play their first game against UMass Lowell and square off with Boston College, Boston University, and Wisconsin as well." The new coach even has some old ties to the Sabres. https://gocolgateraiders.com/staff-directory/brett-riley/534 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
