Adrian College men’s varsity recognized through House Resolution 1059

ADRIAN, Mich. – This fall the United States House of Representatives passed House Resolution 1059 which recognizes the Adrian College men’s varsity hockey team for their accomplishments as an inaugural team in 2007-08.

Last year the Bulldogs had an outstanding season with 26 wins and 3 losses. They received many accolades as a team and as individual players. Captain Adam Krug was named MCHA Player of the Year and at-the-time freshmen Eric Miller, Shawn Skelly, Chris Stansik, Quinn Waller, and Brad Fogal were named MCHA All-Conference; Rob Hodnicki also received MCHA All-Academic honors.

H. Resolution 1059 “congratulates the Adrian College Bulldogs men’s hockey team for winning the MCHA regular season title and postseason tournament.”

There are 420 NCAA Div. III schools across the country, making it the NCAA’s largest division. The 2007-08 Adrian College Bulldogs, guided by head coach Ron Fogarty, hold the record for having the best first year win-loss record in NCAA Div. III history.

The Resolution also “recognizes the significant achievements of the players, coaches, students, alumni, and support staff whose dedication and hard work helped the Bulldogs achieve remarkable success during its first season.”

Last March, the Bulldogs won the Harris Cup at the MCHA postseason tournament in Milwaukee. The team earned national ranking and consideration for the NCAA tournament. They averaged almost eight goals a game and won their final 20 games in a row.

The 2008-09 Bulldogs return to the ice in their home opener vs. Neumann College this Saturday, Nov.1; the puck drops at 7 P.M. at Arrington Ice Arena. The players will be recognized before the game with the unveiling of the 2007-08 MCHA regular season and playoff championship banners.
