College Hockey America announced Saturday that the conference\u2019s postseason championship trophy will be renamed the Robert DeGregorio Cup in honor of retiring CHA commissioner Robert DeGregorio.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made Saturday afternoon as DeGregorio participated in a pre-game puck drop prior to the start of the CHA championship game between Penn State and Mercyhurst at Pegula ice Arena in University Park, Pa.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollege Hockey America has seen considerable growth and change under Bob DeGregorio\u2019s leadership,\u201d CHA board chairman and Syracuse senior associate athletics director Jamie Mullin said in a news release. \u201cWe want to recognize his service and commitment to the conference in a lasting and meaningful way by naming our postseason trophy in his honor.\u201d<\/p>\n

DeGregorio has served as the CHA\u2019s commissioner since the 2010-11 season. The Winthrop, Mass., native oversaw the addition of Lindenwood, Penn State and RIT to the league and the readmittance of Robert Morris for 2023-24 following the Colonials\u2019 reinstatement of their program in December 2021. In 2020-21, he steered the CHA through a season truncated by COVID-19 mandates to deliver regular season and postseason competition for the league\u2019s student-athletes and coaches.<\/p>\n

Nationally, the CHA has appeared in a pair of Frozen Fours during his time at the league\u2019s helm (Mercyhurst in 2013, 2014). Four CHA players have earned All-America honors during his tenure while a pair of league players earned national rookie of the year honors in 2020-21 and 2021-22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
