On May 26, 2021 Robert Morris University announced the cancellation of both the men's and women's hockey programs effective immediately as "part of a series of strategic initiatives intended to position the university to be amongst the most agile and professionally focused schools in the nation as it prepares for its upcoming 100th anniversary". The university announced that it would honor all athletic scholarships and would help those wanting to transfer to other universities. They also announced the establishment of a women's club team and three men's club teams.[1] However, a fundraising campaign would end up saving both programs and due to time constraints and logistics both teams are sitting out the 2021-22 playing season.
