Lawrenceville, NJ - Rider Club Ice Hockey had not touched the ice as a team for over a year and a half due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As the 2021-2022 season approached, the roster came together with two sets of incoming students who had never worn the Cranberry and White, eager to hit the ice together for the first time. With a core group of leaders, Rider Ice’s season began on September 24, versus Montclair State University, with a commanding 10-1 victory. It was only uphill from there for the Broncs, and after 9 games, they remain at 9-0-0, a perfect record.
