Good morning,
After a thorough search process, we are excited to announce the appointment of our new C. Lloyd Bauer ’55 Endowed Head Coach, Eric Lang. With a proven track record of winning and a deep passion for developing student-athletes, I am thrilled to have Eric leading our team into the upcoming season!
He brings a wealth of experience, having previously led American International College to 155 victories and three NCAA Division I Men’s Hockey tournament appearances in his nine seasons as head coach. His hockey IQ, dedication to student-athlete growth, and understanding of what RPI Hockey means to all of us in this community aligned perfectly with our vision for success.
Join us in welcoming Eric, his wife Christine, and their children Addison, EJ, Reese, and Drew to our RPI Hockey family. I look forward to seeing the positive impact they will have on our team and the community.
I extend my sincere gratitude to all of you for your support during this process. Your feedback and vision for the future of the program were kept at the front of my mind as we searched for our next leader. I especially want to thank Neil Herberg ’87 for serving as a part of the search committee.
Stay tuned for more details on a press conference and updates as we prepare for an exciting season ahead!
Let’s Go Red!
