The Flyers
The Lewis University ice hockey program made it's inaugural season in the 2010-2011 season of the American Collegiate Hockey Association (also known as the ACHA) competing in Division II and recently joined the Mid-American College Hockey Association (MACHA) Sliver North. Joining late in the 2010-11 seaon, the Lewis Flyers had a short schedule of seven ACHA regulation games, and a few scrimmage games (pre- ACHA).
In the 2011-12 season, the Flyers finished their 21 game ACHA season 6-15 and had an over all record of 7-17. They competed in the Challange Cup hosted by Robert Morris University. The Flyers made it to the championship game but fell to RMU-White. With a rough start to the season, the team turned their game around and finished strong with a 5-2 in their last 7 games with a 5 game win streak. The Flyers Hockey team is excited for the 2012-13 season to start. The season schedule is made and some good teams are in line.
Thanks to the hard work of the Board of Director and a full-time coaching staff adjustment lead by Head Coach Tim Picco and Assistant Coach DJ Orzechowski, the Flyers have completed another full season with remarkable gains all around. Lewis Flyers finished the 2012-13 season over .500 an overall record 15-9 in ACHA and 7-2 In MACHA. They flipped there season record, added much needed depth to the program and gained acknowledgement in hockey leagues around the country. As one successful season comes to an end, the start to the next is already beginning. The Flyers will be increasing their game schedule along with the competition level in the 2013-14 season. The teams for next season will include Big 10 Northwestern University, Loyola University of Chicago, Notre Dame, Youngstown State University D1 and University of Illinois to name a few. Check back for schedule updates for dates/times and location of these events.
