Robert Morris Alumni Chases NHL Dream

A Baldwin-native and RMU alum earns a spot on the Toronto Maple Leafs and begins his pro-hockey career.

Watching Mario Lemieux bring home Lord Stanley’s Cup to the City of Pittsburgh over two decades ago incited Denny Urban’s passion for hockey. It started in the Pittsburgh youth leagues, cultivated into a successful high school career, through coveted positions in hockey’s junior leagues, and eventually to Robert Morris University, where he earned a Division 1 scholarship. One of a growing list of local hockey talent, the Baldwin defenseman is living his dream, not only earning a trip to the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp but playing professional minor league hockey, even if it is in the lower-tier East Coast Hockey League. “I cannot say I ever imagined myself doing anything other than playing hockey,” said the 24 year old in an email …

Former RMU Quarterback Finds Hope After Leg Amputation

A young Robert Morris University alum and football coach has vowed to use the loss of his leg to inspire others.

Camdin Crouse said he remembers every minute of it—lying in the bed of a pick-up truck with the bone in his left leg piercing through his skin.  Crouse, a 2010 Robert Morris University graduate and the Colonials' former quarterback, had been on a fishing trip with a friend near his native Snow Shoe, PA. The two were heading back home along the region's rail-to-trails paths, when it began to rain.  "I remember everything," he said. "It started raining and it started to get a little dark and it started to get a little slick on the trails."  Crouse's four-wheeler struck a downed tree limb, causing him to loose control of the vehicle.  In the weeks following that accident, Crouse, a graduate assistant quarterback coach for the Colonials and …

Robert Morris University announced Tuesday it will replace longtime football coach Joe Walton with RMU assistant head coach John Banaszak at the conclusion of the 2013 season.  Walton signed a two-year contract extension in September to continue his nearly 20-year tenure at the university through the 2013 season. Banaszak has spent nine season with the Colonials.
