Written by Sports Town on .

Senior forward Colin South, a Quaker Valley graduate, will be the Robert Morris hockey team's captain for the 2013-14 season after serving as an assistant captain this year.

“We are very pleased to name Colin South for the captain of the 2013-2014 Robert Morris Hockey Team,” said head coach Derek Schooley. "Colin has really matured as a hockey player and a person over the past season and has big shoes to fill as last year’s captains did an excellent job but feel he is ready to lead our program to the next level."

South will follow in the footsteps of departed senior Brendan Jamison who led Robert Morris to the program’s best record and first 20-win season. South, whose graduating class has never had a losing season, recorded 13 goals and 14 assists for 27 points in 36 games played. Over the course of this past season, South took just one minor penalty while providing a team-high five power-play goals.
