05/02/2007 8:17 AM - Jim Hulton, men’s hockey coach at RMC for the past year, announced that he is stepping down from his current position to accept an offer from an OHL team.

“We are disappointed to lose someone of Jim’s quality and character, however, at the same time we are pleased with what he brought to the hockey team and RMC,” commented Darren Cates, Director of Athletics. “Jim has been presented with a great opportunity for him and his family, and we know he will continue to champion RMC as a tremendous institution for student-athletes,” he added.

Hulton leaves RMC with a coaching record of 7-23-5, having just missed qualifying for the post-season this past season.

“I have enjoyed working at RMC for the past year and appreciate the support and guidance from all parts of the college,” said Jim. “I greatly value the friendships that I have developed and will remember my tenure at RMC as a positive experience. This was a very difficult decision, but I have accepted an offer that was simply too enticing to refuse, as it affords me a terrific opportunity for professional development. I would like to thank everyone who made my time at RMC such a wonderful experience and wish them many successes in the future.”
The search for his replacement will begin immediately.
