The 2009–10 RIT Tigers men's ice hockey season was the Tigers' 45th season of varsity hockey and fifth at the NCAA Division I level. They represented Rochester Institute of Technology in the 2009–10 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season. The team was coached by Wayne Wilson in his eleventh season as the program's head coach and played most of their home games at the Frank Ritter Memorial Ice Arena. One home game was played at the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester, New York.
The season was highlighted by the Tigers' first Atlantic Hockey tournament title, first Division I NCAA tournament appearance, victories over Denver and New Hampshire to win the East Regional, and the team's first Frozen Four appearance.
The team was the Chairman's Choice for induction into the Frontier Field Walk of Fame in 2010, in recognition of their Frozen Four berth.
The Rochester Red Wings honored the RIT Men’s Hockey team at Frontier Field on May 17, 2010. Any fans who wore RIT gear received $1 off the purchase of their tickets. As part of a pre-game ceremony, Head Coach Wayne Wilson and RIT President Bill Destler were on hand to accept a key to the city and a proclamation from Monroe County Executive Maggie Brooks. RIT captain Dan Ringwald threw out the ceremonial first pitch.[1]
In 2011, RIT's University News service received the 'Best In Show' PRism award from the Rochester chapter of the Public Relations Society of America for its coverage of the team's Frozen Four appearance.[2]
