Robert Morris Island Sports Center rink renamed Clearview Arena

There’s a new name on the marquee at the Robert Morris Island Sports Center complex.

Colonials Arena will now be Clearview Arena as part of Clearview’s role as the official credit union of RMU athletics.

The university and credit union announced the partnership Tuesday.

There will be updated logos and signage at the main rink, including on the scoreboards, entrance doors, walkways and on the Zamboni.

“The Clearview Federal Credit Union brand mirrors the excellence that Robert Morris University and RMU athletics is known for, and we truly wanted a partner who is identified within the Pittsburgh region and involved in the local community,” RMU vice president and director of athletics Chris King said. “We are grateful to RMU’s Institutional Advancement team for bringing this premier partnership together.”

The Robert Morris Island Sports Center opened in 1998, and Robert Morris purchased the facility in 2004. The complex includes two indoor ice arenas, outdoor multi-purpose rinks, indoor driving range and sports dome, athletic track and field, pro shot and bistro.

The Robert Morris men’s and women’s hockey teams, as well as the cross country, track and field and rowing programs also utilize the facilities.

“We’re excited about the opportunity this partnership gives us,” Clearview CEO Ron Celaschi said. “Our commitment to western Pennsylvania and to the health and education of our youth is demonstrated through this partnership with RMU. We are proud to be part of this extraordinary university and its outstanding facilities.”

The former Collegiate Arena at RMU Island Sports Center also was named Clearview Arena in 2007. Then, 84 Lumber held naming rights from 2012-17 before it was renamed Colonials Arena.
