On April 13, 2006, the Pittsburgh Hornets unveiled the "Wall of Fame" - a display at the Robert Morris University Island Sports Center to honor our eleven former players who have been NHL draft picks. The Wall of Fame is located on a wall near the front entrance to the Collegiate Rink. The eleven Hornets' alumni who are honored are:
Player / Draft Team / Draft Yr. / College-Jr. Team
