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.
