Rob Morgan was named the inaugural head coach of the LIU Brooklyn women's ice hockey program that is scheduled to start play as a member of the New England Women's Hockey Alliance (NEWHA) in 2019-20.

Morgan comes to LIU after spending 2018 in China developing professional women's hockey. He was the head coach of the Vanke Rays professional women's ice hockey club team, one of two Chinese expansion clubs in the Canadian Women's Hockey League.
 
The Vanke Rays and the Kunlun Red Star programs were started as a part of creating a successful long-term development plan for women's ice hockey in China as the nation prepared to host the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Morgan also served as associate head coach of the Chinese national hockey team.

Prior to his stint in China, Morgan spent two seasons as associate head coach of the Yale women's ice hockey team. Morgan helped the Bulldogs earn a berth in the ECAC Hockey playoffs. During his two seasons with the team, Yale had five players earn All-Ivy League recognition and one earn All-ECAC Hockey honors.

In addition to his time at Yale, Morgan went 78-49-12 in five seasons as the head coach at St. Norbert's, earning NCHA Coach of the Year honors after leading the team to a school-record 19 wins during the 2013-14 season. He was named NCAA Division III West Region Coach of the Year after leading the Green Knights to an NCHA title in 2012-13. St. Norbert's made its first NCAA Division III Tournament appearance that year, falling to No. 1 Plattsburgh State in a national quarterfinal game.
 
Morgan also spent six years at Dartmouth (2003-04 through 2008-09), helping the Big Green to five NCAA Tournament appearances -- including three straight from 2007 through 2009. In his time at Dartmouth Morgan coached four Olympians, 13 Under-22 national team players and one All-American.
