More on Nittany Lions Hockey

Still buzzing about the news from Happy Valley? I know I am, two full days after Friday's press conference and festivities!

Thanks to John Mulhern for forwarding another article about the announcement and the impact of Penn State joining the ranks of NCAA Division I hockey.

By the way, overdue congratulations to John and his wife Cindy, who are expecting a baby girl early in the new year. Life in Boise, Idaho is good for my former broadcast partner and our "adopted son."

This is from Ryan Kennedy at The Hockey News.
During a summer where high-profile player defections to major junior and the pro ranks humbled the college game, the announcement of a Nittany Lions squad taking root is huge news – and not just for those in the greater State College, Pa. area.

“I think it’s a very good thing,” said Paul Kelly of College Hockey Inc., which is hosting a scouting event in Toronto this weekend for NCAA schools. “With Penn State, you’re adding a world-class academic and athletic institution. It’s a boost not only to hockey, but sports overall.”
