I think that it's safe to say that everyone is still flying high after Friday's historic day in Hockey Valley. The buzz created by the news of varsity hockey returning to Penn State was amazing, with an overflow crowd at the presser, news that it was the top story on ESPN.com and was even talked about on TSN in Canada!

Athletic Director Tim Curley hosted a social event last night, and it was great to meet new and old friends, swap some stories and talk, talk, talk about hockey!
The gathering gave me a chance to talk more with Terry and Kim Pegula. It comes as no surprise that they are - in a nutshell - hockey parents. Welcome to the family folks.
The exciting day was capped by the fantastic news that Bill Downey has been named the Director of Hockey Operations at Harvard. Somehow, I always pictured the former Icers captain and assistant coach as a "Hahvad" man!
Bill, congrats from everyone in the Icers family. Now, work on getting the Nittany Lions on the Crimson schedule in 2012.
Here's more interviews from Friday, with original "Icer" John Dufford, the aforementioned Tim Curley, and former Icer Ben Bouma.
Had I not looked at my watch late last night, I'm sure that Ben and I would still be sitting at a table at the Nittany Lion Inn talking about the game we love!
