Thanks to the research of my good friends Lou Prato and Kyle Rossi, we all know that hockey in Happy Valley has been around for nearly a century.
Now we have more proof thanks to Greg Petrick, father of Icers senior Dan Petrick.
Greg sent these photos to Joe Battista and has graciously allowed me to post them here. As Greg said:
These photos bring back memories of playing pond hockey in my younger days.
Speaking of pond hockey, the NHL on Monday finally made it official,
formally announcing the 2012 NHL Winter Classic will be played at Citizens Bank Ballpark in Philly.
I caught up with Hockey Operations Director Bill Downey following Tuesday's practice to talk about the upcoming season, including that January 4th date with D-III Neumann U. that may - or may not - be a part of the Winter Classic festivities.

My Dad took these in 1948 or 49. He was a member of Phi Gam right across from the IST building. It looks like the rink was built in the front yard of the fraternity based on what I can tell from two of the pictures. Not sure of the rink location of the picture with the single skater.
