The Penn State Icers had little time to savor the weekend and season sweep of the Ohio Bobcats before getting ready for a visit by the Oklahoma Sooners.
The team bus arrived back in Hockey Valley around four on Sunday morning. I'd forgotten how much fun that return trip could be! Less than 36 hours later the coaches on Monday afternoon put the squad through an up-tempo practice with an eye on this weekend's visit by the Sooners.
Oklahoma, currently ranked 8th, is 4 and 2 since the Icers hung a 3-0 shutout on them in Norman on January 7.
After taking two from twelfth-ranked Illinois (6-3 and 5-0) and sweeping #2 Arizona State by identical 3-1 scores, the Sooners last weekend were swept at home by #10 Minot State by 3-0 and 3-1 margins.
I caught up with Coach Gadowsky and George Saad after Monday's practice. George had the tying and insurance goals in Saturday's 4-1 victory at the Bird Arena, giving him 8 goals on the season and 28 in his career.
Coach says the team played five good periods of hockey last weekend. They'll need to make it six this weekend against the other OU.

Wolverine fan here. What's the personnel situation looking like for the start of B1G play? Also, what's your opinion on how long it's going to take the team to start being competitive on a yearly basis with the 5 others teams in the league? Have to admit, PSU has been my 2nd team in the league since they joined and I'm really excited for the start of B1G hockey.
