Soon this guy will be driving a Zamboni at an elite level.After an $88 million donation, Penn State will have NCAA Division 1 Hockey starting in the 2012-2013 season.
It's about time this happened. There have been rumors for years but it's nice to hear that it actually built up to something. Given, they're going to be terrible for quite some time (Ohio State sucks and they have a ton of money to throw around) and they're going to get smacked around in whichever league they play in (either the CCHA or the WCHA), but good for Penn State. It's a school that had no excuse for not having a program with its large athletic program and built in fan base. College hockey may not be on par with the OHL or QMJHL up in Canada, but it's fun to watch and will be a good experience for their students. Nothing better than a couple cases of Natty and some college puck.
