I suppose that should be "Two guy of whom I'm proud" but does anyone really say that?
I've been coaching ice hockey for about 16 years now and I've coached the State College Varsity team for about six. Tonight I'm going to watch two guys participate in their first Penn State Blue/White Hockey Game. Kurt Collins played for me for 3 years, then played some Junior Hockey (or "Played Junior" as we say up North) and made the team this year. Dan Petrick went a less traditional route going from high school right to the Penn State Icers. Both of these first year guys will be in action along with State College alum and Penn State senior Andrew Magulick tonight at 9:15 at the Penn State Ice Rink. Dan and Kurt will be filling the gap left by State College's own (by way of Minnesota) Keith Jordan who finished his career with the Icers last year.
Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of most of the guys who have played for me over the years, but it's great to see our local guys playing at the next level.
Good Luck Dan, Kurt, and Andrew. I'll see you tonight!
