Congratulations to Coach Scott Balboni and the Penn State Icers who finished a great season last night. Unfortunately, their season ended with
a 3-0 loss to Illinois in the semifinals of the ACHA Division I Championship. Thirteen seniors played their last game last night including State
College's own Andrew Magulick whom I had the pleasure to coach both as a
PeeWee (9-11 years old) and when he was in High School. I wish the seniors the best in whatever they choose to do.
I saw more games this year than I have in the last two. Penn State swept Illinois in the last regular season series they played, but that didn't translate into success last night. While I didn't listen to the game, after I saw the score, Battista's First Law of Hockey came to mind: "In hockey the best team always wins, unless the goalie stands on his head!" Apologies to the hockey jargon impaired; no I can't explain it. I'm not sure I understand what JoeBa's talking about myself.
Here's hoping future Icers teams are on the good side of goalie "head stands."
