The Commish

Last Wednesday the Nittany Hockey League (aka Geriatric Hockey) paid tribute to NHL Commissioner Ron "The Commish" Weis on the occasion of his 70th birthday.  A few of weeks ago, Ron was lamenting that he wasn't going to be on the ice for his 70th birthday, so a couple of the guys rented the ice for a "Weezers vs. Geezers" game and held a party for him afterward. Ron has done great things for the Centre County ice hockey community, growing the league from 3 teams to nine.  The current league has about 180 participants.  In addition, we have the over 35 "Weezers vs. Geezers" game on Tuesday nights.

Thanks to Jay Horgas for coming up with the idea and Joe Battista for getting some press coverage and a congratulations letter from AD Tim Curley.

Wishing you many more years, "Commish!"
