per the STrib:
Just four years ago, the Gophers’ senior class had never heard of Penn State hockey. Now their Senior Day and hopes of another Big Ten championship are in danger of being spoiled by a thriving Nittany Lions program in just its third season of varsity hockey.
Penn State has turned what many thought would be a weak attempt at expanding college hockey into an instant success. In State College, Pa., hockey is one of the hottest tickets in town. It’s already a self-sustaining sport that turned nearly $1 million in positive net revenue last season.
“No one really expected this,” Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said. “I think we were always really optimistic that hockey would be taken to really well at Penn State. The student section sold out in three minutes. I think we’ve sold out every game this year. The atmosphere has been phenomenal. The reports [state] that we’re making over a million dollars.”
