"I felt we made a mistake in building a baseball field. I thought that should have been the ice skating rink, because I think hockey in this state right now, not just hockey, but ice skating, if you come up to our office building at 6:00 in the morning, some mornings you can't get a parking spot because parents have taken their kids up here to skate...I think hockey will be a great addition to our intercollegiate program. [The Pegula gift] is a great, great gift. And I think very far-sighted and I'm really pleased with it." - Joe Paterno

M: Penn State 8 vs. West Virginia 0



The Icers (18-3-1), who held on to their No. 1 ranking by the slimmest of margins this week, perhaps bolstered voter confidence with an 8-0 thumping of No. 23 West Virginia Friday night in the Ice Pavilion.

While PSU dominated throughout the game, outshooting the Mountaineers by a 56-17 margin, they didn't crack the game open until a pair of Michael Longo goals 30 seconds apart in the second period. Longo later added a pretty primary assist on a Mike McDonagh goal. Tommy Olczyk had his own pair for PSU, while Paul Daley opened the scoring on a beautiful backhand after motoring down the wing. P.J. Musico earned his second collegiate shutout in the win.

WVU will get another crack at the Icers Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m.
