1 2 Big Life. Big Stage. Big Ten. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference’s standard of competing at the highest level in athletics also endures as an important component of the Big Ten experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its students not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.

NITTANY LION HOCKEY HISTORY


2019-20 PENN STATE HOCKEY

NITTANY LION HOCKEY HISTORY HOCKEY VALLEY TIMELINE EARLY YEARS LATE 1800s-EARLY 1900s Many of Penn State’s 300 students play pickup hockey on flooded outdoor rinks. 1906-09 Students primarily from the Pittsburgh area organize a hockey team with the intent to seek official approval for an intercollegiate varsity team by the University’s Athletic Association, which oversaw all Penn State sports. DECEMBER 1909 On Christmas night, the first Penn State hockey team, led by captain Herb Baetz, plays its first-ever intercollegiate game against Carnegie Tech at the Duquesne Gardens in Pittsburgh. Less than a week later, Penn State travels to the Duquesne Gardens once more, and falls to Pittsburgh, 2-1. JANUARY 21, 1910 University’s Athletic Association rejects an official bid to sponsor ice hockey as an official varsity sport. Penn State students fight to elevate the program for the next two decades.

WINTER 1938 Eight members of the Sigma Phi fraternity form an independent hockey team. FEBRUARY 1938 On Feb. 12, the team plays an exhibition game against Lakemont, an independent amateur team, in Altoona, Pennsylvania, with Al Hook, a physical education professor, serving as team coach. Ten days later, the independent squad suits up for its first intercollegiate game against Pittsburgh at the Duquesne Gardens, losing 4-0.

contest Jan. 27, when the team was finally able to play on flooded tennis courts. Three hundred bleachers were also put in for the event. The team competes in 11 games during the season and compiled a 3-8-0 record.

THE FIRST VARSITY ERA MARCH-MAY 1940 Hockey and skiing are put before the students at the All-College Elections. Two months later, hockey is voted as an official varsity sport as the Athletic Association approved the measure by a 651-35 majority vote. DECEMBER 6, 1940 Penn State plays its first game as a varsity sport at the Shaffer Ice Palace in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The Nittany Lions defeat Carnegie Tech, 3-1, with John Dufford scoring the first goal in Penn State varsity history. After the first season, the University’s Athletic Advisory Board granted hockey full status with full financial support. Up until that time, the team was able to make its own schedule and handle its own finances. The team uses Rec Hall as its practice facility as several attempts for an outdoor rink throughout the years is unsuccessful. 1940-44 SEASONS Although there is on-ice success, the United States’ involvement in World War II, combined with the lack of availability of ice on campus,

has a devastating effect on the viability of Penn State Hockey. With many teams dropping the sport, Penn State only plays four games during the 194243 season, including just two collegiate contests. Ravaged by the war, Coach Davis and Penn State prepared for the 1943-44 season with only three members from the previous year’s squad after losing most of its members to military and civilian enrollment. With the effects of the war being felt throughout the University, the Athletic Association announces that the suspensions of six sports as a war-time economy measure: hockey, cross country, swimming, gymnastics, tennis and golf. 1946-47 SEASON Following the end of World War II, the team returns for one final season. James O’Hora, a new addition to the football coaching staff, is selected to lead Penn State for the 194647 season. The Nittany Lions are scheduled to play seven games, but four contests are eventually cancelled due to warm weather. Following the season, the Athletic Association drops hockey once more, citing limited facilities. It will be 25 years until organized hockey returns to Penn State.

1938-39 SEASON Prior to the start of the 1938-39 campaign, Dr. Carl P. Schott, Dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, approves appropriations of $100 for the team. Dr. Arthur F. Davis, who also coached the first four seasons of varsity hockey at Penn State, is named the team’s head coach. In the beginning of the season, the team practices indoors at the Armory building or outside on the pond at Whipple Dam, and plays three games. 1939-40 SEASON Penn State joins the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate League with the University of Pennsylvania, Hershey Jr. Cubs, Lehigh and Lafayette. During the season, Rec Hall becomes the team’s indoor practice facility. The team’s “home” rink was more than 100 miles away in Hershey. Penn State plays its first true home

The men’s hockey team earns another win, taking the Pep Rally Dance competition that results in a viral video. MARCH 7, 2015 Penn State looked to close Pegula Ice Arena in style for the 2014-15 campaign and to send off its seniors in fine fashion. It takes a total team effort as the Nittany Lions hold off Michigan for a 4-3 win and earn a sweep of the Wolverines for the first time. Penn State finishes the season 13-2-3 in Hockey Valley, the second best mark in college hockey for the season.

THE PEGULA FAMILY

GOPSUSPORTS.COM

THE PEGULAS

On Sept. 17, 2010, Penn State graduate, Terry Pegula, and his wife, Kim, donated $88 million to his alma mater—the largest private gift in the history of the school—to fund a stateof-the-art, multi-purpose arena and to help elevate the University’s men’s hockey program to the NCAA Division I level. In April 2012, the Pegulas announced they would increase their donation to the Nittany Lion hockey program to $102 million. Thanks to their generosity, Penn State added both men’s and women’s varsity hockey, with both teams beginning play at Pegula Ice Arena in 2013-14. The building includes two ice sheets and serves as the only major ice facility within an 80-mile radius of State College. In addition to providing hockey and figure skating opportunities for the entire central Pennsylvania region, it is also used for a broad range of campus and community activities. A native of Rochester, New York, Kim Pegula is a 1991 graduate of Houghton College with a degree in communications and has been involved with East Resources, Inc. since 1991. In 2011, Kim donated $12 million to her alma mater to support the construction of new athletic facility, the Kerr-Pegula Sports Complex. Together, the Pegulas have expanded their interests in the sports field by acquiring Atlanta-based France AllPro Athlete Management, a high-profile NFL player agent firm headed by Todd France, in December 2011. The Pegulas also own Impact Sports Performance, an elite athletic training facility in Boca Raton, Florida. Beyond the sports world, Terry and Kim also founded Black River Entertainment, a country music label based in Nashville, Tennessee.

Terry and Kim currently reside in Boca Raton, Florida, and have five children: Michael, Laura, Jessica, Kelly, and Matthew.

EAST RESOURCES

In 1983, 10 years after he graduated from Penn State, Terry Pegula borrowed $7,500 from family and friends to establish East Resources Inc., an independent oil and gas exploration and development company. Over the next 27 years, he built it into one of the largest privately held companies in the United States. In July 2010, Royal Dutch Shell purchased the assets of East Resources Inc. for $4.7 billion. That sale allowed the Pegulas to make their first foray into the hockey world with their transformational gift to Penn State.

BUFFALO SABRES

Back in 1983, Terry Pegula told his business partner, Robert H. Long Jr., “If I ever have more than two nickels to my name, I’m going to buy the Buffalo Sabres one day.” Almost 30 years later, Pegula’s dream came to fruition. On Feb. 22, 2011, Pegula became the fourth owner in Buffalo Sabres franchise history. The day Pegula was introduced as owner, the Sabres were 27-25-6 and sat in ninth place in the Eastern Conference—five points out of a playoff spot. Pegula’s purchase not only reenergized the fan base, but the players as well. With Pegula now at the helm, the Sabres went on a 16-4-4 run over the final 24 games of the season to finish seventh in the East. This included a 9-1-2 record at home, with every remaining home game selling out. The momentum of the new era would stretch well into the offseason as the home of the Sabres—renamed First Niagara Center

NITTANY LION HOCKEY HISTORY

in August 2011—began a multi-million dollar facelift. The renovations, which were completed in time for the 2011-12 season, included a new, state-of-the-art locker room with updated training and rehabilitation areas, player lounge and coaching offices. Along with the locker room transformation, First Niagara Center underwent several other upgrades with a focus on providing a first-rate environment for players and fans quickly earned Buffalo the label of ‘Hockey Heaven.’ In 2012, Pegula looked to make an even bigger impact on the City of Buffalo, using hockey as a catalyst. On Aug. 29, it was announced that the city had selected Pegula and his development team to develop and construct HARBORcenter, a $172 million multipurpose facility that sits directly across from First Niagara Center in the city’s Canalside District. HARBORcenter is anchored by two new NHLsize ice rinks that are open for community use and a 200-room, full-service Marriott hotel. In addition to the ice rinks and hotel, there’s an upscale, hockey-themed sports bar and restaurant, additional retail space and a parking structure. HARBORcenter is now home to Canisius College hockey and helped host multiple international tournaments including the 2015 IIHF U-18 Women’s Championship. It is expected to draw more than 500,000 people to downtown Buffalo annually and, coupled with First Niagara Center, will provide a premier destination for hockey fans, right in the heart of ‘Hockey Heaven.’

BUFFALO BILLS

On Oct. 11, 2014, exactly a year after Pegula Ice Arena debuts, the Pegulas purchased the NFL’s Buffalo Bills for $1.4 billion, saving the franchise from relocating.

UNIVERSITY AND MEDIA INFORMATION

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY OLD MAIN

the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land-grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned landgrant universities in other states.

@PennStateMHKY

THE MISSION Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, more than 70 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents. Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $17 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $534 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $91 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania. Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide

educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually.

THE BEGINNING The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus.

By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905.

THE 20TH CENTURY In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning

Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell;

through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 students by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s statewide system of campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day.

POST-WORLD WAR II Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970.

TODAY The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law: Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus. To date, Penn State has awarded more than 840,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 348,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

NITTANY LION LEGEND Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe” Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the first college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. The tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain.

LION SHRINE Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on Oct. 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. The shrine was chosen from six models submitted by

THE LION SHRINE Warneke. The shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. The site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings.

BLUE & WHITE Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identified by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s official colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. The students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. The official announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees.

P

Barron has nearly 40 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. In recognition of his expertise and leadership in higher education, he was named chairman of the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE) for the Association of Public Landgrant Universities (APLU) in fall 2017. He also serves on the Board of Directors for APLU, and Kish Bancorp, Inc.; the Board of Trustees for University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR), and Universities Research Association (URA); and he is a member of the Knight Commission and the College Football Playoff Board of Managers. As leader of Penn State, Barron oversees a research enterprise of more than $920 million and 24 campus locations. His responsibilities include oversight of two law schools, the internationally recognized online educational enterprise known as the Penn State World Campus, and a nearly $2 billion health enterprise, including the Penn State College of Medicine, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the Penn State Health network, which extends throughout Central Pennsylvania. Penn State’s current enrollment is approximately 99,000 students, and the University boasts the world’s largest dues-paying alumni association in the world.

During his tenure as president of Penn State, Barron has prioritized access and affordability; diversity and inclusion; student engagement; economic development; job creation and student career success; and technology. He is focused on helping Penn State fulfill its land-grant mission as a modern university, and supports “One Penn State 2025,” an initiative to reimagine student learning and support services across all campuses to boost student success, engagement with the University, and the efficient use of its resources. Under Barron’s leadership, Penn State has achieved record-setting results in the University’s fundraising campaign, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence. Penn State has now raised more than $1 billion of the $1.6 billion goal. That puts the University among only 11 institutions in the U.S. to have raised $1 billion or more in three or more campaigns – including Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, and Big Ten peers Illinois and Michigan. Barron’s Invent Penn State initiative supports investment in entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, Invent Penn State has partnered with the University’s campuses across the Commonwealth to open 21 innovation hubs available to the surrounding communities. These hubs have aided nearly 2,000 entrepreneurs; engaged more than 5,000 faculty, staff and students with 170 new product development projects; created more than 45 new companies in Pennsylvania with more than 424 new jobs and internships; generated nearly $800,000 in in-kind support; and brought in more than $4.5 million in external matched/leveraged funds.

Barron earned a bachelor of science degree in geology at Florida State in 1973 before moving on to the University of Miami, where he earned master’s and doctoral degrees in oceanography. At Penn State, Dr. Barron served as dean of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences from 2002-06, and as founding director of the Earth System Science Center, one of the first major initiatives focused on the total study of Earth as a system. He also had a simultaneous appointment as director of the Earth and Mineral Sciences Environment Institute. In 1999, he was named Distinguished Professor of Geosciences at Penn State. An accomplished scientist with a long background in atmospheric research, Barron served as director of the National Center for Atmospheric Research and as dean of the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin. Early in his career he was a postdoctoral research fellow and scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Co.
