THE GIFT OF TERRY & KIM PEGULA
The facility was brought to fruition by an initial $88 million donation—the largest in University history—from Terry and Kim Pegula, who, through their gift, helped Penn State realize its goal of Division I hockey. At the ceremonial groundbreaking on April 20, 2012, the Pegulas added $14 million to the project to lift their total donation to $102 million. Pegula Ice Arena is located at 250 University Drive near Curtin Road across from the Bryce Jordan Center.

In a season unlike any other in 2020-21, Gadowsky led Penn State back to the Big Ten semifinals for the sixth consecutive season and the seventh time overall as he became the winningest coach in the history of the tournament after securing his 11th victory in B1G tournament play. The Bench Boss registered his 150th career victory at Penn State in his 300th game as Nittany Lion head coach on January 9, 2021 at Ohio State.
Enters his 22nd season as an NCAA Division I Head Coach Overall Record: 328-330-60 (.498) Penn State Record: 155-132-23 (.540) Back-to-Back NCAA Tournament Appearances in 2017 and 2018 2017 Big Ten Tournament Champion | 2019-20 Big Ten Regular Season Champion 2014-15 Big Ten Coach of the Year Developed Penn State’s first NHL player, Casey Bailey (Toronto Maple Leafs) Inducted into the Alaska Nanook Hall of Fame in September 2014 2007-08 ECAC Hockey Coach of the Year (Princeton) 2001-02 CCHA Coach of the Year (Alaska Fairbanks)
Penn State captain Alex Limoges went on to sign an AHL contract with the San Diego Gulls and in just 23 games scored 11 goals while adding 10 assists for 21 points. Following the season Aarne Talvitie inked his entry-level, NHL contract with the New Jersey Devils while earlier in the season former Nittany Lion Peyton Jones also put pen to paper on an NHL contract giving Penn State six NHL signees in the past two seasons and 10 overall. Near the conclusion of the 2020-21 NHL season former Penn State forward Brett Murray (2017-18) made his NHL debut with the Buffalo Sabres becoming the second Nittany Lions to skate in an NHL contest. Gadowsky led Penn State to its first-ever Big Ten regular-season championship during the 2019-20 season with a single-season program record 12 conference victories and 41 points. The Penn State bench boss was named a finalist for the Big Ten Coach of the Year award while leading the Nittany Lions to the Big Ten Tournament semifinals for the sixth time in the seven-year history of the conference. Penn State earned a first-round bye straight to the semifinals. Gadowsky secured his seventh career 20win season and his fourth in the past five years at Penn State in 2019-20 becoming one of just two Big Ten programs to have four 20-win seasons over the past five years. He also had the Nittany Lions in line for their third NCAA Tournament appearance before the postseason was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic with Penn State finishing the season No. 7 in the final PairWise rankings marking the highest finish in program history. Gadowsky registered his 300th career victory in October against Sacred Heart. In 2019-20 he coached Penn State’s first-ever CCM/AHCA All-Americans as both Cole Hults and Nate Sucese landed
on the Second-Team West while also being named First-Team All-Big Ten. Hults earned Penn State’s first-ever Big Ten Player of the Year honors while also garnering Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year while Sucese took over as the program’s all-time leader in goals (61) and points (140) during the 2019-20 season. At the conclusion of the season the Nittany Lions saw four players sign NHL entry-level contracts while three others signed AHL deals. In 2018-19, Gadowsky led Penn State to its second-highest win total in program history with 22, and became the winningest coach in Big Ten Tournament history, compiling a 10-6 record over six seasons. The Nittany Lions returned to the Big Ten Championship game for the second time in the past three seasons, but dropped a tough 3-2 decision at Notre Dame. Penn State secured its most Big Ten wins in program history with 11 while its 35 points were also the most in a single season. The Nittany Lions once again led the nation in goals per game with a new single-season record of 4.54 while also setting single-season records for goals (177), assists (301) and points (478), each of which were also tops in the nation. Gadowsky saw sophomore Alex Limoges become the first Nittany Lion ever to lead the nation in points as he set a single-season program record with 50 while his 23 goals were also a new program standard and ranked tied for second in the nation. Sophomore Evan Barratt became just the fourth player in program history and third in the last three seasons to earn first-team All-Big Ten honors. Barratt, along with teammate Aarne Talvitie, also became the first Nittany Lions ever to represent their countries at the IIHF World Junior Championship. Talvitie captained Finland to the gold medal while Barratt helped Team USA take home the silver.

Despite the win total and records the Nittany Lions fell one spot short of the NCAA Tournament, finishing the season at No. 16 in the PairWise rankings. Gadowsky led his Nittany Lions to their second-straight NCAA Tournament in 201718. Penn State was able to take the short drive down to Allentown, Pennsylvania, as it served as host for the Midwest Regional. The Nittany Lions’ season was cut short at the hands of the Denver Pioneers, 5-1, in the NCAA Midwest Regional semifinal. Earlier in the 2017-18 season, Gadowsky secured his 100th career victory at Penn State, also the 100th victory for the program, a 5-1 win over Minnesota on February 23, 2018. That victory was the start of the Nittany Lions first-ever sweep of the Golden Gophers, which secured home ice for Penn State in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals. Penn State went on to sweep Minnesota in two games, clinching the series and its fourth B1G Semifinal appearance in five years. Junior Andrew Sturtz became just the second member of the 100-point club at Penn

Of Gadowsky’s 24 players on the 2015-16 roster, eight signed professional contracts in the off-season ranging from the ECHL, AHL, NHL and Europe. His 2014-15 Nittany Lions exceeded expectations all season, with a winning record in overall action (18-15-4) and Big Ten play (10-9-1-0), while earning the program’s first national ranking. Despite being picked sixth in the preseason, Gadowsky’s team was in the hunt for a Big Ten title until the final weekend of the season. Under Gadowsky’s tutelage, junior Casey Bailey led the Big Ten in scoring and parlayed his outstanding season into a twoyear contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bailey was an All-Big Ten first-team honoree, while six other Nittany Lions earned honorable-mention recognition from the league coaches. The 2014-15 season also saw Gadowsky reach the 200-win plateau in historic fashion when his Lions knocked off No. 4 UMass Lowell, 4-1 on Nov. 15, 2014. The program’s rise from its first year in the Big Ten to its sophomore campaign saw gains of 10 wins overall and seven wins in conference play. Penn State earned wins over every Big Ten team in 2014-15 including a season sweep of perennial power Wisconsin and a first win over Big Ten champion Minnesota on THON Night. During the 2013-14 campaign, the bench boss guided the Nittany Lions in its first season of Big Ten Conference play. Penn State faced seven NCAA tournament

NITTANY LION HOCKEY HISTORY
2021-22 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

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY
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.
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. 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;
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

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.

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.
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.
