It couldn't have been scripted any better.

During the final home game of his career, Kevin Jaeger recorded two goals to break the Penn State ACHA Division I Icers' "unbreakable" all-time scoring record.

And the kicker of it all: not only did Jaeger's accomplishment fall on Senior Night, but his 130th goal also proved to be the eventual game winner.

"It's something that I'll always be remembered by," Jaeger said.

"There was no better way to take care of it than here on the last weekend at home."

Coming into the weekend, Jaeger needed four goals to tie Lynn Sipe (129 goals). Last Tuesday, Jaeger said he'd put "a big nick into the record" over the weekend.

And he proved to be a man of his word -- he recorded his third hat trick of the season on Friday and added a pair of goals on Saturday.

Jaeger seemed relieved, and even coach Joe Battista seemed a bit beside himself.

"I was a high school teammate of Lynn Sipe, and I never thought that record was going to be broken," Battista said. "That's something for a guy his size; he's all heart."

Jaeger's size may have actually been one of the precipitating factors for his decision to attend Penn State. According to Battista, Jaeger's 5-foot-8, 170-pound frame made the NCAA schools a little nervous.

"His size scared away all the Division I varsity teams," Battista said.

"They made a mistake."

Battista described Jaeger as an unselfish player, and the Icers' new all-time leading scorer may have showcased his character best on the record-setting goal.

With the score knotted at 2-2, Mike Carrano appeared to have scored the backdoor goal early in the third period.

It was initially credited to Carrano, but the senior forward went over to the bench and said he knew it wasn't his.

"I knew it got tipped in front where we were celebrating," he said. "I'm pretty sure it was going wide. I was like, 'Yo, who tipped it?' "

Jaeger and freshman Keith Jordan were the only Icers in front of the net, and Jordan said the puck didn't touch his stick.

Finally, Jaeger spoke up.

"It was me," he acknowledged.

"I knew I tipped it, but I guess I was just expecting a big dramatic goal and I didn't wanna be up in everybody's face, saying 'That was my goal, that was my goal!' "

The announcer didn't receive the adjustment until two minutes later, close to the 15-minute mark. But when he did announce Jaeger's feat, the crowd rose to its feet in a standing ovation.

Of course, Jaeger relished the sign of appreciation from the crowd.

And the night before, he even made his own sign for the fans -- in poster form.

Jaeger skated out during the first intermission and held up a sign that read, "I Love Section E."

Section E, the student section, erupted in applause -- but Jaeger still refused to take credit for the idea.

"It was actually my parents' idea," he said. "Probably a few weeks after the season, I'll know what it's all about, and how much I'll miss having them root for me.

"And if there was more that I could do for them, I would. They just made it a great experience here."

And for one of the most exciting hockey players in Penn State history, it's certain the opposite also holds true -- fans will never forget Jaeger, or his goal-scoring legacy.
