Welcome Back... (Between the Pipes)

Well, it's that time of year again. They've sharpened up their skates, taped up their sticks and taken the ice for another season in the ACHA.

And as the Penn State ACHA Division I Icers return to the ice, we too return to Between the Pipes. We hope you've missed BTP almost as much as you've missed the hockey itself, although we know that is not only unlikely, but rather pathetic and irrational.

So anyways, on Monday night, the Penn State ACHA Division I Icers finalized their roster and coach Scott Balboni settled on 30 players that he thinks will give the team its best chance to win its first championship since the 2002-03 season.

As you may (or may not, for who knows what reason?) have read in the Collegian, all returning Icers that tried out for the team made the cut. So, despite the departure of 12 seniors from last year's team, there should still be plenty of familiar faces for those dedicated fans to look for this year.

As always, we hope to bring you plenty of content, both hockey and non-hockey related, about some of your favorite Icers and hopefully we can help you get to know the new guys and learn a little bit about the names you may not be so familiar with at this point.
