UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.- There is a certain buzz throughout Pegula Ice Arena leading up to the first home game of the season for the Nittany Lions. Players and coaches seem to be working with extra intensity, looking forward to playing in front of the home crowd.
New head coach Jeff Kampersal started his media session Wednesday complementing Penn State's culture and the beautiful ice arena.
"I love the pride the Penn State community has. Pegula seems like it is a really special place," he said heading into the team's home opening weekend series vs. Union. "It will be even more special once I can make my own memories with this team, hopefully starting this weekend.
