An amusing thing happened when sitting down to talk with Penn State redshirt junior defenseman Nate Jensen and junior forward Tommy Olczyk about the upcoming hockey season, as Minnesota announcer Frank Mazzocco joined for a bit.
In a way, Mazzocco coming over was fitting. Sitting inside the Xcel Energy Center, a location with a rich collegiate history, few have been around the college game longer than the long-time play-by-play hockey voice. Even he wanted to find out and learn about the Nittany Lions and what the team, entering just its second season playing Division I hockey, is all about.
