It's nice to hear that OSU is finally starting to pay attention to its
 hockey program's needs. For those of you who've never experienced
 the OSU Ice Rink (Yes, that's the name...not "Arena", not "Complex,"
 not even named after a dead guy...the OSU Ice Rink), it's a cold, tiny
 place sitting right in the shadow of St. John Arena. It's soooo
 small... (How small is it?) that the refs literally have to dress in
 St.John and go next door for the game itself.
 
I have to give lots of credit to Jerry Welsh for displaying the patience
 of Job in his 18 years at OSU. He's a man of obvious talent, and could
 have, IMHO, done some good things at a different school that considered
 hockey a priority. He must either love the school, or is just now starting
 to play hardball.
