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.
