I couldn't agree more that Dr. Shouldice was instrumental in laying the groundwork for the Lake State hockey program of today. He had a tremendous knack for raising money and gaining downstate support for a small school in the UP which many would have preferred to ignore. While Pullar Arena had a homey feel to it, with many fond memories, it was totally inadequate for a major hockey program. The Norris Center and many other advances on campus are a direct result of Dr. Shouldice's efforts. As one who interacted with him while he was on campus, I sincerely appreciate the posting of his passing and share the deep sense of loss that all LAKER alumni and fans must feel.
