Just read an article about the hotbed of college hockey talent that is western PA. That, plus Penn State's move, would seem to beg the question: What about college hockey for PITT? Is there a drumbeat for it among alumni & current administration? The FF will be at the Consol next year.

Re: Pitt: Any thoughts on hockey?
Given the pending move to ACC, I would think the school unlikely to upgrade hockey from club to varsity in the next 3-5 years. Beyond that, the growth of hockey - spurred by Penguins enthusiasm - makes it a good long term choice.
Money left on the table if they don't ...

Side note: let's not pretend that Mercyhurst or Robert Morris are anything but a negligible blip on the radar in the western PA sports landscape. What do they even get for average home attendance?If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me
BRING BACK PAT RICHTER!!!
At his graduation ceremony from the U of Minnesota, my cousin got a keychain. When asked what UW gave her for graduation, my sister said, "A degree from a University that matters."
Canned music is a pathetic waste of your time.

Re: Pitt: Any thoughts on hockey?
Lets get real here Pitt having a program is more likely to drum up interest over any local school in the western part of Penn.Slap Shot - 444 might want to consider a restraining order.
dggoddard - Minnesota is THE ELITE Program in all of college hockey.

Re: Pitt: Any thoughts on hockey?
Penn State has discussed it on and off for at least a decade, probably longer I would guess. Not so Pitt. I don't think it is even in the cards. Just having "interest" in the neighborhood doesn't justify putting together a program, nor does it guarentee any level of success.
