The Penn State athletics department held an unveiling ceremony at Beaver Stadium yesterday to show off the brand new hockey uniforms that both the men's and women's team will be wearing this coming season. The new jerseys mark a new era in Penn State hockey, as the program is officially making the move from a club to a Division 1 team.

These statistics are good enough to put Robinson at the top when it comes to Big Ten receivers. Robinson has certainly evolved from the three star recruit who only received scholarship offers from Buffalo, Minnesota, and Toledo in addition to the Nittany Lions.
