Pens Collegians

I figure celebrating a Stanley Cup is a good enough excuse to write my first Fan Post right? Seeing as I am both a Penguins fan and a writer of a blog about college hockey (shameless plug alert) I decided to comb through the Pens roster and find all the current Penguins who played college hockey.

My initial thoughts: There are some serious academic titans on this list (Harvard, Dartmouth, Notre Dame), but what jumped out at me even more is that you might as well call this team the Boston College Penguins. John Curry must feel really out of place.

Player (School, Conference)

Craig Adams (Harvard, ECAC Hockey)

John Curry (Boston University, Hockey East)

Mark Eaton (Notre Dame, CCHA)

Alex Goligoski (Minnesota, WCHA)

Bill Guerin (Boston College, Hockey East)

Chris Kunitz (Ferris State, CCHA)

Ben Lovejoy (Boston College, Hockey East and Dartmouth, ECAC Hockey)

Brooks Orpik (Boston College, Hockey East)

Rob Scuderi (Boston College, Hockey East)

Jeff Taffe (Minnesota, WCHA)

Brad Thiessen (Northeastern, Hockey East)

And, as if I need to mention this, congrats to the former collegians on the Pens and to the organization as a whole.
