Ice hockey has been around for a long time; however, to many, it is still a mystery. This course will cover the basic rules of hockey (offsides, icing, penalties, etc.) along with a description of the different positions, the playing surface, and the equipment used by the players.

Instructor: Rodney Martin is the public address announcer for Penn State men’s and women’s hockey. He has been involved with Penn State hockey ever since he arrived on campus as a student in 1996. Before the transition to Division 1, he was a member of the Hockey Management Association, which was responsible for game presentation and operations. He served as team statistician, penalty box coordinator, and gameday operations coordinator during that time.
