FEBRUARY.2017 // MINNESOTAHOCKEYJOURNAL.COM 15 "On my visit they took us through a virtual tour of the rink so that was pretty nice to see what the rink was going to look like," Bowman said. "It was kind of cool to come to a program that is new and have a chance to build something from what was nothing a couple of years ago." If she ever takes it for granted, Bowman thinks back to her freshman year when the Nittany Lions moved from the old Greenberg Ice Pavilion into Pegula for the very first time. "Whenever I am kind of feeling down or feeling like I don't appreciate this place I think about the first two weeks when we were in Greenberg," she said. "And walking from Greenberg to Pegula and walking into the locker room and see- ing the older girls crying walking into the locker room and seeing everything that they were given. It is really just amazing how well we are treated by this program."
