I've been out of the loop this summer, so help me out:
What was the biggest sports story of the summer for PC?
-Kevin Watson '07
Obviously, the renovation of Schneider Arena was the most important story of the summer for the Providence College Athletic Department. I think the new black and white seats in Schneider are a sign of things to come for both the hockey program and the Athletic Department as a whole. Tim Army's first year as coach of the Friars was a very successful campaign. This year, with returning stars Tyler Simms, John Rheault, Cody Wild, Dinos Stamoulis, and Jamie Carroll, the Friars should be a dominant team in Hockey East.
The new seats will also give the fanatical Friars fans the opportunity to be proud of their home arena, instead of being embarassed when Boston College comes to town because the seats were actually their colors. I never understood why that was the case. Whose stadium or arena features the colors of their most bitter rival? Could you imagine having to watch a Mets game in Shea Stadium and the seats were the Yankees' colors? This was just an absurd concept that the school and athletic department had to address. All I can say is thanks to the donor who gave the school the money to do the right thing in Schneider. It goes without saying that the entire Providence College community appreciates the generosity. Here is to a great Hockey East season, and hopefully a trip to the NCAA Tournament!

The story of the summer wasn't exactly a positive one for PC. In a bizarre game of point guard roulette, the Friars Men's Basketball team dropped recruit Corey Lowe in favor of new recruit Brian Rudolph, then dropped Rudolph when he was arrested for allegedly stabbing someone in late April.
