In a move that has sports scientists seriously questioning their life choices, Penn State announced yesterday that top NHL prospect Gavin McKenna is set to kick off his debut season with the Nittany Lions—an event so thrilling it has already been declared a “biohazard” by local adrenaline regulators. Campus officials have reportedly begun the delicate process of installing extra sirens around Pegula Ice Arena, warning that spontaneous cheers could shatter nearby car windows.
McKenna, whom gossip blogs describe as the love child of a lightning bolt and a blender on high speed, steps onto the ice with a résumé that includes breaking pucks, hearts, and occasionally the space-time continuum. Rumor has it his first slapshot will register on the Richter scale, potentially registering as the next minor earthquake in a distant state.
Meanwhile, students are pre-scheduling their heart surgeries and lining up pizza deliveries to maintain peak energy levels for what promises to be a season-long rollercoaster of jaw-dropping goals and “Did you just see that?” moments. Local coffee shops have already sold out of quadruple espressos in anticipation. So sharpen your skates, Nittany Nation—McKenna’s arrival means every game from here on out will require hazard pay.
