Anyone on campus who has visited the Spaulding Gymnasium can see the high-quality facilities Keene State College offers. A lot of work is put into running the gym smoothly and efficiently.
Sid the kid. The golden child. Sidney Crosby, the greatest hockey player in the world is the Pittsburgh Penguins’ star center. At 19 he was the only teenager to ever lead the NHL in scoring and became just the seventh player to win the Art Ross Trophy, Hart Memorial Trophy and Lester B. Pearson Award in the same season.

I have recently come to the conclusion that there aren’t enough sports in my life.
As a college student, I regularly watch four hours worth of SportsCenter every morning just to watch the top ten plays four times.
