June 14, 1993 Peterson to Retire As U of M Sid January 1St UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JEW§ Bierman Field Athletic Building 516 15th Avenue Southeast Minneapolis, MN 55455 (612) 625-4090 Fax 625-0359 JUNE 14, 1993 PETERSON TO RETIRE AS U OF M SID JANUARY 1ST Bob Peterson, sports information director for men's athletics at the University of Minnesota for the past 18 years, will retire January 1, 1994. He will continue to oversee football operations for the sports information office until his retirement. Marc Ryan, the number one assistant under Peterson since 1989, will serve as interim director while a search is conducted by the men's department and an appointment made January 1, 1994. "Bob has been an integral part of this department for nearly two decades," said Men's Director of Athletics Dr. McKinley Boston. "His many contributions during challenging times for this department have been significant and much appreciated. Bob is a real professional and will be missed." Peterson, 62, came to the University of Minnesota in 1975 after 10 years as the sports information director at St. Cloud State University. Prior to that, he taught English and Journalism for nine years at the high school level and also was a sports writer and sports editor. During his 28 years in the sports information profession, Peterson has received more than 20 citations for excellence in the field of publications from the College Sports Information Directors of America. A past president of CoS IDA, he was elected to that organization's Hall of Fame in 1983. While a high school teacher, Peterson received two Newspaper Fund Fellowships from the Wall Street Journal for excellence in teaching. He also won three Minnesota Newspaper Association awards when in that field in Greater Minnesota. Peterson attended Hamline University, received his B.S. degree from St. Cloud State University and his M.S. degree from the University of North Dakota. He also did post graduate work at Syracuse University under his Newspaper Fund Fellowship. He has been an active member of CoSIDA, the Football Writers of America and the Basketball Writers of America. Peterson also has been involved with the U.S. Olympic Committee as a press liaison officer during several Summer Olympic Festivals and the Pan American Games. Peterson is only the third full-time men's sports information director in University of Minnesota history. Les Etter became the first in 1930. Otis Dypwick assumed those duties in 1944 and held that position until Peterson joined the staff in 1975. Ryan came to Minnesota in '89 after two years on the staff at Villanova. Prior to that, he served as sports information director at Macalester College for two years. In addition, he worked as a press liaison at the 1987, 1990 and 1991 U.S. Olympic Festivals, the 1990 Goodwill Games, and the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. He is a 1984 graduate of Moorhead State University where he was a two-time All-American in track.

Even during the war years, as well as through the Great Depres sion, each fall Horned Frog football squads have done bat tle on the gridiron each fall. 4BEGINNINGS The newfangled game of foot ball, created in the East, made a quiet and un of­fcial ap pear ance on the TCU campus (AddRan College as it was then known and lo­ cat ed in Waco, Tex as, or nearby Thorp Spring) in the fall of 1896. It was then that sev er al of the col lege’s more ro bust stu dents, along with the en thu si as tic sup port of a cou ple of young “profs,” Addison Clark, Jr., and A.C.

The first con test was an 8­6 vic to ry over Toby’s Busi ness College of Waco and the other two games were with the Houston Heavy weights, a town team. By 1897 the new sport had progressed and AddRan enlisted its first coach, Joe J. Field, to direct the team. Field’s ballclub won three games that autumn, including a first victory over Texas A&M.

  • Gophers to Host Big Ten Golf Meet
    Gophers To Host Big Ten Golf Meet Coach Greg Harvey's University of Minnesota golf team will serve as host for the 1981 Big Ten golf championships at the U of M Golf Course on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 15-17. Teams will enter six golfers and then count their five best scores for a team total. Par is 71 on Minnesota's 6,123 yard course. One round is set for Friday, two on Saturday and the concluding 18 holes on Sunday. Harvey hopes his Gophers will find their home course to their liking, and he'll be counting heavily on his two upperclassmen, Tom Lehman and Bill Folkes, to lead the way. A senior from Alexandria, Lehman ranks as Minnesota's top All-America candidate this season. He concluded the 1980 cam­ paign with a top-20 finish in the NCAA meet, and over the summer he won the U.S. Amateur Championship. He has twice been an All­ Big Ten choice and has captured top honors in eight major tourneys. Folkes also ranks as a solid performer who will be shooting for top honors in the Big Ten meet. A senior from Coon Rapids, he played well last summer and had a good fall tour in 1980. Other Minnesota golfers figuring in Harvey's plans are Steve Oftelie from Waconia, Kirk Snider from Hastings and Jay Swan­ son from Minneapolis. All are juniors and were impressive last fall. Harvey entered the 1981 season with optimism. "Overall this should be our best season in quite some time," he said.

  • Ice Hockey DIVISION I
    72 DIVISION I Ice Hockey DIVISION I 2002 Championship Highlights Gophers Golden in Overtime: Perhaps it was a slight tweak in tradition that propelled Minnesota to the championship April 6 in St. Paul, Minnesota. Not since 1987 had a non-Minnesotan laced up the skates for the Gophers. The streak ended with Grant Potulny, a native of Grand Forks, North Dakota. Potulny scooped up a loose puck and beat Maine goaltender Matt Yeats, 16:58 into overtime, to bring the Gophers their first championship since 1979. When the puck hit the back of the net, the majority of the 19,324 on hand – a Frozen Four record – erupted. The three-session combined attendance at the Xcel Energy Center also set a Frozen Four record, totaling 57,957, to break the mark set at the 1998 championship in Boston’s Fleet Center (54,355). For the complete championship story go to the April 15, 2002 issue of The NCAA News at Photo by Vince Muzik/NCAA Photos www.ncaa.org on the World Wide Web.

  • Since Blazing Into a New Era with the Opening of the Colorado Springs
    Since blazing into a new era with the opening of the Colorado Springs World Arena in January 1998, Tiger Hockey has continued to solidify its position among the nation’s most elite Division I programs. With six league titles, 16 home-ice playoff berths and a dozen NCAA tournament bids tucked away since 1994, Colorado College keeps adding chapter after chapter to its fabled history. CC’s recent string of success, which includes last season’s appearance in the national quarterfinals preceded by trips to the “Frozen Four” in 1996, 1997 and 2005, speaks volumes for the modern-day version of a program that has spanned eight decades. Sure, when Scott Owens took over as head coach in 1999, he inherited a perennial powerhouse. But where does the tale really begin? How has little Colorado College, a private liberal arts and sciences college with an enrollment of less than 2,000 students, maintained such elite status in a sport filled with Division I giants? TWO CONCEPTS COME TO MIND: Tradition. From its pre-World War II roots, to its hosting of the first 10 NCAA Tournaments and co-founding of the WCHA, the school has influenced college hockey's growth from infancy. Commitment. Proving that academic and athletic excellence can co-exist in a small campus environment, CC has relied on vision, hard work and creativity to revive a program that many others nationwide now envy. THE EARLY YEARS Colorado College Hockey got its start in January of 1938, when the Broadmoor Hotel converted its seldom-used indoor riding academy into an ice rink.
