Buccigross is one of, if not the biggest fans of college hockey in the national media, and he frequently brings attention to the world of #CawlidgeHawkey through his Twitter feed.
His #BucciOvertimeChallenge hashtag game rewards his Twitter followers who correctly guess which hockey player scores an overtime goal with t-shirts, tickets to NHL games, and other hockey-centric prizes. The shirts and other merchandise are available for sale on his website, and all proceeds raised go towards hockey-related charities.
This wasn’t the first time the man they call “Bucci Mane” donned a Penn State sweater on ESPN. He even made an appearance at THON back in 2015 and annually voices his support for the event.
Since 1977, THON has raised over $157 million for Four Diamonds at Penn State Children’s Hospital. It’s an extraordinary event run by extraordinary students. pic.twitter.com/P7h4s8M0tW

With college hockey season around the corner, the preseason hype for Guy Gadowsky’s program has even reached Bristol, Connecticut. Buccigross ranked the Nittany Lions as the No. 4 team in the nation in his preseason #CawlidgeHawkey top 16 rankings. He’ll release those rankings weekly throughout the 2019-20 season.
Penn State will open its regular season with a two-game set against Sacred Heart on October 11-12 at Pegula Ice Arena.
