The '''2011 NCAA ice hockey conference realignment''' is an ongoing series of conference affiliation changes amongst many schools that participate in division I college hockey. Many of the official and rumored changes involved many of the sport's highest profile teams. The realignment was precipitated by Penn State's announcement that it was adding men's and women's hockey as varsity programs. Several months later, having cleared the six team hurdle the conference required to sponsor a sport, the [[Big Ten]] announced it would start awarding a championship in men's ice hockey, and that regular season play would begin for the 2013–14 season. Spurred on by the Big Ten's decision, several other teams have also started exploring realignment. |

On September 17, 2010, Penn State announced that [[Terrence Pegula|Terry Pegula]] would be making an $88 million dollar gift to the school in order to start a men's and women's varsity hockey programs, and to build an arena for those teams to play in.<ref name=penn_state_sept17>{{cite web|last=USCHO Staff Report|title=Penn State Makes it Official: Varsity Programs on the Way|url=http://www.uscho.com/2010/09/17/penn-state-makes-it-official-varsity-programs-on-the-way/|work=USCHO.com|publisher=U.S. College Hockey Online|accessdate=8 July 2011|date=17 September 2010}}</ref> This exacerbated the long standing rumor that the Big Ten would begin sponsoring men's ice hockey. In the past, the rumor had come and gone, but would always die out because, for a long time, the Big Ten only had five schools sponsoring hockey, and the conference required six teams to participate in order to sponsor a championship.<ref name=penn_state_sept17 /> |

After immigrating to the U.S. in 1869, Horlick settled in Racine. In 1872, he moved to Chicago to begin a food manufacturing business with his brother, James. This was the genesis of the [[Horlicks|Horlick Food Company]], which the two founded in 1875, and moved to Racine in 1876. At around the same time, William began working on creating a dried milk product. This work culminated with a U.S. patent in 1883 and a product that was originally called "Diastoid," but was later trademarked as "malted milk" in 1887.<ref name="bday" /><ref name="whsd" /><ref name="hmaus" /><ref name="whsexb"> |

The company continued to expand, with new branches opening in New York City in 1889 and in England in 1890. New manufacturing plants were also opened in Racine in 1902 and 1905.

He emigrated to the U.S. in 1869, settling in Racine, Wisconsin, where he started a food company with his brother, James. Horlick was a well-known philanthropist in the Racine area. He was also a major sponsor of the Racine Legion, who played in the National Football League from 1922 until 1924. He died 25 September 1936 at the age of ninety.[2][3][4]
Biography
Malted milk
After immigrating to the U.S. in 1869, Horlick settled in Racine. In 1872, he moved to Chicago to begin a food manufacturing business with his brother, James. This was the genesis of the Horlick Food Company, which the two founded in 1875, and moved to Racine in 1876. At around the same time, William began working on creating a dried milk product. This work culminated with a U.S. patent in 1883 and a product that was originally called "Diastoid," but was later trademarked as "malted milk" in 1887.[1][2][4][6]
The company continued to expand, with new branches opening in New York City in 1889 and in England in 1890. New manufacturing plants were also opened in Racine in 1902 and 1905. William served as the company's treasurer until his brother's death in 1921, at which time he became company president, holding that position until his death in 1936.[2]
Philanthropy
Horlick was a prominent philanthropist, especially in the Racine area. Gifts in Racine include Memorial Hall, a maternity wing at St. Luke’s Hospital (in memory of his daughter Alice), Island Park, and Horlick Athletic Field, and the land for the high school named in his honour (William Horlick High School).[2][4]
Horlick also supported several polar expeditions, including one to the Antarctic by Richard Byrd and another to the North Pole by Roald Amundsen. Horlick not only supported the expeditions financially, but his malted milk product also provided a non-perishable source of nutrition to the explorers. Because of his contributions, Byrd named the Horlick Mountains in Antarctica after William Horlick.[4][6]
