PSU hockey team will play at arena

The Penn State Nittany Lion hockey team will make history on Saturday, Oct. 13 by playing its first weekend at the intercollegiate level against American International at Wilkes-Barre's Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza. The puck drops at 7:05p.m. in what is expected to be a sea of blue and white.

In 2012-13, the Nittany Lions will compete as an independent and play 23 games against NCAA Division I opponents from all five conferences – Atlantic Hockey, CCHA, ECAC Hockey, Hockey East, and WCHA – and fellow independent Alabama Huntsville.

Penn State will also face off against three NCAA Division III foes, while playing eight exhibition games.

The Penn State Wilkes-Barre Alumni Constituent Society is currently taking game ticket reservations. Tickets are available for $10 each. The deadline to reserve tickets is Sept. 21.
