OK - maybe not quite yet, but you can certainly plan your ticket purchases for the 2011-12 Penn State hockey season.
Some dates on the schedule are still tentative, but there are some interesting matchups and road trips.
First of all, the 9pm Friday games at the Greenberg are history, replaced by 7pm starts that will be the norm for the varsity schedule beginning in 2012-13.
The opening month will be a tough test for the team. After opening at home against Washington & Jefferson, the Icers hit the road to take on Illinois at the Big Pond before hosting Ohio and then heading out on another Rhode trip (pardon the pun).
November begins with games against a pair of NCAA Div. III teams (Neumann and SUNY-Fredonia) and a rare Sunday home game against Pitt, followed by home and home series with West Chester and Delaware. December includes a visit by Rutgers and a road trip to Liberty U. in Lynchburg, VA, followed by the traditional visit by Niagara.
The month of January will be an eye-opener, beginning with four games in four days against Oklahoma and Central Oklahoma. Returning from the heartland, the Icers will host Rhode Island and West Virginia before heading to the Bird Arena in Athens, Ohio.
Oklahoma comes the Hockey Valley to kick off February before Mercyhurst visits. The Icers wrap up the regular season with a home and home series against Lebanon Valley.
WHEW - I think that it's safe to say that the Icers will be battle tested before the National Tournament in Cleveland.
