Overview

• Penn State will stage its first on-campus hockey games with a men’s matchup against Michigan State and a women’s game versus Robert Morris in a Jan. 31 doubleheader.
• Beaver Stadium’s capacity of more than 106,000 raises the possibility of challenging outdoor-hockey attendance records cited at over 104,000.
• Penn State frames the showcase as a milestone for its fast-rising programs after the men’s first Frozen Four and a record-setting season for the women.
• Top prospect Gavin McKenna is expected to headline Penn State’s roster, while Michigan State brings blue-chip additions including Flyers prospect Porter Martone.
• Game times and ticket details have not been announced, and the NHL has signaled interest in a future Beaver Stadium event after renovations finish without making a commitment.
