Tonight marks the first game of Penn State's new D1 Mens hockey team (well, first D1 varsity game since the 1940s). Appears broadcasting on the Penn State Sports Network and gopsusports.com (I assume as subscription required? Guess we'll find out tonight). BTN to televise two games later in the season.

From the Notes:
• It will also mark the first varsity men’s
hockey game since March 3, 1947.
On that day, the Nittany Lions fell to
Georgetown, 11-4.
• Penn State fielded a varsity hockey
team for five seasons in the 1940s
(1940-44, 1946-47) before the sport
was dropped due to limited facilities.
