THREE RIVERS CLASSIC

Penn State Nittany Lions vs. Robert Morris University Colonials
Post-game Reception: TBA
There will be a hockey night in Pittsburgh after all. With the NHL operating under lockout conditions, Penn State fills the void with its participation in the Three Rivers Classic that is slated for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 28 and 29, at the Consol Energy Center, home of the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The Nittany Lions, in their inaugural season, open the tournament at 4:30 p.m., Friday, Dec. 28, against Robert Morris University. Ohio State University faces the University of Miami at 7:30 p.m. in the second game. The two winners meet in the championship game at 7:30 p.m. the next night. The consolation game is set for 4:30 p.m.
Penn State receptions are being planned for each day of the tournament. A post-game "Meet the Lions" event is set for the Penn State game on Friday. Penn Staters will have the opportunity to meet head coach Guy Gadowsky and his players. On Saturday, an alumni reception is in the planning stages. Additional details will be available at a later date.
Tournament tickets range from $25-$55 for the two-day packages and $12.50-$35 for single games. Sections 113-117 have been set aside as reserved seating for Penn State alumni and friends.
