Happy Holidays from the Ice Lions
December 17th, 2011
The Penn State Ice Lions ended their fall semester on a 12-game winning streak and in a great position to make nationals for the first time since 2007. We are very thankful for the parents, staff and fans that have helped us get to where we are and wanted to wish all of you the happiest of holidays.
While we will certainly be enjoying this "down time" with family and friends over the break, we will still be focused and ready to go early in the spring semester as we take on Pitt at the Ice Pavilion on January 7th.
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
