Philadelphia College Hockey Faceoff Tickets
The Philadelphia College Hockey Faceoff sees Penn State's Nittany Lions match up against some of NCAA D-I hockey's biggest talent annually. Early in the Faceoff's history, the Lions played against the University of Vermont Catamounts, an often nationally ranked team, three times. Today, the game is an established local tradition, with Penn State taking on Princeton. Princeton has one of the oldest and most historically celebrated hockey programs in the country. In fact, NCAA hockey's highest award, the Hobey Baker, is named after one of Princeton's most famous players. This series got its start in 2013, just a year after Penn State became a Division I NCAA program. Since then, the local rivalry between the Nittany Lions and the Princeton Tigers has only grown. This is a great way for the city of Philadelphia to see some of the hockey stars of tomorrow.
