For the first time, Historisch West Shore Home Field will be the home of Penn State Hockey at Beaver Stadium in January.
The Hockey Valley Doublehead, with the men’s and women’s hockey teams in conference -matchups, takes place on January 31, 2026.
“This is a historic moment for Penn State Hockey, our fans and the entire Penn State community,” said Penn State VP for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Patrick Kraft in a statement. “It is really special to bring the excitement from College-Hockey to Beaver Stadium. If we have a Premier Big to opponent in Michigan State and our women’s program is confronted with Robert Morris on this stage reflects the incredible growth and national profile of Penn State Hockey and offers an unforgettable experience.
The Hen’s Hockey team of Penn State comes from a second half last season that ended the year on a 15-5-4 run that culminated in his very first frozen four berth after a regional championship in Allentown. The Nittany Lions return 75% of his total attack and 83% of his target scores, including each of his top six goals from his 2024-25 selection, while adding seven skaters that combined for 563 points on 201 goals and 362 assists in 435 games in 435 matches last season.
“Our team and so many Penn -Staters are extremely enthusiastic about this game in Beaver Stadium,” said Nittany Lions Hen’s Hockey head coach Guy Gadowsky. “I have been consistently asked since I arrived in Penn State, and thanks to coach Franklin I want to send for sharing his house with us, as well as Dr. Pat Kraft, Vinnie James and the entire Penn State Athletics department to let it happen. We can’t wait to take the field.”
The Women’s Hockey team also comes from an incredible 2024-25 campaign in which the Nittany Lions has set a program review with 31 wins, including an AHA Record 19 Conference victories on the way to their third consecutive competition championship and NCAA Tournament-Opentig.
“We want to thank Dr. Kraft for continuing to expand the goal posts, or in this case eliminate them, so that we can play an offside at Beaver Stadium,” said Jeff Kampersal, head coach of Penn State, Hockey -Head Coach. “This chance is important and historically for Penn State hockey. Given all the legendary moments that the men have created in black shoes and basic blues on this turf, we look forward to making some of our own and making Penn State proud. Thank you, Pat.”
