Penn State Men’s Hockey’s Ben Copeland Inks Deal With AHL’s Cleveland Monsters

Copeland posted seven goals, 17 assists, and 24 points as a Nittany Lion. He was very efficient last season, finishing with the second-most assists and fourth-most points among his teammates.

The Monsters are the top affiliate of the NHL’s Columbus Blue Jackets. Copeland’s contract lasts through the remainder of the 2022-23 season.
