The ceremony will mark the second time to date that Campbell has been present at a Penn State men’s hockey game, with the first being a videoboard appearance during the team’s series against Minnesota. Saturday’s game against No. 2 Michigan State will notably be his first public showing since students returned from winter break.
The Nittany Lions’ highly anticipated battle with the Spartans will not only be a celebration of Penn State hockey, but it will also serve to usher in a new era of Penn State football.
Tickets to the event are selling fast, but folks interested in seeing Campbell take center ice can purchase tickets here.
