With Army’s status as Penn State’s opponent this Friday at the Pegula Ice Arena opener in question due to the government shutdown, athletic officials are lining up a backup plan. According to Buffalo Business First, Canisius College in Buffalo is Penn State’s immediate backup if Army falls through.

The report cites Terry Pegula’s ties to Buffalo and the university as a reason for Canisius’s consideration.
