While they was never as large of a concern to most Penn Staters as the status of Army’s visit to break in Pegula Ice Arena’s varsity rink on Friday, the Nittany Lions’ games next weekend now appear to be safe as well.

PSU is scheduled to head to Colorado Springs, CO on October 18th and 19th to play the Air Force Academy, a return trip for last season’s split at the Ice Pavilion. As with Army, the ongoing federal government shutdown had raised doubts as to whether the series would go off, particularly after an exhibition between Air Force and the University of New Brunswick scheduled for Monday was cancelled. However, the Falcons’ athletic department announced on Wednesday that future contests will proceed as planned.
