Collegian: Joe Battista talks Penn State hockey and Winter Classic plus more

Joe Battista, Penn State's Associate Athletic Director for Ice Arena & Hockey Operations, smiles as the media see the men's locker room during a tour of Pegula Ice Arena on Wednesday, September 25, 2013. The arena is scheduled to open on October 11, with a dedication ceremony at 1:30 p.m. and the first game against Army at 8 p.m.

Penn State hasn’t even played a game in Pegula Ice Arena, and people have already been abuzz about an outdoor hockey game at Beaver Stadium.

And according to Joe Battista, it’s in the works.

“I think the goal of playing a game at Beaver Stadium is still a goal,” Battista said. “It’s in the works. It’s not as imminent as people out there would like to think, but it’s definitely being talked about. I’m very confident it will occur at some point.”
