Allentown (and PSU) to host NCAA Hockey regionals in '18 & '19

[michnittlion]

Penn State is the host institution --- which means IF we make the tournament in 2018 and 2019, we are GUARANTEED to play in Allentown for the regionals.

We had a pretty good crowd (~1000 fans), all things considered, in Cincinnati a few weeks back. We'd obviously have a lot more w/ a home-state location, and hopefully we can make the tournament and leverage this "home-ice advantage" to make a Frozen Four in the next couple of years!

Crazy location for the Mid-west regional. NCAA usually tries to keep teams as close to home to cut down on travel. 3 hours East/NE from State College is a long trip for NCHC and most B1G schools. No doubt the NCAA is counting on a big PSU turnout. I think PSU makes it both years.
