Friends of Penn State Men's Hockey
The supporters' club for Penn State men's ice hockey — members, newsletters and events in Hockey Valley since the Icers era.
Who we are
The objective of Friends of Penn State Men's Hockey, Inc. is to increase fan support and involvement of alumni, students and the community in the Penn State men's hockey program. Membership affords the opportunity to interact with the program and with other supporters at a number of events through the season.
The club traces its work back to the club-hockey era, when it operated as the Men's Hockey Booster Club, and it has published a newsletter, run socials and organised road trips continuously since. More about the club.
Membership
Membership is open to alumni, students, staff and anyone in the community with an interest in the men's hockey program. Members receive Full Strength, the club newsletter, and invitations to socials, arena tours and travel.
Details of the membership levels the club has offered, and how enquiries are handled, are on the membership page.
Officers and committees
The club is run by a volunteer Board of Directors, with committee chairs responsible for membership, the newsletter, social events and the club's historical records.
