COLUMBUS, Ohio - Beginning in 2009-10, Ohio State students will be admitted free to all Ohio State men's hockey regular-season home games in Value City Arena. Student seating will be general admission (first come, first served) and located in Sections 111 and 117, with overflow seating in the upper deck.
Students attending the games will need to enter through the Southwest Rotunda of the arena and have their BuckIDs swiped at the door. Block O, the student-led cheering section for the Buckeyes, will have seats in the first two rows of the student section to lead the group.
The Buckeyes, an NCAA tournament team a year ago after a 23-win season, open the 2009-10 campaign with an exhibition game against Western Ontario at noon Oct. 4 in the OSU Ice Rink. The regular season begins with a two-game series vs. Quinnipiac in Value City Arena Oct. 8-9. In all, the team will host 18 games in Value City Arena during the 2009-10 campaign. A complete schedule can be found here.
Ohio State, which features six NHL draft picks, returns all but one of its Top 15 scorers from the 2008-09 squad that ranked sixth nationally in scoring offense. The team returns 19 letterwinners, including 11 forwards, seven defensemen and one goalie, and adds six standout freshmen.
