UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - The Penn State men's hockey team traveled to the last frontier on Wednesday as it prepares to take on Alaska Anchorage on Friday and Saturday.
They key to their success this weekend? That's logistics. Traveling more than 4,000 miles with a party of greater than 25 people is no small task. In addition to transporting people, moving all the equipment, including several dozen sticks and pairs of skates, becomes a logistical feat that only a few people can accomplish. The planning is the responsibility of several members of the men's hockey staff including Director of Operations Bill Downey, head athletic trainer Justin Rogers, and head equipment manager Adam Sheehan.
