icepack enter the home stretch

RALEIGH, N.C. – The NC State Icepack will return to Invisalign Arena for the first time since Nov. 21 when it hosts Temple University and West Chester University this weekend. 

NC State will face Temple on Friday night. The Owls are 6-16 this season and were swept by Delaware in September, a team the Icepack split a series with earlier this season. Temple was also swept by George Mason, falling 6-0 in September and 7-0 in December. The Icepack dropped a game to George Mason in November. 

The Icepack will play its second late-night game of the season Saturday against West Chester. The Rams defeated George Mason in both October and December, but otherwise share no common opponents with NC State. West Chester is the reigning ACHA M1 ECHA champion and is 12-7 this season. 

Puck drop is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Friday and 10:45 p.m. Saturday. Both games will be played at Invisalign Arena and can be streamed on ESPN+.
