Dear Wildcats families:

The event includes 4 games featuring the USHL's Youngstown Phantoms, the Muskegon Lumberjacks, and the U-17 and U-18 squads from the USA National Team Development Program.  
 
The USHL is the top Junior hockey league in the United States. Last year, 37 USHL players were selected in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.  
 
Mark your calendar and make plans to come out and see the action.This is a great opportunity to get your first look inside the new practice home of the Pitsburgh Penguins.
