Mercyhurst to host Ohio State at Erie Insurance Arena

Mercyhurst College will announce the school's intention for its hockey program to have an annual game downtown at the Erie Insurance Arena with a title sponsor at a 1 p.m. press conference on Tuesday. The Lakers will move their originally scheduled game against Ohio State on January 2 off campus for the debut of the yearly scheduled game.

The Erie Insurance Arena is a 6,500 seat facility home to the Erie Otters of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL). The arena also hosted the 2011 NCAA Women's Frozen Four.
