National Events Highlight 2017-18 UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex Schedule

National and regional events ranging from the USHL Fall Classic to a national sled hockey festival, a girls youth hockey holiday tournament, a women's professional hockey game and the collegiate regional figure skating championships highlight a busy 2017-18 schedule announced today by the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex.
"We're very excited by the variety of events - from entry-level youth hockey to elite junior hockey and women's professional hockey - that we'll be hosting throughout the season," said Rich Hixon, president of the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. "And, of course, we're again proud to host Pittsburgh Penguins training camp and regular-season practices throughout 2017-18."

Activity at the complex gets underway in earnest this weekend with "Hockey Sticks Together Weekend," a unique skills development camp for players participating in sled hockey, blind hockey and special needs hockey. Among the instructors will be Ty Hennes, the Pittsburgh Penguins Elite Skills Professional, and Dan McCoy, a USA Hockey Paralympic gold medalist.
The UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex also will host the Kraft Hockeyville USA NHL preseason game between the Penguins and St. Louis Blues on September 24.
