The Washington Pride girl’s ice hockey program is supporting the first NCAA Division-I Women’s Ice Hockey games at Kettler Capitals Iceplex January 7 & 8, 2017 when Mercyhurst and St. Lawrence battle it out on the eighth floor in Arlington, Virginia.  SportsAnnouncing.com will be there to provide P. A. announcing, sports DJ and other logistical services for the weekend’s games.

Kettler Capitals Iceplex will also be hosting the Junior Women’s Hockey League Challenge Cup presented by the Washington Capitals for the tenth time in February.  The arena, which is also the training home of the Washington Capitals of the NHL, is also the home of Bishop Dennis J. O’Connell ice hockey which makes this a perfect setting for St. Lawrence’s Maggie McLaughlin.

McLaughlin is in her first year for St. Lawrence but played high school hockey for O’Connell and played in several Challenge Cups with the Pride.  A native of nearby McLean, Virginia, the homecoming is part of an historic weekend that will feature the first NCAA Division-I women’s ice hockey games, and the first NCAA games of any kind since the 2009 NCAA Frozen Four was hosted at Verizon Center, the home of the Capitals.

Tickets for the games are available here, and this is the first of two events which will take place in 2017 involving women’s college hockey.  The following November, the University of Wisconsin, Boston University, Minnesota State-Mankato and Northeastern University will play a four game series on the 24th and 25th of the month.
