It's not like they're going to play less than the maximum games just to have a longer official preseason. It is sort of a dumb situation, IMO. Of course, in future years, we'll probably lead off with an exhibition, which will help a little. They weren't going to open PIA with a fake game against Waterloo.<br /><br />I think the women were allowed to practice on 9/21 or something like that. There were a couple of exhibitions that weekend, then a couple more and some regular season games this past weekend, with PSU starting on Friday of course. No clue why men's and women's are different.<br /><br />Reed, Ben Jones recently did a nice feature on captain's practices that sort of gets at the issue a little bit: http://www.statecollege.com/news/local-news/penn-state-hockey-captain-practices-a-unique-wrinkle-as-the-season-approaches,1391343/Kyle Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03988727251887693489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327069433246447816.post-11068849119325394852013-10-02T19:07:09.621-04:002013-10-02T19:07:09.621-04:00Practice starts the same day for everyone.
