MIDDLEBURY — This winter it is the Middlebury College men’s hockey team’s turn to host the annual PrimeLink Great Northern Shootout, and Panther rivals Plattsburgh and Norwich will be joined by Minnesota NCAA Division III squad Concordia at Kenyon Arena this weekend at the 17th annual event.
Friday’s opening game at 4 p.m. features Plattsburgh vs. Norwich, while the Panthers will take on Concordia in the nightcap at 7 p.m. Saturday’s consolation game will face off at 4  p.m., with the title game scheduled for 7 p.m.
College officials said despite ongoing construction there is plenty of parking for Kenyon events, with spots available behind the squash facility next to the arena, at Ralph Myhre Golf Course and on campus, including the nearby arts center parking lot.
Tickets are required for each day and are priced at $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at the door or online at the school’s box office website — the “Box Office” link may be found by clicking “Quick Links” at the bottom of the main middlebury.edu web page.
