It took all of two minutes and 12 seconds for Penn State men’s hockey to sell out of its student season ticket allotment on Thursday morning.

That’s a school record, breaking the previous top marks of three minutes in 2014 and five minutes in 2015.

This is the fifth-straight year that the Roar Zone has sold out.
