Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - What is the area of a hockey net in square feet?
A puck moving along the ice exhibits what kind of friction?
Can you locate Radim Zohorna's home country on a map?
These are just some of the questions that will be answered when the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins host their inaugural 'Learn With Hockey' School & STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) day game on Wednesday, Oct. 5 against the Hershey Bears.
The puck (which has a circumference of 9.5 inches) will drop at 10:30 a.m. at Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza.
Schools throughout the region are invited to attend the game, which will see each student receive a special Penguins workbook, featuring STEM-related, hockey-themed puzzles, problems, games and info designed to educate students in a fun and exciting way.
"We think this is going to be a fun and educational way to present hockey to kids in Northeastern PA," said Penguins CEO Jeff Barrett.

The Oct. 5 game gives us a chance to celebrate both the importance of STEM and the excitement of Penguins hockey."
