WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins will host Mental Health Awareness Night this Saturday, Jan. 17 at Mohegan Arena at Casey Plaza. Game time between the Penguins and Hartford Wolf Pack is slated for 6:05 p.m.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is collaborating with Shoulder Check to make Saturday's game against the Wolf Pack an informative evening for fans regarding resources to monitor and improve their mental health.

Shoulder Check encourages "checking in" on friends, family members and teammates as a powerful tool for mental well-being. Many current and former NHL players partner with Shoulder Check to spread their message of mental health awareness and building strong, supportive communities.

Rob Thorsen, Founder and Executive Director of Shoulder Check, will be on hand for a ceremonial puck drop as well as at a dedicated Shoulder Check table on the concourse.

Season-ticket packages for the Penguins' 2025-26 season, including 12-game, Flexbook and Premium Seating plans, as well as Corporate Partnership opportunities are available by reaching out to the Penguins directly at (570) 208-7367.
