• Ohio and Penn State settled for a split of their big weekend series, with the Bobcats winning 1-0 on a goal by former Hornet Clay Labrosse on a feed from another former Hornet, David Fitzgerald, Actually, if luck had fallen the Icers' way they would have tallied a power-play goal, and perhaps a win. Midway through the third period, former Hornet, Justin DePretis snapped a laser high and beat Baksh for a 1-0 lead. However, the goal was waved off because the linesman saw the net was knocked off. The goal was erased and Ohio scored the game-winner with just more than three minutes remaining in the game.
  The Icers won the second game 5-4: former Hornet Lukas DeLorenzo had a pair of goals for the Icers;
• Yesterday's game was somewhat of a homecoming in professional hockey for former Hornet JB Bittner, who as a rookie, leads the Chiefs in scoring with a pair of goals and five assists for seven points. It was also a Hornet day in Wheeling with Bittner on the Johnstown roster, and former Hornets Bill Downey and Cliff Loya on the roster for Wheeling. The Nailers signed Downey over the weekend.
