The arena is rich in hockey history, and Penn State will look to make at least a footnote.

Penn State confirmed Wednesday afternoon it will take on Cornell at Madison Square Garden on Nov. 29, 2014 in The Frozen Apple.

The game, which had been rumored and leaked by a Cornell play-by-play announcer in December, will be the fourth different NHL arena Penn State has played in since becoming a Division I program.

"We're excited to play at the World's Most Famous Arena for the first time with the support of Penn State's passionate alumni and fans in the area," Penn State coach Guy Gadowsky said in a press release. "Cornell is one of the top programs in the country, and it will make for an exciting night of hockey for everyone involved."

Cornell has hosted the game the weekend after Thanksgiving Day since 2011, playing Boston University twice and Big Ten foe Michigan last year.

Home to the New York Rangers, Madison Square Garden joins the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia and CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh as NHL arenas in which Penn State has played.

The Nittany Lions will also play at the Xcel Center, home to the Minnesota Wild, in this season's Big Ten tournament. The 2015 Big Ten Tournament will also be held at Joe Louis Arena, home to the Detroit Red Wings.

Penn State is 3-3 in NHL arenas and has played in two AHL arenas, as well.
