The Tampa Bay Lightning and Pittsburgh Penguins will play a nationally televised preseason game this fall in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which has earned the title of Kraft Hockeyville USA in online voting.
For the Kraft Foods promotion, towns across the country submited stories showing their hockey spirit and passion. Kraft said more than 20.4 million votes were cast.
The Lightning and Penguins will play at Johnstown’s Cambria County War Memorial Arena on Sept. 29. The exhibition will be telecast on NBC Sports Network.
Johnsontown, the inspiration for the 1977 hockey film “Slap Shot,” will receive $150,000 from Kraft to upgrade the arena.
