ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The RIT women's hockey exhibition game on Saturday (Oct. 16) with visiting Cornell has been moved to the Blue Cross Arena in downtown Rochester at 1:30 p.m. The game was moved after the shutdown of the Gene Polisseni Center following an ammonia leak early Friday morning.

Blue Cross Arena Vaccine Requirements
Vaccine requirements at Blue Cross Arena are different than the current policy in place at the Polisseni Center. All fans 12 years of age and older are required to show proof of vaccination for entrance into Blue Cross Arena (
