After being away for so long, she realized how much she loves hockey and can't wait to go back with her friends. The wait is over and Saturday, November 6th at the Visons Veterans Memorial Arena, professional hockey comes back home to the Southern Tier when the Binghamton Black Bears have their first home game of the season.
