HERSHEY - Tonight's game between the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (15-7-3) and the Hershey Bears (11-11-3) is going to be delayed and start later than it's scheduled time of 7:00 p.m. ET due to the fact the Phantoms - the visiting team - has not yet arrived as it nears 6:00 p.m. ET.

League rules state that the game will not start until one hour after the visiting team arrives and enters the building.

Tonight marks a first for me arriving to the rink before the team I am covering does. Reports are the Interstate 78-West is closed at Exit 40 due to a motor vehicle accident likely caused by some snow squalls coming through the area.

Stay tuned on Twitter @TonyAndrock for all the latest updates on tonight's game.
