UPDATE: We have learned that the goalie has played a game since the incident against Armstrong.
A female high school goalie returns to the ice today for her first school game since she was the target of vulgar and abusive chants.
A large group of students at Armstrong High School targeted the girl playing goal for Mars at a game near Kittanning last month.
All Armstrong students are barred from attending their school's hockey games and the team is on probation.
