The theme of this offseason for Penn State hockey has been no news is good news. It has been very quiet in terms of players leaving the team for the pro ranks, which is great for fans. Coach Guy Gadowsky is set to return what looks like his most talented, most experienced team in program history.
Coming off a season that saw the Lions miss the NCAA tournament by just one spot after making the field for the previous two years, the returning upperclassmen are hungry to make a deep run in the tournament this season. The first game of the year is just a little over a month away, on October 6, an exhibition game with the University of Ottawa.
