In a family of hockey players, Penn State men's hockey's Christian Berger stands out

Guy Gadowsky has coached numerous players throughout his days as a head coach — but three of those players all grew up under the same roof.

Brothers Jack and Chase Berger previously played under Gadowksy during their collegiate days, and this season freshman Christian Berger will become the third member of the family to call Gadowsky “coach."

Christian, a 6-foot defenseman from St. Louis, is the youngest of the five brothers, all of whom have pushed each other to be better players and people.

Christian has taken full advantage of being the youngest, and has tried to learn from his older brothers.
