The road back to the Frozen Four is over one week away for the Penn State men's hockey team. Now that the season is rapidly approaching, USCHO released its preseason poll for 2025-26.
The Nittany Lions are coming off a historic season, finishing 13th in the PairWise rankings with a 20-13-4 overall record.
