The Penn State men’s hockey team will take on LIU tonight in the 2023-24 season opener. Puck drop is set for 7pm, and the game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Head coach Guy Gadowsky’s squad will look to build on last season’s NCAA tournament berth that fell just short of a trip to the Frozen Four. Penn State was ranked No. 16 in the preseason USCHO poll. Big Ten foes Minnesota (No. 3), Michigan (No. 5), Michigan State (No. 9), and Notre Dame (No. 20) were also ranked.
The Nittany Lions lost their top five goal scorers and 45% of their overall point production from last season.
