The familial ties are beginning to grow strong in Penn State. Earlier this year, Oskar Autio, Erik’s younger brother, committed to play hockey for Guy Gadowsky’s Nittany Lions. Tuesday evening, another younger brother announced his intent to do the same.
Proud and honored to announce my commitment to play hockey at Penn State University. Thanks to my family and all my coaches. #WeAre

Christian, younger brother of alternate captain Chase, currently plays for the Madison Capitals of the USHL, the same team that produced current Lions’ rearguard Cole Hults.
