Penn State men’s hockey has what it takes to win a national championship

After taking the college hockey world by storm in last year’s record-breaking season, Penn State is back and they — should — be better than ever.

But how are the Nittany Lions supposed to top the success they had last season?

In case you forgot, coach Guy Gadowsky’s squad broke many program records during the 2016-17 campaign.

The team attained a brief No. 1 ranking on the United States College Hockey Online poll, claimed the Big Ten Tournament title, and earned a bid into the NCAA tournament — in which they advanced to the quarterfinals, just one win shy of reaching the Frozen Four.
