Penn State men's hockey's freshman class impresses, gives reason for hope after first slate of games

After losing 12 influential Nittany Lions to at the end of last season, Guy Gadowsky and his squad had a lot of questions to answer coming into this year.

Luckily for Penn State, it recruited a talented crop of freshmen, but the question remained — how long would it take these freshmen to adjust to play at the collegiate level?

The Nittany Lions got a sneak peak to the answer to that question this past week when they squared off against the Golden Gophers of Minnesota last week, falling 4-1 on Thursday and 3-2 on Friday.

“The first game is like a whirlwind where things are moving so quickly, and they all look really comfortable,” Gadowsky said.
