New Era of Penn State Men's Hockey Begins! — Favorites To Win It All With Gavin McKenna
Episode Description
This might be the best Penn State men’s hockey team in program history. Host Zach Seyko is joined by PSU hockey radio announcer Eric Ohlson to preview the 2025–26 season, which could end with a national championship run.
They break down the star power of Gavin McKenna, Jackson Smith, and Luke Misa, the returning nucleus from last year’s Frozen Four squad, and the depth that makes this team special. We also dive into the goaltender battle between Kevin Raidler and Josh Fleming, the defensive pairings to watch, and a brutal Big Ten schedule that includes an outdoor game at Beaver Stadium against Michigan State.
Can Penn State handle the pressure of expectations and deliver the first national title in program history?
