UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - When Penn State takes the ice this weekend for a showdown with No. 5 Wisconsin, it will be the team's second to last home series and it will mean we're just one week away from the end of a history season for the men's hockey program.
For forward Michael McDonagh, however, it's just another step in a long hockey journey.
McDonagh, the team's lone senior, has been a part of Penn State hockey for four years. Prior to joining coach Guy Gadowsky's squad, he was a member of the Nittany Lions' club team, the Ice Lions. During his time with the Ice Lions, he was a force, playing 61 games and collecting 47 points.
Then, the announcement came that Penn State was adding a Division I team, and the Wilmington, Mass., native knew he wanted to be a part of the historic beginning.
"I've played hockey my whole life...and I figured I might as well pursue the dream of playing at the highest level possible," McDonagh said. "That's always been a dream for everyone that's played hockey. So when I got that opportunity, I decided to go for it."
