UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - At his final press conference of the season, it was easy to hear the excitement in Guy Gadowsky's voice when the Penn State head coach talked about the group of players returning to the ice for the men's hockey program next season.

It's a strong group, one now filled with experience, desire and plenty of talent. Outside of senior Mike McDonagh, Gadowsky and his coaching staff expect to have back all 26 of the Nittany Lions with remaining eligibility and they believe they are set to build off their strong 2013 season.

"We lose a tremendous person in Mike McDonagh, but we don't have significant other losses," Gadowsky said. "I think that's encouraging. If we continue to improve individually and as a team, I think it's very safe to say that we should only expect to get better."
