DAVOS, Switzerland – Penn State junior classmates Aiden Fink (Calgary, Alberta) and Mac Gadowsky (State College, Pa.) were announced as part of the first five players selected for the United States Collegiate Select Team ahead of the 2025 Spengler Cup as announced by College Hockey Inc. earlier Thursday morning.
Along with Fink and Gadowsky, UConn forward Joey Muldowney, North Dakota defenseman Jake Livanavage and Minnesota State goaltender Alex Tracy were also selected. Each of the first-five named today are returning AHCA/CCM All-Americans and represent four of the six NCAA men’s ice hockey conferences.
All returning First and Second Team AHCA/CCM All-Americans received an automatic invitation to the roster. Additional players will be announced in the coming weeks.
It was announced back in August that Nittany Lion Bench Boss Guy Gadowsky will serve as the USCS Head Coach this winter in Davos.
For the first time in the 102-year history of the tournament, which dates back to 1923 making it the oldest invitational ice hockey tournament in the world, a team of top NCAA collegiate players will compete, led by Gadowsky.
