COACHES VIEW:
'Charley will be a key ingredient this spring. As a fifth year player, he has the experience to help again in the face off game, but we expect him to be healthy enough to blend into the offense more this spring. Henneghan[apos]s face off style coordinates well with Joe Britt to give the Nittany Lions a great 1-2 punch. Charley has worked hard on conditioning, but must remain healthy to allow us to use his fine shooting skills. He as played EMO in the past, and may help their this spring also.' - Coach Thiel
