UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – As a program the Nittany Lions are in their infancy. As a team they’re young, too.

Penn State boasts one of the youngest teams in the Big Ten and in the nation. Seventeen players on the team are sophomores or freshmen and most have already made a huge impact on the program during their short time on campus.

When the team took to the ice Friday night, beating Army, 4-1, it was the mix of veteran leadership and tenacity from the younger players that stood out. With high energy and a lot of skill, the underclassmen have shown they’re ready to play hockey at a high level.
