Hockey: Gadowsky named Spencer Penrose Award finalist
Penn State head coach Guy Gadowsky was named a finalist for the Spencer Penrose Award presented annually to the men’s ice hockey Division I Coach of the Year, as announced by the American Hockey Coaches Association on Monday afternoon.
Gadowsky, a three-time Coach of the Year, becomes a National Coach of the Year finalist for the fourth time in his career as nominees represent any coach who won or shared Coach of the Year honors in his conference over the past season, as well as coaches whose teams have advanced to the NCAA Frozen Four.
In his 13th year behind the bench for Penn State, Gadowsky guided the Nittany Lions to their first-ever Frozen Four this past weekend. PSU won the Allentown Regional by defeating Hockey East Champion and No. 3-overall seed Maine, 5-1, on Friday before a 3-2 overtime thriller against UConn on Sunday punched their ticket to St. Louis.
