The 11 additions include forwards Jacob Friedman (West Bloomfield, Mich.), Michael Longo (Allison Park), Michael McDonagh (Wilmington, Mass.), Tommy Olczyk (Long Grove, Ill.), George Saad (Wexford) and Eric Steinour (Carlisle); defensemen Brian Dolan (Havertown), Rich O'Brien (Furlong) and Peter Sweetland (Newton); and goaltenders Matt Madrazo (Sea Cliff, N.Y.) and PJ Musico (Orange, Calif.).
"All of the returning players on this roster have demonstrated a high level of work ethic and commitment to their academics, our hockey program and Penn State," said Gadowsky. "We take `Success with Honor' seriously, and these student-athletes have proven to represent themselves accordingly."
The newcomers join Taylor Holstrom (Yorba Linda, Calif.), Nate Jensen (Shorewood, Minn.), Bryce Johnson (Grimes, Iowa) and Justin Kirchhevel (Brookings, S.D.) - four transfers with NCAA Division I experience who were unveiled as the first four varsity team members in September 2011. In 2011-12, all 15 played for Penn State's club program under Gadowsky, who served as the team's head coach during its NCAA transition.
