LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Penn State ice hockey freshman Gavin McKenna was named a CCM/AHCA second-team All-American as announced on NHL Network on Friday, becoming just the fourth Nittany Lion to earn All-American status.

McKenna joins Cole Hults and Nate Sucese, who were each honored as second-team west All-Americans following the 2019-20 season along with Aiden Fink, who earned second-team west recognition last season.

The accolades continue to roll in for the freshman who just last month became the first-ever Nittany Lion to be named Big Ten Freshman of the Year along with becoming the second Hobey Baker Top-10 Award Finalist. McKenna was the only unanimous Big Ten All-Freshman team selection while also earning second-team all-conference honors.
