## Resource

As the college hockey season wraps up, we look at the biggest storyline of the year: Gavin McKenna's one (and likely only) season in the NCAA at Penn State. Chris and Cam discuss the many, many facets of McKenna's decision including if he made the right call to go to Penn State, if the team's investment in him paid off and what's next for the player. Additionally, Chris and Cam discuss a new proposed NCAA rule that could throw everything in this ever-changing landscape into further flux. Plus, Chris shares some thoughts from a trip to Brantford to see arguably the best team in junior hockey -- the OHL's Brantford Bulldogs. Don't miss our regular segments including Beyond Belief and You Have To Pick One as Cam rubs it in that he is in Las Vegas and Chris is not. Learn more about your ad choices.
