“I have known Mo for 15 years as a colleague and friend and I am grateful to have him on board,” said Penn State head coach Josh Brandwene in a press release. “He has been a consistently positive influence on Penn State hockey for almost two decades and his passion for and commitment to Penn State hockey will be instrumental in our success.
“Gina’s experience as a player in the first four years of a brand new college program, her outstanding leadership ability and coaching experience make her a terrific addition. She will be a fantastic role model for the women in our program.”
