Penn State men's hockey star Gavin McKenna, the projected No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NHL Entry Draft, has been charged with felony assault stemming from an alleged bar fight over the weekend. If found guilty, McKenna could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the felony assault charge alone. The Daily Mail has contacted Penn State athletics for comment on this matter. However, multiple reports indicate that the Penn State hockey team was in a private room at the bar when a person unrelated to the team began verbally harassing a member of McKenna's family.
