MacDonald joins Penn State staff as team’s volunteer assistant coach

Penn State has announced the hiring of Kyle MacDonald as volunteer assistant coach for the 2017-18 season.

MacDonald is a 2016 graduate of St. Lawrence, where he was a goaltender with the Saints.

“I want to thank Coach Gadowsky and the entire Penn State hockey staff for this tremendous opportunity,” said MacDonald in a news release. “I am honored to be joining a program of such high caliber and look forward to contributing to future successes.”

“Kyle played for a great program in St. Lawrence and is a very highly respected coach and goalie coach,” added Gadowsky. “He will be a great addition for both our goaltenders and our entire program.”

MacDonald spent last season as an assistant coach at Southern New Hampshire, where he served as the recruiting coordinator, planned practices and oversaw the day-to-day operations of NCAA eligibility.
