Decision Made On Felony Charge Against Top NHL Draft Prospect Gavin McKenna
AI Summary
A felony aggravated assault charge against Penn State hockey star Gavin McKenna, the consensus top prospect in the 2026 NHL Draft, was dropped on February 6. The decision came from the Centre County District Attorney’s Office after the State College Police Department had charged McKenna on four counts for an incident reported on January 31, following a 5‑4 loss to Michigan State at Beaver Stadium. The first‑degree aggravated assault charge, which could have carried up to 20 years in prison, was dismissed, but prosecutors may still pursue a misdemeanor simple assault and other related charges. McKenna is scheduled to appear at a preliminary hearing on February 11.
