The Nittany Lions represented Pennsylvania State University and were coached by James O'Hora in his 1st season.

After the end of the war, many of the players on previous teams returned to campus.

Penn State restarted its ice hockey program in 1946 and arranged a few games but the problems that had plagued the team before had not been resolved.

The program still didn't have a home building and the cost of travelling for all of its games was a burden.

It would later resurface as a club team in the early 1970s and eventually return to varsity status in 2012 [1] [2]
