Pennsylvania prosecutors have withdrawn a felony aggravated assault charge against Canada-born hockey player Gavin McKenna, a top prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft.
McKenna, 18, had a criminal complaint filed against him on Feb. 4 and was charged with first-degree felony aggravated assault and several other offences by the State College Police Department in State College, Pa., which is located about a three hours’ drive northwest of Philadelphia.
