Sophomore, Forward, Calgary, Alberta

During his collegiate hockey career at Penn State University through the 2024–25 season, Aiden Fink quickly emerged as one of the nation’s premier offensive talents. As a freshman in 2023–24, he led the Nittany Lions in scoring with 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists) in 34 games, setting a program freshman record with eight power-play goals and earning a spot on the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. Fink elevated his game even further in his sophomore 2024–25 campaign, setting Penn State single-season records with 23 goals and 53 points in 40 games. His historic season made him the first Hobey Baker Award Top-10 Finalist in program history, alongside earning unanimous First-Team All-Big Ten accolades and AHCA West Second-Team All-American honors. Off the ice, Fink actively participated in team and student-athlete community initiatives, including:

  • Youth Hockey Clinics: Volunteering at regional youth hockey clinics to coach and mentor aspiring young players in Pennsylvania.
  • Penn State Student-Athlete Outreach: Engaging in campus community service events and athletic department youth outreach programs.
  • Charitable Community Initiatives: Supporting team-led charitable drives and community engagement initiatives throughout his collegiate tenure.

Prior to entering college, Fink spent two dominant seasons in junior hockey with the Brooks Bandits of the AJHL (2021–2023), culminating in a stellar 2022–23 campaign where he led the league with 97 points in 54 games and led the Bandits to back-to-back Centennial Cup national titles. His sensational final junior season earned him both AJHL and CJHL Most Valuable Player and Top Forward honors, as well as tournament MVP accolades at the 2023 Centennial Cup. Recognized for his dynamic scoring prowess and relentless pace, Fink was selected by the Nashville Predators in the seventh round (218th overall) of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. Following his record-breaking sophomore NCAA season in 2024–25, Fink continued to hold his status as one of Nashville's top collegiate prospects.
