Percy Fynan

Percy Frynan was the head coach of the Penn Quakers men's ice hockey team from the later part of the 1928-29 season. He would replace Normand Shay part way through the season. He compliled a 2-4-1 record winning the final two games of the season at home 3-2 and 3-1 against the MIT Engineers and Rensselaer Engineers respectively.
The first game under Fynan was a debacle as the team was solidly defeated 1–9 but the team was getting used to their new coach as well as a new lineup. Captain O'Reilly had been shifted to wing while new addition Jim Holland was installed at center. The Quakers weren't able to improve on their first meeting with BC, mainly due to a lack of teamwork.
Two more losses followed in which the Quakers couldn't manage a goal but then coach Fynan had time to teach his men a new system. When the Quakers entered the game against a mediocre MIT they knew it was probably their best chance to win all season. Penn took an early lead, but soon found themselves behind. Goodman held MIT back for the remainder of the game and allowed Penn to score twice more to earn their first victory of the year. The program had one final game to play and closed out the year with a 3–1 win over Rensselaer.
The success at the end of the year convinced the athletic department to bring the team back for the following year; however Frynan would not return.
