Parking - reserve parking ahead of time - you can’t reserve parking now but you should check back occasionally and get parking as soon as possible. I usually park in K-Neil Avenue Garage ($15). Easy in, close by, easy out.

We're into August and still no word on a coach to take Allison Coomey's spot on the bench. Would there be any chance of Jeff Kampersal going into the season with just Mackenna Newkirk and his goalie coach working with him? I wish I knew what part of the game Coomey coached and what Newkirk coaches.

For some reason, I thought Kampersal played goalie. It turns out he was a d. Newkirk definitely played forward for BC. I'm not sure that was the definitive answer you were looking for, but it gives you some background info.

Coomey coached defense and Newkirk coaches offense. As Reddington noted, Kampersal played defense so maybe he'll take over the defense for the season.

I just checked and the women's assistant coach position is no longer posted -- not sure if that means they filled the position and haven't announced the hire yet OR they decided not to fill it this year and re-advertise next spring. The ad was still posted online the last time I checked about a month ago.

Janecke made the USA College Selects team. Retrum and Heinglemuler will hopefully take that Sophomore jump this year.

I didn't see this mentioned - Tessa Janecke has been named captain for the 2024-25 season: https://gopsusports.com/news/2024/08...2024-25-season

Penn State AD Pat Kraft got a contract extension & a raise which isn't huge news for the women's hockey team. But I was surprised that the picture used on the press release was Kraft hoisting the CHA regular season trophy after the game with RIT last season: https://gopsusports.com/news/2024/08...ract-extension

That's some big money to live in Happy Valley! Maybe he hit his bonuses because of the Women's Hockey Team or the writer is a fan of Lobdell? Good eye.
