The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Yikes, the wrong timing for sure - the current players and the dreaded current recruits that have not signed are going to have a pit in their stomachs.
Here is my take Kampersal and his staff have tried to go after every single Mercyhurst transfer and every other notable name in the portal since he came to Penn State. I also think the Mercyhurst girls don't want to go to Penn State out of loyalty to Mercyhurst. That would explain the one...
I disagree with the players being happier ... It's back to pre- covid and no extra years. What does that mean? If the team is doing it right, the coach has 4 to 5 scholarships a year. If you already have players signed it means that you maybe have wriggle room for one more.

Mercyhurst is getting bludgeoned in the portal with five players having submitted their names. That's a bit surprising to me as the program was ranked 12 th.
So far no players from PSU have entered.
