3 takeaways from Penn State women's hockey exhibition vs. RIT

Penn State geared up for the first time since its milestone Frozen Four appearance Friday afternoon, and the departure of major contributors over the offseason.

There may not be a need to post this year with the coverage the team is getting.

At least the student newspaper is saying something, since Penn State is pretty bad at publicity for this team. They like to say they hope for bigger attendance numbers because of the Frozen Four season they had last year, and then they do a whole lot of nothing for keeping the team in the public eye, and lose all that Frozen Four momentum. How about some articles, videos, pre-game/post-game interviews, etc?

I don't know what to think yet - it almost feels like a sort of rebuilding phase for Penn State right now, with ten new players and so much talent lost to graduation. We'll have a better idea after this week's series against Ohio State, for sure.

Well, I understand your point of view. But, having two reporters at a Q and A session with Kampersal and a solid article for an exhibition is new territory for the program. Now, the program needs a creative social media content creator to get back to the level it was a couple of years ago. That student graduated and she took her social media creativity with her.

Ohio State is a tough opening. That program will be ready.

Kampersal has assembled a very good coaching staff.

My take is when a team is onboarding so many players, a team may need to tinker a bit to find synergies in lineup pairings. Expect lots of rolling lines to find out what exactly you have.
