Apparently UMD asked one of the Niagara goalies to be a walk on.

Do you know anything at all about Mandy Mortash, other than her commitment to Penn State? I can't find anything at all about her, not even on the OHA website.

There's a Many Mortach on OHA Maroon (2nd team) that is a 2012 graduate. I suspect that is her and a typo was made on the website.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
I was wondering if there are any stats, career overviews, anything at all like that. So far, all we have is that she's a graduating forward from Cleveland.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
given that she's not even on the top OHA team I'd say it's likely she's another in a line of D3 caliber players who will be walking on and playing for a year or two as Penn State phases in their scholarships

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
OHA is a weird organization. One of the TC invites played for the second team. It's not about the best 19 making the top team and the next 19 making the second team. It is more about loyalty. The maroon team has been together for 3 years now with the core girls remaining the same. Neither the Gold OHA or the Maroon OHA are really dominant junior teams.

How any recruits is Mercyhurst bringing in? From the D1 thread they already had 6 listed, plus this latest, plus 2 transfers from Niagara, plus I believe there is a highly regarded 2011 recruit who sat out this past year who should now be academically eligible to play.
That's 10 new players.

Little rough on the high school kid? I'm sure we could all share stories about recruit full ride not playing to the level of recruit walk on.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
No, just stating facts. she is on the 2nd OHA team which is not nearly as strong as the top team and she's going to a new D1 program that has taken on a lot of mid to high end D3 players looking for a D1 opportunity. Some of them will last all 4 years and do well, and many of them will fall by the wayside as Penn State phases in the rest of their scholarships.
That's the reality of building a program, especially at the D1 level where scholarships are involved...and especially at a school with the profile of Penn State that is going to demand sooner rather than later once their scholarships are phased in that their fully funded hockey programs be more than just competitive.
It's not a knock on anyone. To get to that level at all takes plenty of hard work and a good deal of talent, I'm not denying that.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
It was mentioned on the RPI thread sometime ago that there is an additional recruit. Does anyone know who it is?

Good point. Keep identifying the 17 year old kids you predict will wash out after a year or two. Good stuff.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
I will. And you can keep burying your head in the sand if you think more than maybe half of the kids going to Penn State are going to make it to graduation as members of that hockey program.

Re: D1 Commitments 2012-2013
I'm curious, because I've never been at a school that's starting a new D-1 program like Penn State is this season: what would make half of the initial D-1 roster washout before graduating?
