PSU HOCKEY RECRUITING

[anacreon3]

I didn't realize that college hockey players were recruited and committed so young. All four of PSU's Class of 2020 are either 15 or 16 years old.

Bobby Orr was signed by the Boston Bruins when he was 14... for $5000 and a new coat of stucco for his parent's home

Looks like the incoming class is finalized now:

(Note: two guys signed during the fall signing period, hence the difference in numbers between the two articles.)

Interesting comment on Suave as a redshirt candidate. Has PSU actually redshirted anyone? Olczyk stayed for a 5th season, but his first was with the Icers, so he actually played. Robinson got hurt the first shift of his sophomore year and missed the rest of the season. He isn't coming back (could just be his choice). If you are going to sit a kid for a season, why not let him play in the USHL instead?
