August 30, 20223 yr Brian Hartman - TJ to Niagara Mark Scally - Moon to PSU (ACHA) to AHL/ECHL CJ Severyn - Beaver to USDP to OSU to Calgary draft pick to AHL/ECHL
August 31, 20223 yr Jason Crain, Andy Walbert, Jon Yackmak, Aaron Faust, JB Bittner, and Jake Hildebrand are a few I see missing. All played NCAA 1, 3 a couple even drafted. All great players. That is a few off the top of my head that you missed.
August 31, 20223 yr OK, so this list is getting pretty long and I'm sure there are a lot of kids missed along the way. Not so bad for Southwestern Pa. I'll bet if you go any farther South you won't find nearly as many kids. Pa is south in terms of serious Hockey talent. Northeast and North Central US (Minnesota, Michigan, etc.) has the bulk of US Hockey talent.
September 1, 20223 yr Author @BeaverFalls - DO NOT LIST ANY ACHA, we are talking NCAA D1, D3 and any level of pro - Tom Mooney played 4 years at Notre Dame - Dave Tench played 1 game for Toledo ECHL - Jack Williams - Greensburg Salem, left the area in (i think) 10th grade to billet & play somewhere north of PA just don't remember where. Played 5 yrs OHL (Kitchener, North Bay) then 11 years bouncing from ECHL, CHL, WCHL, WPHL, IHL, UHL Josh Piro - Johnstown - Played NCAA Elmira, ECHL, UHL, SPHL, Germany GerObl I gotta think about the women's side a bit, I can probably list a dozen or so....
