Waterloo Black Hawks News Release


Waterloo, Iowa-Perkasie, Pennsylvania native Eamon McAdam became the first Waterloo Black Hawk player to commit to Penn State's new varsity hockey program, the Hawks announced Monday.

The Nittany Lions will begin playing NCAA Division I hockey in 2012-2013. McAdam will join the squad as a freshman in 2013-2014.

A goaltender who appeared for the Black Hawks off of the team's affiliate list last winter, McAdam played in four USHL games. He was 2-2-0 for Waterloo, posting a 3.48 goals-against average and 88.8% save percentage. McAdam's first league win came during a 20-save performance versus the Chicago Steel on January 15th. The 16-year-old also played for the Austin Bruins of the North American Hockey League in 2010-2011. Taking the ice nine times for the Bruins, McAdam was 2-4-2 with a 3.32 GAA and 90.4% save percentage.

"We were fortunate to have Eamon available to us at several key points last season," said Black Hawks Head Coach P.K. O'Handley. "Having had that experience should prepare him to be a significant contributor to the Black Hawks this season."

Last winter, 14 Black Hawks players had commitments to Division I universities. McAdam is the ninth player on Waterloo's 2011-2012 preseason roster to choose a school.
