Crew Petty, a freshman goaltender from Kennewick, WA, joins Penn State's hockey roster for the 2026-27 season. Standing at 6’4” and 205 pounds, Petty had an impressive season at Gilmour Academy with a.919 save percentage and five shutouts. With the departure of John Seifarth, Penn State had only two varsity goaltenders last season, prompting the addition of Petty. While he is the largest goaltender on the team, he may have limited playing time behind starter Josh Fleming and backup Ryder Fleming unless injuries occur.
