Undrafted left wing Sam Sternschein(25) played his year of eligibility for Boston College Eagles, but was only able to connect for 3 assists in 24 NCAA Division 1 games.
Maybe Hockey East style shut down the 6’2″ 205 lbs. forward, who once had 12 tallies as a junior at Penn State University Nittany Lions.
As soon as his school was ousted from tournament played he quickly signed a 1st pro contract with Jacksonville Icemen.
In 8 ECHL games, he has 3 goals and 4 assists with a +2 rating on a team headed to the Kelly Cup Playoffs.
The 23-year old from Syosset, NY can definitely light things up and it would be little surprise to see him score a look at a higher level for 2022/2023 play.
He bounced around, playing minimal games with a couple team, but wasn’t able to connect so well, yet Toledo Walleye see something in his big frame that they can maybe use and teach how to use and connect for points in 2023/2024.
After only 1 game with his contract team, he is waived and claimed by Idaho Steelheads.
He appears in only 14 games, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists with a +3 rating, but it’s enough to earn him a full season look for 2024/2025 in a Steelheads‘ sweater.
For his 2nd season, he signs with his last team, but is traded to the new Bloomington Bison before he gets started.
