Former Nittany Lion Connor MacEachern signs with ECHL's Idaho Steelheads

The ECHL's Idaho Steelheads have signed former Penn State forward Connor MacEachern to a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday. 

A product of Brooklin, Ont., MacEachern spent this past season playing for the San Jose Barracuda (AHL) and the Wichita Thunder (ECHL). With the Barracuda, he collected one assist in five games. In Wichita, MacEachern scored two goals and added five assists for seven points in 15 games. 

Prior to turning pro at the end of the 2022-23 season, MacEachern spent four seasons playing for Penn State where he had 31 goals and 46 assists for 77 points in 130 career games. 

As MacEachern gets set for his second pro season, he will likely play a big role for the Steelheads. As someone who showed well in his limited time in the ECHL last year, MacEachern will be one to watch.
