Why would this Pennsylvania kid want to leave our hockey team? Doesn't this come as a big surprise?

He's a solid player, but ultimately, not a game changer. I think PSU is bringing in some really good players next year so he may see the writing on the wall.

money - scholarship or NIL? Why not get that last year paid for? Hockey is not football, so the full ride is not given to all - if any.

It’s not, according to Wikipedia. Chris Gratton has a son who plays hockey, but his first name is Zachary.
