2026-27 Outlook
Penn State’s offense needs to replace all four of its top six wingers next year, and Mignosa is arguably the best candidate in the freshman class that can immediately fit in the top six. He played five seasons with the Soo Greyhounds
and averaged over a point per game in his final two seasons. He also stepped up during the Greyhounds’ playoff run this year, tallying seven goals and 10 assists in 10 games played.
The Nittany Lions have options to replace Gavin McKenna, JJ Wiebusch, Matt DiMarsico, and Aiden Fink. Luke Misa and Shea Van Olm may be ready for a bigger role offensively after a solid freshman season. Dane Dowiak will be back from injury. Someone new will have to take a top six winger spot, and Mignosa has the best profile of Penn State’s freshmen to get the nod in the first game of the season. He has a solid future at Penn State. In his final two seasons with the Greyhounds, Mignosa was an alternate captain. We could be looking at a future captain of the Penn State hockey team.
