The ECAC/West (&S,E,N) is in effect a lower-cost alternative for varsity
hockey, which is why you'll find a number of Div. I and II schools playing
hockey in it, in addition to the many Div. III schools. Besides Canisius,
other Div. I schools which come to mind include UConn, Holy Cross, and St.
Bonaventure. For a club team such as Penn State, a move to ECAC hockey would
probably be a better transition step than going as a Div. I independent: less
expensive, easier scheduling (in the past few years it had become almost
impossible for the independents to schedule other Div. I teams), but some good
recruiting & rivalry potential.
