Prior to turning pro, Sholl played three years of NCAA Division I hockey at Bowling Green State University. Sholl was 7-10-0 at Bowling Green with two shutouts, a 3.93 goals-against average, and an .891 save percentage. He was named to the WCHA All-Academic Team in 2016.

In a separate move, the Steelheads traded goaltender Carmine Guerriero to the Manchester Monarchs on Wednesday for future considerations.
