Undrafted defenseman Adam Karashik(2) extends his eligibility from 4 years at University Of Connecticut Huskies, enters the transfer portal and leaves his home state for only a 2nd time in his thus far hockey life to skate for Notre Dame University Fighting Irish 2021/2022, as a graduate student.
The 6′ 201 lbs. blue liner played all of youth hockey and only year listed, as a senior at Avon Old Farms, near his birth place of Ridgefield, CT, before leaving for a first taste of USHL juniors.
He was actually drafted in the previous season by a different team, but ended up playing a full season for Chicago Steel, winning the 2017 Clark Cup Championship before heading to school.
The 23-year old should be able to rock in Big Ten competition before possibly turning pro for 2022.
As captain for his new college club, he puts up a new college best 15 assists and 16 points with a +15 rating to turn pro with Lehigh Valley Phantoms, as he completes his schooling.
In 8 AHL games, he doesn’t come away with a point, but impresses enough to sign for his official rookie season in PA.
