RIT Tigers‘ sophomore defenseman Gianfranco Cassaro(23) looks to be happy to have made the portal transfer to arrive at his current club from a pair of seasons with UMass Minutemen.
In 26 NCAA Division 1 games, he has no goals but a new best 4 assists and points.
The 5’11” 185 lbs. blue liner had a couple of seasons in juniors, where he amassed 20+ assists, but has mostly not been known for scoring.
We do expect the 22-year old d-man from Nobleton, ON will continue to take up his ECAC numbers.
He signed a 1st contract with Lehigh Valley Phantoms, but was mostly reassigned to affiliate Reading Royals, where in 66 games got 13 goals and 25 assists.
An unrestricted free agent, he signs with Florida Everblades and we think that will be a really good move for his game.
