Undrafted senior center Carter Turnbull(21) takes a solid year as team captain, pushing his University Of Connecticut Huskies to its deepest Hockey East climb to the Finals and a loss in overtime to a 1st pro contract with South Carolina Stingrays.

The 5’8″ 181 lbs. forward took a few games to get situated, but finally popped in his 1st ECHL goal and a 2nd one a couple nights later to sit at 2 tallies in 6 games.

He had 30 goals and assists throughout his 3 years with Powell River Kings in 155 BCHL games.

The 23-year old from Nanaimo, BC should be able to light up the league and climb, if he sticks.

He would finish his first pro contract with 2 goals and 3 assists in 11 games to warrant a full look in North Charleston for his rookie season 2022/2023.

After lighting things up to the tune of 24 goals and 18 assists in 41 games, he decides to head off for an opportunity overseas, joining HKM Zvolen for their Slovak Extraliga playoff run.

He appears in 6 games during the end of the regular frame, then skates 7 in the postseason, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist in 7 games.

Slovak rivals HC Banska Bystrica swoop in an sign him up for 2023/2024, and we should see his numbers improve.

He is well over a point-per-game player in the tough to play Slovak hockey, equaling 25 goals and 31 assists in 41 games, but heads of to IceHL for a new experience with Asiago Hockey that could put him back on the radar for a better deal back home.

Undrafted 3rd year, left wing Ryan Dmowski(16) leaves a pair of years and 10 games on an ato with Hartford Wolf Pack for a new contract with South Carolina Stingrays in 2021/2022.

The 6′ 206 lbs. forward played 31 AHL games with the team as a rookie, netting 4 goals and 2 assists, but figured in only 5 appearances last season for no points.

He’s never been the biggest point-getter, but did connect big in his one year of junior hockey with Des Moines Buccaneers for 23 goals and 16 assists, then as a senior at UMass-Lowell Riverhawks, potted 14 goals and 9 assists in 37 Hockey East games.

The 24-year old should do really well in the ECHL.

Traded to Idaho Steelheads, in his 2nd game with his new team, scored an outstanding 5 goals and an assist to greet the fans in Boise.

He is easily having a career year for himself.

After point-per-game numbers in the lower league, he scores a 23 loan up to Hershey Bears, where he grabs 7 goals and 3 assists in 23 games.

This showing is good enough for Texas Stars to step in and offer him a 1-year deal for 2022/2023.

He was shuttled for the entire season to the affiliate, where he scored big, but got no looks.

Looked to make sense for him to push off and he next signs in the tough to play Tipos Extraliga, joining HK Poprad, as assistant captain and scoring a Slovakian league high 30 goals.

The East Lyme, CT native will head to Czechia Extraliga, where he signs with Mountfield HK and we expect results to be again on another level.

We think we are spotting something here, but want to mostly enjoy watching the ride.

3rd year center Trevor Gooch(7) returns from an outstanding 2nd seasons overseas, 1st with MAC HKB Újbuda, scoring a 16 goals and 19 assists in just 21 Erste Liga games with a +21 rating to re-sign to his original team from graduating 4 years at Colorado College Tigers, Reading Royals.

The 6’1″ 185 lbs. forward made his 1st ECHL game back memorable with a goal and a fight to re-introduce himself.

In 5 games he has 3 goals and 3 assists with a +4 rating to contribute.

He spent a couple of successful campaigns overseas, with the first for Sterzing/Vipiteno, scoring a 25 goals and 20 assists in 36 AlpsHL games with a +19 rating.

It may be a bit of a wonder why the Mantua, NJ native decided to return from mostly Austrian hockey, but he’s surely a welcome member back.

After putting up a career high 34 goals and 27 assists for 61 points with a +28 rating, he will head back overseas, signing for 2021/2022 with EHC Freiburg of DEL2.

He should run some more really good scoring totals in Germany’s 2nd tier league.

The 27-year old would tip the scoring scale with a career high 34 goals and 27 assists in 52 games with a +28 rating, then added another 12 points in 13 playoff matchups.

He’s taking these totals to a new experience overseas with Aalborg Pirates of Metal Ligaen and he should completely pop scoring in Denmark’s top hockey.

After putting up close to point-per-game numbers in the regular frame and then matching the output in the playoffs, he moves on for a higher league, signing with HK Olimpija Ljubljana of IceHL for 2023/2024.

He posts all career high stats his 1st year in the league and decides to sign with rivals, Graz99ers for 2024/2025.
