University Of Notre Dame Fighting Irish senior left wing Tyler Carpenter(28) scored only 1 goal and 1 assist last season in 38 games with a -14 rating.

The 5’11” 185 lbs. forward had his best college scoring year as a junior with 5 goals and 4 assists.

He did 3 campaigns of USHL juniors before schools.

From Palatine, IL, the 24-year old started in the Chicago Mission program.

For his rookie season, he signs with Yetis du Mont-Blanc of France2.

New York Rangers signed undrafted, unrestricted free agent center Justin Richards(14) to a two-year entry level deal after he completed his third season at University Of Minnesota-Duluth, where he helped the team win consecutive NCAA Championships in 2018 and 2019.

He scored a career high 14 goals in 24 games in 2020/2021.

The 5’10” 188 lbs. forward was originally reassigned to affiliate Hartford Wolf Pack.

In his AHL debut, he introduced himself to his new club with a pair of assists and went on to grab 4 goals and 7 assists in 24 appearances with a +3 rating before his recall.

He was little different in his first game up posting a 1st NHL point, an assist after winning a face-off, through 18 shifts for 10:11 total ice time in a 5-4 win to close out the season with no playoff push.

For his rookie season, he would spent it entirely in the minors.

Left without a qualifying offer, he next signs with Cleveland Monsters on a minor league deal that gets boosted by agreeing to terms with parent club, Columbus Blue Jackets.

He appears in a pair of games and grabs a 2nd assist.

Next up, he would head to Rochester Americans for 2023/2024.

For 2024/2025, he’s made probably one of his best decisions, moving forward, signing a 1-year deal with Dusseldorfer EG of DEL.

He’s maybe a little light on the scoresheet through 44 games, but has a terrible minus rating that has him looking elsewhere for his next pro hockey and he signs Fehervar AV19 of IceHL, which is a great landing spot.

Niagara University Purple Eagles‘ Norwegian-born senior left wing Lars Rodne(10) signed with Adirondack Thunder, scoring 1 goal and 1 assist in 4 games, but is released as they have no playoffs.

The 6′ 181 lbs. forward gets signed to an ato with Wheeling Nailers to help their playoff push.

He did most of his youth hockey and some juniors back home, but came across for 2 NAHL sessions, scoring well.

We look for the 24-year old to do decently.

In 2 regular season games, he records 1 assist, but has no points in 2 playoff matchups.

For his rookie season 2025/2026, he actually returns to Stavenger Oilers, a team he played 19 games for before coming over for juniors.

Bentley University Falcons‘ junior net minder Connor Hasley(33) takes a pretty amazing frame, pushing his team for a 1st time into NCAA Division 1 Top 20 status to conclude 2024/2025 after an astounding little playoff run and remarkable regular season.

The 6’2″ 193 lbs. goalie enters the transfer portal to potentially gain more attention at Arizona State University Sun Devils.

He had a 21-13-2 record with a 1.96 GAA and .925 SV%, including a jaw-dropping 11 shutouts.

From North Tonawanda, NY, he did most of his youth hockey in Buffalo Jr. Sabres‘ system and did really well USHS-Prep.

American International College Yellowjackets‘ Austrian-born, sophomore defenseman Luis Lindner(8) decides to trade in 2 years for a new adventure through the transfer portal and will play for University Of New Hampshire Wildcats starting in 2023/2024.

The 5’11” 160 lbs. blue liner had a better freshman run, getting 4 goals and 14 assists in 24 games with a +19 rating.

He had 34 assists in his one USPHL/NCDC season for Junior Bruins before school.

The 21-year old will definitely have his eyes opened some by Hockey East.

For the 1st time in 5 years, he heads back home to sign in the IceHL with Steinbach Black Wings Linz for 2025/2026 that should equal good things.

University Of Wisconsin Badgers‘ freshman defenseman Brady Cleveland(6) leaves college hockey close to home in Wausau, WI to play out west at Colorado College Tigers for his sophomore campaign 2024/2025.

The absolutely mammoth 6’5″ 210 lbs. blue liner didn’t score last year in 16 games with a good team.

He’s only really amounted to 3 assists on the stat sheet at any given USNTDP junior season, but definitely plays with accountability by just lying across the zone and no one gets in.

We think he finds more breathing room, playing room to his game.

In 37 games, he comes away with some points, 1 goal and 2 assists, but Detroit Red Wings‘ 3rd round pick in the 2023 draft (#47 overall) decides to head to a 3rd school in 3 years, University Of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs for 2o25/2026.
