Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks‘ senior defenseman Robby Drazner(7) will take on a year of eligibility, enter the transfer portal and next go tend the blue line for Western Michigan University Broncos, 2024/2025.

The 6’1″ 195 lbs. blue liner from Buffalo Grove, IL did 1 season with Chicago Mission before heading north for juniors and 2 BCHL seasons for Nanaimo Clippers.

He never really got points with his old college club, but the 24-year old could be more accountable with his new team’s schedule.

Railers Jr. Hockey 2nd year center Jack Wineman(10) scores a junior best 29 goals and 58 points in 44 games to a 2024/2025 Gustavus Aldophus College Golden Gusties commit.

The 5’8″ 170 lbs. forward did well for Cranbrook Kingswood School USHS-MI, close to where he was born in Birmingham.

He helped his team with the 2024 EHL Championship, getting 14 points in 9 playoff games.

The 21-year old may be a little small, but we think will find his pockets to continue scoring.

Undrafted rookie defenseman Jack St. Ivany(3) signs a 2-year NHL entry level deal with Pittsburgh Penguins.

The 6’3″ 195 lbs. blue liner had two solid seasons at Boston College Eagles on transfer from Yale University Bulldogs and put up a college career high 20 assists and 24 points as a senior.

Not exactly known for recording points, he did post 30 assists in his 2nd USHL season for Sioux Falls Stampede.

Originally a Philadelphia Flyers‘ 4th round pick in the 2018 draft (#112 overall), the 23-year old from Manhattan Beach, CA went unsigned.

He should fit right in at the AHL level with affiliate Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and compete for a spot with the big club.

Through 63 games, he looks to be gaining comfort with 8 assists to his credit and earns a look from the top, skates 20 shifts for 12:28 ice time with 1 block shot and 1 hit dished in a 4-2 Penguins‘ loss.

He stays up for 14 games, recording 1 assist with a 0 rating, and then goes on to record 4 goals and 11 assists in 54 games with a +17 rating.

They are liking what they see and offer him a 3-year deal to stick around Pittsburgh with the 3rd year being on a 1-way deal at $750K.

The 6’3″ 223 lbs. from Bloomington, MN did 2 junior seasons with the USNTDP.

At 37-years old, he’s still having fun out there to sign.
