Clarkson University Golden Knights‘ graduate goaltender Austin Roden(33) played a college career by-a-mile best 24 games last season.

He posted a 12-10-1 record with a 2.44 GAA and .904 SV% in 2023/2024.

The 6’1″ 185 lbs. has twice transferred, 1st at University Of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks, then a senior year at Providence College Friars before arriving New York.

He played 3 BCHL frames before committing to school.

We shall see what the 25-year old from Surrey, BC decides next.

Curry College Colonels‘ sophomore left wing Manny Cabral(27) transferred as a freshman from New England College Pilgrims.

The pretty big 6’3″ 191 lbs. forward did 1 CCHL season of junior hockey before heading to school.

He tried to play in the COVID busted 2020/2021, but managed just 2 NAHL games for Northeast Generals.

The 22-year old Providence, RI native scored decently last campaign with a +2 rating.

Salve Regina University Seahawks‘ senior left wing Seth Benson(5) finishes up school and signs a 1st pro deal with Atlanta Gladiators.

The big 6’4″ 212 lbs. forward scored 11 goals a 2nd college season and could definitely pocket tallies in the ECHL.

A native of Moorhead, MN, he jumped around 2 years of juniors before committing.

The 25-year old is likely ready to see what he can do as a pro.

Anna Maria College AMCATS‘ freshman goaltender Matt Hennessey(40) snags D3 rookie of the year honors for his work in net on an independent team, posting a 10-5 record with a 2.59 GAA and .932 SV% with some impressive victories 4-1 over Plymouth State University Panthers for 1 we got to see.

The 6’2″ 181 lbs. net minder from Warman, SK did mostly 2 years of AJHL junior hockey for a couple teams before committing to school.

He should see even more time in the cage than 17 games as a sophomore.

 

Lindenwood University Lions‘ senior defenseman Zach Aughe(13) skated a college career best 28 games and scored new highs 7 assists and 10 points.

We think the pretty big 6’3″ 205 lbs. blue liner is a prime candidate for a year of eligibility to return (or even possibly look elsewhere) after he already did following a freshman frame at University Of Maine Black Bears.

The 24-year old Clarkston, MI native played only 1 NAHL season of juniors, doing pretty well for Aberdeen Wings.
