The 6’2″ 200 lbs. forward did 3 BCHL seasons with Vernon Vipers before school.

From Kelowna, BC, the 26-year old signs a 1st pro contract with Tahoe Knight Monsters for 2025/2026, as a rookie and has 2 assists in his 1st 4 ECHL games.

Boston College Eagles‘ senior center Mike Posma(12) signs a pro deal with Wheeling Nailers for his rookie season, 2025/2026 after inking an ato to Florida Everlades after tournament play concluded.

The 6′ 185 lbs. forward had 1 assist in 4 ECHL games.

In 18 games, this year he has a nice start 6 goals and 8 assists with a +10 rating.

From Pomona, NY, the 23-year old did 2 USHL campaigns before school.

Providence College Friars‘ graduate center Logan Will(62) scored a college best 8 goals and 16 assists in his extra frame.

The 5’11” 185 lbs. twice captain forward at Colorado College Tigers was a consistent scorer there.

He did 3 years USHL juniors before school.

From Ames, IA, the 25-year old signs a 1st pro contract with Florida Everblades and has 2 goals and 3 assists with a +4 rating in 14 ECHL games.

Reading Royals‘ 2nd year defenseman Kenny Johnson(57) re-signs to return for 2024/2025.

The huge 6’4″ 229 lbs. blue liner scored 1 goal and 10 assists in 46 ECHL games with a +5 rating last season.

From Ann Arbor, MI, the 26-year old Penn State University Nittany Lions‘ d-man will likely do better in his new season.

After 13 games with 1 assist and a -5 rating, he is dealt to Allen Americans to help shore up their zone.

We hear he may have announced some type of retirement, but signs with the new league team Greensboro Gargoyles to dispel those rumors.

4th year left wing Liam Coughlin(7) signs with Iowa Heartlanders for 2023/2024 after most of the last 2 seasons with sort of local, Worcester Railers.

The 6’2″ 203 lbs. forward from South Boston, MA had 24 assists in 45 games in his 1st year with the team.

He scored well through 2 years of BCHL junior hockey before heading to University Of Vermont Catamounts for the next 4 years.

We’re not sure he’s found the club to increase scoring, but he’ll definitely be slugging away to put up ECHL points.

Jacksonville Icemen step in to see if the pretty big skater can connect with the net in 2024/2025, like he did when he 1st signed in the league.

He finds his scoring touch with this team, connecting for a new best 15 goals and 16 assists in 50 games with a +8 rating to earn a contract to return and Icemen in 2025/2026.

With 1 goal and 1 assist in 12 games, he is traded back to Iowa Heartlanders, who look to kick start his stats.

Matt Wiesner(25) comes off a 3rd D3 season of 10+ goal scoring for Babson College Beavers to sign a 1st pro contract for 2022/2023 with Greenville Swamp Rabbits.

At just 5’9″ 165 lbs. he will definitely have to move around some to find scoring space in the ECHL, but definitely could do so.

He was a 20 goal, 20 assist scorer in his 2nd NAHL season for Northeast Generals.

The Newport Beach, CA native looks to potentially be able to be loaned to Birmingham Bulls of the SPHL, but he’s likely trying to just look forward.

He has been good for 10+ goals and assists 3 years in the league and is off to a good start 2025/2026 with 1 goal and 5 assists in 14 games, but finds himself traded to Fayettesville Marksmen, which should prove to be a good landing spot.

UMASS Lowell Riverhawks‘ junior defenseman Gabe Blanchard(78) leaves for a new adventure at Sacred Heart University Pioneers for his senior year 2024/2025.

The 6’1″ 199 lbs. blue liner doesn’t get a lot of points, so looks for accountability.

From Buffalo, NY, the 23-year should do better in Atlantic Hockey play.

He gets 6 assists in 38 games and signs a 1st pro deal with new ECHL team Greensboro Gargoyles for his rookie year, 2025/2026.

In 9 games, he has 1 assist, but Worcester Railers see something in his game and trade for him, giving up future considerations.

Colgate University Raiders‘ senior defenseman Nick Anderson(8) enters the transfer portal and will do a graduate year at UMASS-Lowell Riverhawks, 2024/2025.

The 5’10” 170 lbs. blue liner has been an assist master with 10+ in two frames and 26 as a junior.

He also loaded up in his 2nd NAHL season with Amarillo Bulls, running up 36 assists and a +22 rating.

From Portsmouth, NH, the 25-year old will do well with Hockey East.

He finishes up play with 2 goals and 12 assists in 35 games to sign a 1st deal with Orlando Solar Bears, although he only plays 1 ECHL game.

It takes a tiny bit, but he re-signs to be a Solar Bears for his rookie run, 2025/2026.

After 6 games with 1 assist, he is traded back to close by where he played his college hockey to Maine Mariners.

Undrafted 6th year, left wing J.C. Campagna(93) comes off a season, where he skated only 4 ECHL games for Florida Everblades and Wichita Thunder, but mostly took 2020/2021 off.

He has played 171 games in the league, scoring 65 goals and 58 assists.

The 6’4″ 205 lbs. power forward played in three junior leagues (OJHL, OHL and QMJHL) before turning his sights on St. Thomas University Tommies for two years, then University Of Prince Edward Island Panthers for one before turning pro with Adirondack Thunder, potting 6 goals and 4 assists in 16 games.

Nothing strange about that, except the former Ohio Blue Jackets 16U AAA is a Dallas, TX native.

The 28-year old signs with Toledo Walleye for 2021/2022 and we think that could be a super-charged good choice to pocket some career point totals.

He actually switched out his signing to Allen Americans more than midway through the frame, scoring 10 goals and 5 assists in 21 games to agreeing to a new contract for 2022/2023 with Tulsa Oilers, which should be an awesome resting space for him.

Not exactly sure what happened in Oklahoma, but it wasn’t necessarily bad stats, yet he decides to switch things up big and leaves for HC Presov of Slovak Extraliga and already has 4 goals and 1 assist in 4 games, so must be liking it alright.

He actually scores 6 goals and 6 assists in 17 games, but maybe his -10 wasn’t all that great, so left for DEL2, signing with EHC Freiburg, maybe taking it up a little in the playoffs.

For 2023/2024 though, he decides to return and signs with Utah Grizzlies.

He played in only 12 games, getting 1 goal and 4 assists.

It’s taken maybe a little bit to decide where to head next and will once again head across the pond and signs in Slovakia2 with MHK Humenne.

He was limited to only 4 games, but hammered home 2 goals.

For 2025/2026, he returns to shores and signs with Worcester Railers, who will welcome his size into their lineup.

After being let go before skating for his new team, Grizzlies steps back in to give him a contract.
