USNTDP 2nd year defenseman Drew Schock IV(10) is a University Of Michigan Wolverines‘ commit for 2025/2026.
In 4 USHL games, he has yet to record a point, but the 5’10” 167 lbs. blue liner had 2 goals and 7 assists in 35 games last year.
From Green Bay, WI, the 17-year old is 2025 NHL draft eligible.
Anaheim Ducks select him in the 4th round of the 2025 draft (#101 overall).
Northeast Generals‘ 3rd year center, captain Mason Frary(8) takes just about identical frames scoring in the past 2 NA3HL seasons to a 2025/2026 commit at SUNY Potsdam Bears.
The 5’9″ 170 lbs. forward from North Lawrence, NY was a scorer in high school.
At 20-years old, he is likely ready to transition that next step.
6th year center Anthony Beauregard(92) signs a 1-year deal with Trois-Rivieres Lions after spending most of last season with the team, running new ECHL high totals with 26 goals.
He didn’t quite eclipse the massive 49 assists he put up with Wichita Thunder.
The 5’7″ 165 lbs. forward has twice gone overseas and shot 10+ goals and 20+ assists in seasons with Dundee Stars and HC Sierre.
He has twice earned AHL looks from Laval Rocket, once after completing 2 USports years at Concordia University Stingers.
From St-Damase, QC, the 27-year old would love to likely earn some more looks from the upper level, but in the meantime may just blow the lid off the league he’s in, scoring.
He may have not had quite the season he was hoping for, but is still a point producer and he becomes the 1st league player to re-sign with his club for what will become 3 years in a Lions‘ jersey.
Finishing up his 3rd frame with the team, skating a new best 67 games, scoring point-per-game numbers 25 goals and 42 assists, he will return once again as a team favorite for 2025/2026 after helping them win the 2025 ECHL Championship with 18 points in 21 games.
University Of Michigan Wolverines‘ senior defenseman Ethan Edwards(73) is a New Jersey Devils‘ 4th round pick in the 2020 draft (#120 overall) and signs his 2-year NHL entry level deal as his team concludes tournament play.
He manages to pull himself in for 10 AHL games with affiliate Utica Comets, scoring 3 assists.
From Grand Rapids, AB, the 5’10” 176 lbs. blue liner did 1 year close by home juniors AJHL before heading to the USHL prior to school.
University Of North Dakota Fighting Hawks‘ senior center Jackson Kunz(89) signs a 1-year AHL deal with draft team Vancouver Canucks (4th round, 2020, #113 overall) affiliate Abbotsford Canucks for 2025/2026.
He joined the team for 1 game and recorded an assist, but play in no playoff games en route to the 2025 Calder Cup Championship.
The 6’3″ 207 lbs. forward blew up USHS-Prep scoring, then took that to 1 off the hook USHL frame before college.
Brown University Bears‘ sophomore left wing Tyler Kopff(21) finishes up tournament play and maybe just a slight surprise, as he’s coming off a college best 9 goals and 19 assists collection in 32 games with a +1 rating to signing a 2-year NHL deal with Buffalo Sabres, as an undrafted, unrestricted free agent and leaves 2 years on the shelf.
The 6’4″ 205 lbs. forward from Ridgewood, NJ did all his youth hockey next to home before making the jump to the BCHL for a couple of remarkable sessions before school.
His contract begins next season, 2025/2o26, but he signed an ato with affiliate Rochester Americans and in 6 AHL games came away with 1 assist.
Holy Cross College Crusaders‘ freshman left wing Edward Moskowitz(22) enters the transfer portal after just 7 games of play last season and will skate with Middlebury College Panthers for his sophomore year, 2025/2026.
He had 1 assist with a 0 rating.
The 5’10” 170 lbs. forward from Toronto, ON played 2 frames of juniors up north, but also came down for a succesful stint with South Shore Kings of the USPHL/NCDC.
We do feel he will play way more games and find more room to move and score points in D3 hockey.
University Of Notre Dame Fighting Irish graduate left wing Jackson Pierson(19) signs a 1st pro deal and doesn’t go far from school with Fort Wayne Komets, which should lend him some valuable experience out of the gate.
The 5’9″ 172 lbs. forward only put up 1 goal and 8 assists in 31 games, but managed 4 10+ assist seasons for University Of New Hampshire Wildcats.
From Zionsville, IL, the 23-year old barely played but 2 games of USHL hockey before heading to college.
We think he’s on the right team to find some footing out of the gate.
After 6 ECHL games with no points, he signs for 2023/2024 with Atlanta Gladiators, where he is likely to find his footing to score.
And he does score some points, 17 goals and 26 assists in a full slate of 72 games, the rookie assistant captain will return in a Gladiators‘ jersey to work on that horrible plus/minus, which we are sure happens on a better team.
He is taking 2 seasons of 26 assists to a new adventure for himself, signing with Herforder EV Ice Dragons of Germany3 for 2025/2026.
Western Michigan University Broncos‘ graduate left wing Joe Cassetti(22) signs with Belfast Giants for 2024/2025, his rookie season.
The big 6’4″ 205 lbs. forward will definitely command some space in front of EIHL nets.
From Pleasanton, CA, he came over after 3 gradually escalating years at Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks.
He started as a freshman at Merrimack College Warriors, but left for more time with his USHL team, Waterloo Blackhawks.
We think he parks it, he should be just fine.
He actually gets injured and skates 0 games with his new team, other than some Challenger Cup games.
For 2025/2026, he looks to move on and signs with ESV Kaufbeuren of DEL2 and we think, if healthy will do really well.
Quinnipiac University Bobcats‘ graduate defenseman Cooper Moore(3) left his 2 years at the school with a +36 rating.
He transferred as a junior from University Of North Dakota Fighting Hawks.
The 6’2″ 192 lbs. blue liner from Greenwich, CT did only 1 very strong BCHL session before college.
He was very successful at USHS-Prep.
The 24-year old signed a 1-year AHL deal with Hartford Wolf Pack for his rookie season 2025/2026.
He was originally a Detroit Red Wings‘ 5th round pick in 2019 (#128 overall).
