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.

Plymouth State University Panthers host #13 D3 ranked Cortland College Red Dragons in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament and come away with a commanding 3rd period 5-2 win to advance.

Sophomore center Will Redick(8) had a game-high 3 points (1 goal, 2 assists), which mirrors what he did last season, scoring 27 goals and 31 assists in 26 games with a +36 rating to lead his team.

The 5’9″ 170 lbs. forward from Wasaga Beach, ON is a hard skater, who looks to be continue to grow into his game.

Harvard University Crimson sophomore, Finnish-born goaltender Aku Koskenvuo(30) is a Vancouver Canucks‘ 5th round pick in the 2021 draft (#137 overall).

The giant 6’4″ 200 lbs. net minder started a college career best 16 games with a 5-5-4 record, 2.87 GAA and .914 SV%.

He was in net for the team’s single elimination ECAC 1st round playoff matchup to post a 38-save 1-0 shutout and advance.

All his youth and junior hockey was played at home before coming over for school.

The 2 teams tied their regular season matchup.

 

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.

UMASS-Boston Beacons‘ graduate goaltender Sam Best(33) posted a 1-0 shutout against the #13 nationally ranked Norwich University Cadets in a major D3 upset for his 2nd blanking of the season.

Earlier in the year, they lost a 4-3 tilt in Northfield, VT to the team, so maybe this was them thinking we can beat this team and getting it done.

The 5’10” 161 lbs. net minder did 1 season at American International College Yellowjackets, but started no games and entered the transfer portal to come to his new school, where the 25-year old, Woburn, MA native has started 64 games with a winning record and 2.66 GAA and .904 SV%.

He finishes up what has been a stellar 4 years at school and signs a 1st pro deal with Macon Mayhem and should be tending his 1st SPHL imminently.

Alvernia University Golden Wolves‘ senior defenseman Logan vande Meerakker(15) scored a phenomenal 14 goals and 19 assists in 27 games with a +24 rating.

The 6′ big 214 lbs. forward transferred as a junior from 2 years at Norwich University Cadets.

He takes his size and D3 college experience to a 1st pro deal with Fayetteville Marksmen.

The 24-year old from Dieppe, NB did 3 years junior with Pictou County Crushers.
