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.

Long Island University Sharks‘ junior center Noah Kane(34) decides he wants a switch it up after 2 years at Mercyhurst University Lakers and commits to the new school for 2022/2023.

The 5’11” 181 lbs. forward played a season high 26 games, scoring new college bests 5 goals and 9 assists for 14 points.

He spent 3 years in juniors, but really came alive when he joined Maine Nordiques before agreeing to school.

As the first team captain ever, he would produce 20 goals and 44 assists in 54 NAHL games.

The 22-year old will likely continue to take his scoring up.

And he did, collecting a 2nd round of 8 goals per frame, but his assists popped to a by-a-mile best 22.

He graduates and signs a 1st pro contract with Cincinnati Cyclones.

In 16 ECHL games, he comes away with 2 goals and 4 assists on a non-playoff team.

For 2024/2025, he steps out to sign with JoKP of Mestis.

6th year right wing Matt Salhany(2) returns on a deal with Jacksonville Icemen for 2022/2023 after scoring big for Sonderjyske in 2 years (one shortened) and 41 games in Metal Ligaen.

He left after running up some good totals for Adirondack Thunder, scoring 25 goals and 26 assists in 62 ECHL games.

The 5’10” 179 lbs. forward has mostly come to life as a pro.

He only ever did 7 goals and 13 points in 34 games for University Of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers as a senior captain.

The 29-year old should find some really good scoring footing with his new club and recently competed in the debut 3Ice Hockey Tournament and came out winners on Team Trottier.

From Warwick, RI, he scores big in a 2nd frame for Aalborg Pirates, where he won the 2023 league championship in his 1st year with the team.

For 2024/2025, he heads to Ligue Magnus, signing with Spartiates de Marseille.

Northeastern University Huskies‘ junior defenseman Braden Doyle(17) appeared in only 13 games last season, scoring 1 goal, so enters the transfer portal and will skate at his 3rd school as a senior, Niagara University Purple Eagles in 2024/2025.

The 6′ 185 lbs. blue liner originally did his freshman season at Boston University Terriers after 2 USHL sessions with Dubuque Fighting Saints.

After appearing in just 8 games, he left for a BCHL frame with Penticton Vees that equaled point-per-game totals.

From Lynnfield, MA, the Los Angeles Kings‘ 6th round pick in the 2019 draft (#146 overall) and will continue to retain his rights.

St. Lawrence University Saints‘ senior right wing Reilly Moran(17) tied his 8 points he had as a sophomore and new best 6 assists in 34 games with a +1 rating.

The 5’11” 186 lbs. forward from Hingham, MA signs a 1st pro deal as a rookie with Les Diables Rouges de Valenciennes of France2 for 2024/2025.

He played only 1 BCHL season after graduating Thayer Academy.

The 24-year old is bound to do well, where he is going.

Princeton University Tigers‘ sophomore center Nick Seitz(13) worked out a deal to take 2020/2021 away from school after skating as a freshman to play another full season of juniors with close by New Jersey Titans, as the college team was put on pause due to the pandemic.

The rugged 6’1″ 190 lbs. forward scored a new junior hockey best 19 goals and 28 assists for 43 points with a +11 rating in 49 NAHL games.

He has already bettered his totals from his 1st campaign to a pair of goals and 2 assists in 13 NCAA Division 1 games.

The New York, NY native definitely knows how to win, as he was part of back-to-back youth hockey championships for North Jersey Avalanche 16U AAA.

At 21-years old, it seems like this undrafted player is just getting started with an eye towards what might go next.

He finishes off with a 23 point college best and signs for his rookie year with Coventry Blaze of the EIHL and we think he will do exceedingly well there.
