American International College Yellowjackets‘ Austrian-born, sophomore defenseman Luis Lindner(8) decides to trade in 2 years for a new adventure through the transfer portal and will play for University Of New Hampshire Wildcats starting in 2023/2024.

The 5’11” 160 lbs. blue liner had a better freshman run, getting 4 goals and 14 assists in 24 games with a +19 rating.

He had 34 assists in his one USPHL/NCDC season for Junior Bruins before school.

The 21-year old will definitely have his eyes opened some by Hockey East.

For the 1st time in 5 years, he heads back home to sign in the IceHL with Steinbach Black Wings Linz for 2025/2026 that should equal good things.

University Of Wisconsin Badgers‘ freshman defenseman Brady Cleveland(6) leaves college hockey close to home in Wausau, WI to play out west at Colorado College Tigers for his sophomore campaign 2024/2025.

The absolutely mammoth 6’5″ 210 lbs. blue liner didn’t score last year in 16 games with a good team.

He’s only really amounted to 3 assists on the stat sheet at any given USNTDP junior season, but definitely plays with accountability by just lying across the zone and no one gets in.

We think he finds more breathing room, playing room to his game.

In 37 games, he comes away with some points, 1 goal and 2 assists, but Detroit Red Wings‘ 3rd round pick in the 2023 draft (#47 overall) decides to head to a 3rd school in 3 years, University Of Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs for 2o25/2026.

Connor Sweeney(13) committed to University Of New Hampshire Wildcats after his sophomore year at Pingree School, where he managed a bit of an eye popping 31 goals, 12 assists in 29 USHS-Prep games.

He would switch schools to Lawrence Academy for the next two seasons, and did equally as good, while also get his first tastes of Boston Little Bruins 18U AAA and junior hockey with future team Islanders Hockey Club, for a heck of a start, 2 goals in a single USPHL/NCDC appearance before shutting down for the summer.

The big 6’3″ 205 lbs. power forward would next head up to the BCHL for a session up north with Trail Smoke Eaters.

Heading back home to his first junior team, he played 26 regular season games, scoring just a goal but 11 assists, then breaking out for 3 goals and 2 assists in 5 playoff appearances.

The 21-year old should be able to step right into Hockey East play.

He finishes up his senior year with a college best 2 goals and 6 assists in 35 games and will head off to France2, signing a 1st pro deal with Cholet Dogs for 2025/2026.

American International College Yellowjackets‘ Swedish-born, senior defenseman Evan Stella(7) signed with Bloomington Bison for 4 ECHL games, no points to end 2024/2025.

For his official rookie season he decides to head to Czech Extraliga, inking with HC Olomouc for 2025/2026.

He did his youth hockey back home and started junior before transferring to the USHL for 2 frames with Dubuque Fighting Saints.

We think the 24-year old does well in this tough to play in league.

University Of Michigan Wolverines‘ junior left wing Jackson Hallum(21) scores maybe a little conservative, but college best 8 goals and ties his 17 points from his freshman frame to being wooed by draft team (3rd round, 2020, #91 overall) Vegas Golden Knights to sign his 2-year NHL entry level deal.

The 6′ 194 lbs. forward from Eagan, MN scored well through 2 USHL junior sessions before school.

At 22-years old, he could be reassigned to start, but should play hard to impress a look.

Michigan State University Spartans‘ sophomore goaltender Luca Di Pasquo(31) enters the transfer portal after limited use and will likely take up the starter’s role at University Of Minnesota Golden Gophers.

The 6′ 201 lbs. net minder went 7-0 last season with a spectacular 1.70 GAA and .933 SV%.

He started only 4 games as a freshman.

From Livonia, MI, he really shined in his final year of juniors for Penticton Vees, helping them win the 2023 BCHL Championship with some glowing numbers.

The 21-year old is likely looking forward to 2025/2026.

Framingham State University Rams‘ senior, captain center Ashton Collazo(17) takes some decent scoring numbers to a 1st pro contract with Blue Ridge Bobcats.

The 5’8″ 176 lbs. forward played 2 FPHL games with no points.

After high school, the Victor, NY native worked himself up from a season in the EHLP to the EHL, putting up some pretty good numbers along the way.

The 24-year old will need a contract for 2025/2026, if he plans to continue.

Mercer Chiefs‘ 3rd year left wing Greg Diamond(9) played a junior USPHL/NCDC best 51 games last season, recording a new high 22 goals and 27 assists, then added 8 more points in 12 playoff matchups.

The massive 6’5″ 209 lbs. forward from West Chester, PA did all his youth hockey in Philadelphia Jr. Flyers‘ system.

For his 2025/2026 college commit, he choses SUNY Geneseo Knights, which should continue his offense prowess.
