Posted in College Hockey Player, Juniors, Minor League Deal, Transfers | Leave a comment

Adirondack Thunder rookie center Chase McLane(12) has a nice 4 goals and 10 assists with a +7 rating on a good ECHL team.

The 6’2″ 201 lbs. forward did a graduate frame at Colorado College Tigers before turning pro.

From Trenton, MI, he did 3 frames of USHL juniors with Tri-City Storm prior to heading to college.

His first school, Penn State University Nittany Lions didn’t see him score quite as well as he had been able to through juniors.

The 25-year old, former 7th round Nashville Predators‘ 2020 pick (#209 overall) should continue to do well as he settles.

Castleton University Spartans‘ senior defenseman Logan Dapprich(7) looks to set college high scoring this season with 1 goal and 8 assists puts him on 1 tally away from tying previous bests.

The 6’2″ 181 lbs. blue liner did 2 years juniors before committing to Rivier University Raiders as a freshman.

From Amherst, MA, the 24-year old should continue to do well.

He scores 6 goals and 13 assists in 26 games last season, all college bests and signs a 1st pro contract, a pto with Birmingham Bulls of the SPHL.

Neil Shea (27)

Posted in College Hockey Player, Juniors, Minor League Deal, Transfers | Leave a comment

Undrafted, junior left wing Neil Shea(27) has played most of his hockey relatively close to home (Marshfield, MA), but after two underperforming seasons at Northeastern University Huskies, he’s branching out to leave for well, Connecticut, joining Sacred Heart University Pioneers in 2021/2022.

He was a prolific scorer when he committed to college in his 1st year at Lawrence Academy, then took it up a notch in his senior season with 24 goals and 34 assists in 32 USHS-Prep games before taking up with draft club, Cedar Rapids RoughRiders for 11 USHL games (1 goal, 2 assists).

The 6’1″ 205 lbs. forward was once again selected and skated his only full season of juniors for Chicago Steel, scoring 15 goals and 28 assists.

It’s possible the switch to Atlantic Hockey style play will connect with the 22-year old’s ability to amass points.

The Massachusetts’ native has scored big with his switch of schools, amassing decent scoring with 4 goals and 10 assists, blowing away his previous college marks, in 20 NCAA Division 1 games.

He finishes up a 2nd season at his new school with a new college best 14 goals and signs a 1st contract, an ato with Chicago Wolves to test the waters.

No doubt, he will have to step up his game to score in the AHL.

He gets a 1st goal in the league and adds 1 assist in 6 games with a +3 rating as a newly turned pro.

For 2023/2024, Toronto Marlies are liking what they see and sign him to a 1-year minor league deal as an official rookie.

He actually skates 64 ECHL games for affiliate Newfoundland Growlers, scoring 18 goals and 19 assists, but is moving on and signs with Colorado Eagles for 2024/2025.

In 8 contests, he scores 1 goal and 2 assists, but on reassignment to affiliate Utah Grizzlies popped 19 goals and 20 assists in 36 games to earn another year to wear an Eagles‘ jersey more often than not.

We are a little unsure of the detail of him leaving to sign with Greenville Swamp Rabbits, but that is where he shows up under a new contract and should help them on the scoresheet.

Posted in College Hockey Player, D3, Juniors, Transfers | Leave a comment

Ogden Mustangs‘ right wing, captain Dimitri Voyatzis(29) takes a 1st year USPHL/NCDC 17 goals and 37 assists in 49 games, then adds another 7 points (3-4) in 10 playoff matchups that ends in the finals.

The 6’1″ 194 lbs. forward played 2 seasons of Premier with the team, blowing up scoring in his 2nd session.

He commits to Nichols College Bison for 2024/2025, which should be a fantastic choice for the 20-year Fountain Valley, CA native.

In 23 games, he scores 2 goals and 8 assists, but enters the transfer portal to attend Suffolk University Rams for his sophomore frame and is a choice well made as he scores a new college best 5 goals and 14 assists with a +5 rating.

Nic Herringer (18)

Posted in College Hockey Player, D3, Juniors, Transfers | Leave a comment

SUNY Canton Roos‘ senior center Nic Herringer(18) has a new college career best 10 goals and his 9 assists are just 3 off the 12 mark he set at school last season.

The 6’1″ 185 lbs. forward came over from 3 years of reduced usage, as he wasn’t scoring at University Of Wisconsin-River Falls Falcons.

From Calgary, AB, the 25-year old is a pivotal player for his new club.

He had good showing through various junior leagues before school.

Basically has pro hockey written on his sleeve and signs a pro with Evansville Thunderbolts to get started in the SPHL.

He plays a couple games with no points and decides to head off to Germany4 for a couple seasons before returning to sign with Quad City Storm for the remainder of 2025/2026.

Caleb Price (19)

Posted in College Hockey Player, Juniors, Transfers | Leave a comment

After his 4th season of junior hockey, defenseman Caleb Price(19) commits to Lindenwood University to start his college hockey and further education.

The team will compete in DII hockey for one more season, but elevates to D1, 2022/2023.

He played most of his youth hockey close to home, Hocksett, NH with Northern Cyclones 16U/18U AAA and one year in the USPHL/NCDC program with the team before being drafted for the NAHL.

The 5’10” 165 lbs. blue liner spent 50 games with Jamestown Rebels, grabbing a best 16 assists and 20 points with a +21 rating and also went up the chain to play 6 USHL contests.

He would spend the next frame up in the higher junior league, skating for Lincoln Stars, who selected him at #26, but was traded to Youngstown Phantoms to finish out the session.

His next stop was supposed to send him to Arizona State University, but decided on another year of juniors with New Jersey Jr. Titans, where he fit in nicely, getting 6 goals and 13 assists in 46 games, a +10 and found his new school.

The 21-year old will likely find space to play with the independent schedule and grow his game.

He finishes up a 3rd year at his 1st school, but enters the transfer portal and will play for Mercyhurt University Lakers as a senior, 2024/2025.

After 29 games as a graduate student, scoring 4 assists, he looks to turn pro and signs with Norfolk Admirals of the ECHL.

Matt Allen (20)

Posted in College Hockey Player, Europe, Juniors, Transfers | Leave a comment

2nd year right wing Matt Allen(20) is heading to France2 next, signing a 1-year deal with Drakkers de Caen for 2024/2025.

Upon finishing up a 2nd year at University Of Alaska-Anchorage Seawolves, he signed an ECHL deal with home state team, Tulsa Oilers and would get 1 assist in 3 games.

He initially did 2 years at UMASS-Lowell Riverhawks, but wasn’t the biggest scorer in Hockey East.

The 5’10” 168 lbs. forward from Minco, OK scored very well in his 2nd season of juniors in the NAHL as captain with Amarillo Bulls.

24-years old, we think he’s likely excited for the new hockey experience.

He actually rethinks his decision and signs with Huntsville Havoc and amasses SPHL scoring to be loaned up to Maine Mariners.

For 2025/2026, he re-signs, but despite continuing to score gets traded to Pensacola Ice Flyers.

TJ Semptimphelter (35) with video feature: 1-question interview

Posted in College Hockey Player, Juniors, Minor League Deal, Transfers, Videos | Leave a comment

Northeastern University Huskies‘ 2020/2021 commit, goaltender TJ Semptimphelter(35) really seemed to hit stride last season, while playing his only junior campaign in the USPHL/NCDC for Junior Bruins.

The 6’1″ 185 lbs. net minder posted a fairly ridiculous 21-6-3 record in 2020/2021’s weirdo stop & start COVID infected run with a 2.05 GAA and .933 SV% including 4 shutouts.

He mostly posted some good numbers through youth hockey but it was the Marlton, NJ native’s 18U season and as a senior at Lawrenceville School, where it really seemed to come together big.

At just 18 years old he looks like a goalie some big clubs will have their eye on and could even challenge for the top job in his first year at the new school.

He started in 8 games as a rookie and ran totals, except for the record, almost exact to what he did in his last year of juniors.

Looking for more, he enters the transfer portal to tend net for Arizona State University Sun Devils that goes exceedingly well in his 2nd campaign there, posting a 16-5-4 record with a 2.52 GAA and .908 SV%.

For his senior year though, he is off to maybe his greatest college challenge, University Of North Dakota Fighting Hawks, 2024/2025.

He starts 31 games, posting a 18-11-2 record with a 2.64 GAA and .910 SV% and has earned a tryout agreement with Bridgeport Islanders, which will hopefully have him see a couple of games before the season wraps.

After his 1st game in net, he signs for 2025/2026 with Milwaukee Admirals, but is mostly playing for affiliate Atlanta Gladiators, where he puts up some amazing ECHL marks to earn a 1-year extension.

College Hockey Players one question interview with Northeastern University Huskies 2021/2022 commit and Junior Bruins stellar 2020/2021 goaltender, TJ Semptimphelter.

Colby Ambrosio (77)

Posted in College Hockey Player, Juniors, Minor League Deal, NHL Draft Pick, Transfers | Leave a comment

Boston College Eagles‘ senior center Colby Ambrosio(77) will do a year of eligibility at Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks 2024/2025 graduate season.

The Colorado Avalanche 4th round pick in the 2020 draft (#118 overall) didn’t score quite as much as he is used to, playing a college best 40 games, but likely accepted a different, more checking oriented role on a very strong team.

From Welland, ON, the 24-year old did 2 USHL frames with Tri-City Storm before heading to school.

He finishes up his extra year tying the 13 assists he had as a sophomore to sign a 1st pro deal with Toledo Walleye that begins even before his college life concludes.

In his ECHL, he records a multi-point game with a 1st goal and an assist and has 3 tallies and 2 helpers with a +2 in 7 games so far for a more than solid start.

Through his early time as a pro, he skates 12 games, claiming 3 goals and 5 assists, then added another 11 points in 18 playoff games to easily earn himself a deal for his rookie season to be a Walleye, 2025/2026.

After scoring 11 goals and 6 assists in 45 games, he is dished to Jacksonville Icemen, who apparently need him to score for them more.
