UMASS-Lowell Riverhawks‘ senior defenseman Brehdan Engum(10) enters the transfer portal to do a graduate frame at Boston University Terriers in 2024/2025.

The 6’3″ 220 lbs. blue liner doesn’t score a lot of points, but is definitely accountable on a good team.

He left the USHL for Waterloo Blackhawks with 2 seasons of 10+ assists and a +36 rating.

From Burnsville, MN, the 24-year continues his Hockey East play another frame.

The big d-man scores only 2 assists in 30 games with a +7 rating last season and signs a 1st pro contract with Norfolk Admirals that should be an awesome pro match for both.

He scored 2 goals and 16 assists in 66 ECHL games with a +8 rating and signs another deal to continue with the Admirals for 2026/2027.

RPI Engineers‘ senior goalie Noah Giesbrecht(31) had 30 starts last season with a 11-19 record on an under .500 team.

The 6’3″ 194 lbs. net minder came over from 3 years at Ferris State University Bulldogs, but started out of juniors with 8 games in a session for University Of Windsor Lancers, posting a 7-1 record to move to a US school.

From South Surrey, BC, the 26-year old signs a 1st pro try-out with Rapid City Rush, we think will stick.

He would end up with Knoxville Ice Bears for his rookie season and is loaned up to the ECHL on a couple of occasions.

For the offseason, he heads to the AIHL and signs with Melbourne Mustangs.

Returning, he agrees to terms for 2026/2027 with Baton Rouge Kingfish and should find his game in the FPHL.

Merrimack College Crusaders‘ portal transfer graduate student, left wing Steven Jandric(18) is off to a healthy start with his new club, scoring 3 goals and 7 assists in 15 games with a +3 rating.

The 6′ 201 lbs. power forward is a double transfer, heading from 3 solid scoring years University Of Alaska-Fairbanks Nanooks to 1 at University Of Denver Pioneers before arriving east.

The Prince George, BC native also did ok in a pair of BCHL junior seasons for Vernon Vipers.

It will be interesting to see what develops for him next.

He finished his graduate season tying his college career high 20 assists, while also netting 8 goals and the always gunning power forward signs an ato with Worcester Railers.

In his ECHL debut he gets a first point, an assist and follows it up the next night with a first goal.

He gets a 2nd goal to his credit in his 3rd game, so things are going swimmingly well.

For 2022/2023, he won’t go far as he re-ups to stay in central MA for his official rookie season, after scoring 4 goals and 4 assists in 15 games and getting a 2 game AHL loan up to Providence Bruins, where he potted 1.

After starting the season in the lower league, jumping on 6 goals and 7 assists in 11 games, he is loaned up to Springfield Thunderbirds, where he is given an spc recently to stay.

He ends his rookie season with 31 games played, 2 goals, 6 assists and a 0 rating.

They are liking what they see and sign him to a 1-year deal to continue.

His league rights were sold to Orlando Solar Bears, where he strikes for 10 goals and 6 assists in 19 games, but he spies something new, better and signs for the remainder of 2023/2024 with Lukko and will play his hockey in Liiga.

This is a pretty exciting move for a player of this caliber.

In his 1st season overseas, he grabs 12 goals and 10 assists in 31 games with a +10 rating to want him back, so he re-signs to stay with the Rauman club.

There is little doubt he has found a place to very well play his game with 18 goals and 22 assists in 55 games with a 0 rating, he is invited to return for a 3rd time in a Lukko jersey.

He takes 3 years of Swiss hockey to a new journey and signs Czechia Extraliga, joining BK Mlada Boleslav for 2026/2027.

Michigan State University Spartans‘ graduate transfer from 4 years at Clarkson University Golden Knights, defenseman Michael Underwood(3) has always been a plus player on the blue line, but his team is off to a bit of an uneven, close game start and he’s for the first time on the minus side.

We do expect that to change.

The 6’2″ 205 lbs. d-man was a +29 skater leaving junior hockey before entering college.

At 24-years old, the Bloomfields Hill, MI native is playing his college hockey close to home.

After finishing up his 5th session in school, he signed an pto with Colorado Eagles and joined them for 3 AHL games with no points.

They liked what they saw of the fairly big d-man and sign him up for his rookie run 2023/2024.

He played only 3 ECHL games last season and signs with Savannah Ghost Pirates for 2024/2025.

Just before the start of the new year, he finds himself traded to Maine Mariners for the new frame.

He plays 67 games with 5 assists and a horrible -24 rating, but looks to improve on his 2nd visit to the Mariners for 2025/2026.

In just 36 games, he scores 7 assists with a +17 rating, then adds a 1st league goal and 2 assists in the playoffs to easily be invited back for a 3rd season in a Mariners‘ jersey, 2026/2027.
