Josh Boyer (28)

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

St. Lawrence University Saints‘ large 6’3″ 201 lbs. graduate center, captain Josh Boyer(28) doesn’t really contribute big points, but gets some, 2 goals and 3 assists in 27 games and is fairly accountable on a team with a losing record.

He transferred from little use as a sophomore at University Of Nebraska-Omaha Mavericks and has always played full slates at his ECAC school.

From Wasilla, AK, he did most of his 1st NAHL junior year with Fairbanks Ice Dogs and 1 more before moving onto a frame with 2 USHL teams prior to heading to school.

The 24-year old could turn pro and score a boatload of goals.

He takes a college tying 3 goals, best 6 assists and 9 points to an ECHL deal with Atlanta Gladiators to get his pro game started and has 1 goal and 1 assist in 7 games.

They like what they see and invite him to spend his rookie season in a Gladiators‘ uniform, 2024/2025.

After no points in 11 games, he gets dished to Bloomington Bison, who think they can use his size to score points.

Max Pineo (27)

Wentworth Institute Of Technologyy Leopards‘ graduate right wing Max Pineo(27) transferred from 4 years, serving as senior captain last season at Stonehill College Skyhawks.

With 2 goals and 2 assists in 9 D3 games, he looks to outpace his scoring as a junior with 7 goals and 5 assists.

The 5’9″ 180 lbs. forward did no junior hockey, but did add a year of Prep to his calendar.

From North Reading MA, the 24-year old is likely pretty on his game.

Logan Neaton (31)

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

Winnipeg Jets‘ 5th round pick in the 2019 draft (#144 overall) goaltender Logan Neaton(31) isn’t finding enough space in the cage for UMass Lowell Riverhawks, so after two tries goes through the transfer portal to commit to Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks for 2021/2022.

The large 6’4″ 205 lbs. net minder maybe wasn’t able to settle in Hockey East play after putting up stellar numbers, first for Fairbanks Ice Dogs of the NAHL, then even better with Prince George Spruce Kings going 32-8-5 with a league best 1.92 GAA, then posting a 16-1 mark with a 1.46 GAA and .940 SV% en route to a 2019 BCHL Championship.

He also had shutdown numbers at his local Brighton High USHS-MI.

The 22-year old may just need the belief he can play the minutes and backstop wins.

For his rookie season, he bounces around some ECHL teams to arrive at Kalamazoo Wings with a deal for 2024/2025.

Allen Americans are struggling some, so trade to bring him in to hopefully solidify the starter’s role with the team.

Brett Chorske (29)

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

Colgate University Raiders‘ senior center Brett Chorske(29) we bet has NHL scouts in the building every college hockey game he plays until the end of 2024/2025 season.

The 6’7″ 216 lbs. tower forward has 9 goals and 7 assists in 16 NCAA Division 1 games.

He’s coming off a junior year, where he had a best 20 assists he’ll likely shooting for.

From Edina, MN, he did 2 years at Colorado College, but struggled getting footing.

The 23-year old we feel is a huge, rightful big contract watch.

His dad, Tom Chorske had a long career in the big league.

Jon Horn (8)

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

Tufts University Jumbos‘ sophomore left wing Jon Horn(8) is off to a hot D3 start after coming over from limited usage at UMASS-Lowell Riverhawks last season.

In 4 games, he has 4 goals and 4 assists with a +5 rating.

The 6’1″ 190 lbs. forward only ever played 5 games with his old school, scoring an assist.

From Southbury, CT, he did 1 NAHL and 1 BCHL frame before committing.

The 22-year old plays with a lot of and looks like he has found his spark.

Garrett Devine (28)

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

University Of New England Nor’easters‘ 2nd year, graduate left wing Garrett Devine(28) came over after limited usage in 3 years at Providence College Friars.

The 6’1″ 205 lbs. forward popped out 11 goals and 7 assists in 30 games with a +10 rating as a senior.

In 10 games through the current frame he has 2 goals and 3 assists.

He did just 1 USPHL/NCDC season with South Shore Kings, then sat a year before heading to his 1st school.

The 26-year old from Windsor, CO is looking right at home playing D3 hockey.

He finishes up with school and it’s time to turn pro and he signs an ECHL deal with the team closest to where he played his college hockey, Maine Mariners.

In 6 games, he comes away with a first assist and is asked to return for his official rookie season in a Mariners‘ jersey.

After 11 games with no points, he is released and before he can even report to another new club, is signed by Bloomington Bison to an spc for 2024/2025.

Brian Chambers (21)

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

UMass-Lowell Riverhawks‘ senior center Brian Chambers(21) will extend another year and go to Arizona State University Sun Devils to start a graduate program.

He scored by a bit of a mile new best 8 goals and 11 assists last season.

The 6’1″ 181 lbs. forward from Weymouth, MA played some of his junior hockey close to home for Northeast Generals, but for his last frame before college, played 60 USHL games, scoring 17 goals and 24 assists with a +19 rating before heading to the playoffs and adding another 5 points to a 2019 Clark Cup Championship.

At 24-years old, he may find a bit more space to score playing the independent schedule his new college team plays.

He finishes up at his new school with a college high 16 assists and 20 points to take it to a 1st pro contract with Kalamazoo Wings, where he should do well in the ECHL.

In 10 games, he records 2 assists, but signs for his official rookie season, 2024/2025 with Idaho Steelheads.

He’s actually acquired by Orlando Solar Bears just as the season is to get started for future considerations.

After 12 games, he scores 1 goal and 1 assist with a -4 rating, but gets himself traded to Allen Americans, who would like to put him to good use.

Sam Sternschein (25)

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

Undrafted left wing Sam Sternschein(25) played his year of eligibility for Boston College Eagles, but was only able to connect for 3 assists in 24 NCAA Division 1 games.

Maybe Hockey East style shut down the 6’2″ 205 lbs. forward, who once had 12 tallies as a junior at Penn State University Nittany Lions.

As soon as his school was ousted from tournament played he quickly signed a 1st pro contract with Jacksonville Icemen.

In 8 ECHL games, he has 3 goals and 4 assists with a +2 rating on a team headed to the Kelly Cup Playoffs.

The 23-year old from Syosset, NY can definitely light things up and it would be little surprise to see him score a look at a higher level for 2022/2023 play.

He bounced around, playing minimal games with a couple team, but wasn’t able to connect so well, yet Toledo Walleye see something in his big frame that they can maybe use and teach how to use and connect for points in 2023/2024.

After only 1 game with his contract team, he is waived and claimed by Idaho Steelheads.

He appears in only 14 games, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists with a +3 rating, but it’s enough to earn him a full season look for 2024/2025 in a Steelheads‘ sweater.

For his 2nd season, he signs with his last team, but is traded to the new Bloomington Bison before he gets started.

Chase Zieky (25)

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

Undrafted rookie right wing Chase Zieky(25) didn’t play last season, but decided to jump in 2021/2022 and signed with Idaho Steelheads.

He managed to put up 12 goals and 5 assists in 38 ECHL games, but was surrendered as compensation for an earlier trade and sent to Greenville Swamp Rabbits.

The 5’10” 187 lbs. forward seems to like his new team, as he grabbed an assist in his 2nd appearance, then a pair of goals in the follow-up.

After finishing up high school locally, the Avon, CT native went north for his only session of juniors lighting it up for Salmon Arms Silverbacks with 28 goals and 24 assists in 49 BCHL games.

He followed it up by heading to Providence College Friars, but in 2 seasons only figured in a handful of contests, so entered the transfer portal and arrived as a junior at RPI Engineers.

Arriving at his new school, he figured in the mix with his new club and as a senior posted a college career best 16 assists and 23 points with a +4 rating.

The 26-year old really seems to be just getting it started.

He would finish his rookie session with 3 goals and an assist in 6 games and only appeared in a single playoff game, but left with a +1, so he will stay in North Carolina to see if he can help ignite this club to the next level.

In a full season with his 3rd team in the league, Maine Mariners, he posts a much better 2nd frame with 17 goals and 20 assists in 50 games with a +5 rating, but he’s maybe a little anxious for more, so signs for 1-year with Rapaces de Gap of Ligue Magnus for 2024/2025.

He lasts all of 3 games in France and wants to return to his home-away-from-home, Maine.

Connor Gregga (39)

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

Long Island University Sharks‘ graduate right wing Connor Gregga(39) definitely looks set to come away with college bests scoring this season with 3 assists in 9 games already, only 1 away from that mark, but he does need 6 goals to equal what he did as a sophomore at Minnesota State University (Mankato) Mavericks.

The 5’10” 181 lbs. forward plays an outright chippy style out there.

From Markham, ON, he did 2 BCHL years with Coquitlam Express before heading to school.

It would be little surprise to see the 24-year old eyeing pro outlets after completing this one.
