Holy Cross College Crusaders‘ sophomore center Liam McLinskey(49) transferred after only 2 games in the lineup for Quinnipiac University Bobcats as a freshman and has seemingly made the wise decision.

The big 6’3″ but skinny 165 lbs. forward has 12 goals and 4 assists in his 2nd college frame and is a big reason his team wins games.

A Pearl River, NY native, he was well over a point-per-game player for New Jersey Hitmen, striking for 24 goals and 43 assists in 44 NCDC/USPHL games and winning the league title before hitting school.

The undrafted 22-year old will be a continued interesting Atlantic Hockey watch.

In his senior year, he connected for an unreal 24 goals and 30 assists, both obvious college highs, with a +5 rating in 40 games.

Undrafted, he signs a 2-year deal with Charlotte Checkers that begins on an ato in the current session and he has a 1st AHL goal and an assists, so multi-point game in his debut.

We have little doubt he strikes NHL radar.

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.

RPI Engineers‘ sophomore left wing Henri Schreifels(20) heads into the transfer portal and comes out for 2023/2024 at Stonehill College Skyhawks.

The 6’1″ 194 lbs. forward has exactly been a stellar scorer with 1 goal last season in 21 games, but we’re thinking his new school’s schedule will likely see that open up for him.

He was a dominant scorer in his 2nd BCHL frame for Victoria Grizzlies, connecting for 24 goals and 21 assists.

We see the 23-year old from Agoura Hills, CA settling in nicely at his new college home.

After a senior year with a new college best 12 assists and 18 points, he signs a 1st pro deal with Wheeling Nailers, that should turn out pretty well for the two.
