He came over as a teenager and elevated his game as a junior player to connect big in his only UPSHL/NCDC frame before school.
At 25-years old, he should do pretty well in the league.
In his rookie frame, he grabs a 1st goal and 2 assists in 14 games, but is dished to Orlando Solar Bears, where he should strike better for points.
He bounces around as a 1st year player and ultimately ends up with Worcester Railers, where he is able to strike for 3 goals and 1 assist in 9 games with a +3 rating.
A Toronto Maple Leafs‘ 7th round pick in the 2020 draft (#189 overall), he must have been unhappy skating a somewhat conservative 26 NCAA Division 1 games, scoring a goal and an assist.
He doesn’t really go far though, as he stays in ECAC hockey come 2022/2023.
At just 21-years old, he probably find more room to help grow his college hockey game.

He blows up scoring with 21 goals and 36 assists in 64 games with a +32 rating, then adds 11 points in 15 playoff matchups.
The 6’1″ 183 lbs. forward transferred from 4 years at University Of Michigan Wolverines, where he always seemed to put up similar numbers and played a college best 36 games as a senior.
He is also a +24 rating, so has good on ice accountability.
In 5 ECHL games, the Macomb, MI native has 3 goals (2 in his debut) and is a +3 rating.
The 26-year old should get re-signed by this non-playoff team for 2024/2025 in a second.
Yup, he’s going to return for his official rookie year to wear at Ghost Pirates‘ uniform.
He appears in a full slate of 72 games, scoring a nice 12 goals and 17 assists with a +4 rating to earn a new contract to stick around for more in 2025/2026 with Savannah.

The 6′ 170 lbs. blue liner was definitely a lot more balanced in his play on a better team last season.
He did 2 sessions with Junior Bruins, getting 10+ assists.

The 6′ 170 lbs. d-man did a pair of years in junior hockey over in Russia’s MHL with Belye Medvedi Chelyabinsk and did alright with points but was a nice +13.
He only left near the onset of his 2nd season back at his 2nd home before coming over to skate for Corpus Christi Icerays but that experiment went south, so he got himself a trade and once in MA, things started improving big.
While he gets into 30 games, he scores 4 assists with tough +/- on a team that didn’t win much.
He would only get into 9 games as a junior, but decides to leave 1 year of school on the table to accept a contract back in Russia VHL with Chelmet Chelyabinsk for 2025/2026.
Alex and I did a Twitter interview on May 16, 2023:
–Can you explain what happened with your time at AIC? I think if I have my info right, you got injured in a preseason game during your freshman year. Did that keep you out of the season or did you just have a hard time cracking the lineup at that point?
So yea, freshman year, we had a scrimmage some pro alums came out, got into a battle with one of them, things got heated and I got dragged to the ground twisting my ankle backwards and spraining it pretty bad. Rest of the year was pretty much a wash after that happened, got a bit healthy and was able to get a game in although not 100%. Otherwise, it was a year of soaking it all in, learning from the guys, watching how they carry themselves.
–It lists you as playing one Yellowjackets’ game. Is that correct?
Yes, one game.
–Why did you take a transfer year and not play?
I was at AIC the start of the year and I felt good, worked a lot on my body that summer and got stronger. Felt great in preseason and going into it. However, my mom got sick, my dad is not longer around and I have two younger siblings so it was very hard for her. Elected to comeback home, use the year as a transfer year and be there for my mom and my family as I felt it was just bigger than hockey. Mom is doing well now! Family is good. Honestly just very happy and relieved she is okay.
–What was the reason for wanting to head to Stonehill College Skyhawks?
Main reason is the opportunity, wanted to get a fresh start, although I am very grateful to Coach Lang, he helped me at AIC and he helped me get to Stonehill which I’m very appreciative of. For me I just need to have a great two years here, get back on track. My pro rights are with Traktor Chelyabinsk of the KHL and they want to see me develop and play a significant role where I’m at and I believe this opportunity at Stonehill will allow me to do just that and hopefully join Traktor in the future.
–It’s close to where you played with the Generals, so did you know of the school back then?
I had a couple of friends of Choate (my high school) go to the Stonehill and they said they loved it. So I had heard of it, but them becoming a D1 independent school definitely magnified the school for me as an option as it’ll allow me to work towards my goals.
–That was a year or 2 before they declared D1. I think they’re schedule will really help you get back into your game.
Yes, this years schedule looks exciting, David and Darrel Borges really want to put Stonehill on the map, and I’m very excited to be a part of helping them achieve what they want to achieve along with building on the culture they want to build.
–Do you feel healthy to get started in a few months?
Yes, although I’ve been home, I’ve been working very hard on my body and my game. I know these next two years are very crucial for me and I am beyond grateful for the opportunity David and Darrel Borges have given. Currently just putting myself in the best position to deliver for them and their program.
The 21-year old will definitely look to continue to shine and is the next subject of our video feature: one question interview.
The 5’9″ 186 lbs. forward bounced around juniors and finally seemed to settle once he got into the NAHL, where he scored 11 goals and 16 assists in 21 games with a +12 rating, then added 6 points in the playoffs before college.
From Los Angeles, CA, the 22-year old will do really well with his new team.
