Northeastern University Huskies‘ graduate defenseman, Pito Walton(8) is off to a hot start with his new team, getting the 1st goal of the 2023/2024 season and adding another tally the next night.

The 6’2″ 200 lbs. blue liner has come over from Princeton University Tigers and is making an impact, setting up a next move post college for the big man on d.

He had 7 goals and 14 assist in his final ECAC season and scores a darn close 6 goals and 12 assists in the slightly more difficult Hockey East play, but is really a pivotal +8 rating player on this team.

Upon finishing up a 5th year of college, he signs with Florida Everblades that should have him see some good action from the get-go, but unfortunately only played 1 ECHL game before being released, quickly picked up by Savannah Ghost Pirates for a look and has 1 assist in 4 games.

For 2024/2025, he re-signs with the Ghost Pirates for his rookie season.

After 14 games, with his 1st pro goal and 3 assists, he is traded to Idaho Steelheads, where he should see better success.

In 23 games, the Peacock, NJ native has 2 assists with a -4, but is wanted by another team for their back end, so is traded for future considerations to Worcester Railers, bringing him back to where he did his last year of college.

Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks‘ senior center P.J. Fletcher(26) scored a college best 11 goals last season, but had 16 assists and 24 points as a sophomore transfer from Quinnipiac University, where he attended as the ECAC chose to shutdown next session due to COVID and he went to be captain for Dubuque Fighting Saints and scored 16 goals and 18 assist in 44 USHL games before heading to his new school.

The 6’2″ 201 lbs. forward from Dana Point, CA played his original junior hockey in the BCHL, where he really tilting scoring in the playoffs for 14 points in 18 games.

He signed a 1st pro contract, an ato with Florida Everblades and in 3 ECHL games has yet to connect, but could very well be a playoff contributor.

For his rookie season, he signs with Atlanta Gladiators for 2024/2025.

In 18 games, he has a 1st goal and 3 assists, but is a little miserable -9 and gets himself traded to the new Bloomington Bison to see if he can correct it.

After 22 games with a new team, he scores 1 goal and 3 assists with a -1 rating, so does improve there, but still gets moved, this time to Greenville Swamp Rabbits.

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.

American International College Yellowjackets‘ graduate transfer, center Dustin Manz(9), as a senior from Lake State Superior University Lakers posts a college best 24 assists and 31 points and takes it to a 1st ECHL contract with Wheeling Nailers.

The 5’10” 194 lbs. forward started juniors in the NAHL, but headed north, hooking up with Prince George Spruce Kings, scoring big and winning the 2019 BCHL Championship in his 2nd year before school.

From Vanderbilt, MI, the 24-year scored 2 goals in his 3rd league game.

He takes that pair of tallies to a contract for his rookie season, 2024/2025 with the Nailers.

In 5 games, he has 1 goal and 1 assist and gets himself traded to a team that brings him closer to home, Rapid City Rush.

Through 20 games with his new team he has 1 goal and 2 assists with a +2 rating, but finds himself on the move again, traded to Bloomington Bison.
