Spencer Cox (13)

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

Long Island University Sharks‘ sophomore defenseman Spencer Cox(13) enters the transfer portal and is up for a new challenge, heading to Miami University (Ohio) Redhawks for 2023/2024.

He committed to his 1st school after a decent NAHL frame for Chippewa Steel, getting 4 goals and 16 assists.

The 5’10” 181 lbs. blue liner, who sometimes skates forward, from Powell, OH will likely find the NCHC schedule a bit tougher to play, but may also add a little pepper to his game.

After 2 years at his new school, he signs a 1st pro contract with Indy Fuel.

In 9 ECHL games, he has 2 assists.

Doesn’t take them too long to re-up with him for his rookie season, 2025/2026 in a Fuel sweater.

Before he even skates a game in the current 2025/2026 frame, he is traded to Cincinnati Cyclones.

He appears in only 28 games, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists, which he takes to some off season training and signs with Canberra Braves of the AIHL.

Melbourne, Australian-born University Of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers‘ rookie center Tyrone Bronte(18) had a very successful COVID blasted season in the college ranks scoring 4 goals and 9 assists in 22 NCAA/WHCA games.

Always a solid scorer through 3 NAHL seasons for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Knights, he finished with a junior career best 36 assists and 48 points with a +21 rating.

It looks as though, he’s been away from home from a fairly young age simply plying his hockey talents to see how far this now 21-year old can take it.

We had no idea he entered the transfer portal and appears to be excited coming out the other side, heading to Michigan Tech Huskies for 2021/2022.

He finishes up his 3rd season, scoring a college best 6 goals and 8 assists in a high 35 games and takes these totals to a  1st deal with KHL Sisak of AlpsHL for his rookie frame, 2024/2025.

Doing pretty well, he returns to North American hockey and spends most of 2025/2026 with Pensacola Ice Flyers, scoring nicely.

For a 2nd straight season, he leaves for the AIHL for some summer hockey with Melbourne Ice.

University Of Maine Black Bears‘ junior center Harrison Scott(22) transferred after 2 years at Bentley University Falcons, where he had a best 8 goals and 7 assists as a sophomore.

In 10 games with his new college club, he has 1 goal and 4 assists, which could best earlier marks.

The 6′ 185 lbs. forward looks more committed to score playing Hockey East competition.

From San Jose, CA, the 23-year old looks to be a pretty natural fit for this northern New England school.

He does certainly best his scoring marks in his 1st year in a new school and then for his senior year, explodes to 18 goals and 17 assists with a +13 rating on a very good team.

His team exits the tournament late and he wastes little time signing a 1st pro deal, an ato to join Texas Stars., but the next day that gets upped to a 1-year NHL entry level deal to start 2025/2026 with parent club, Dallas Stars.

He plays 72 games, scoring 18 goals and 14 assists to gain another 1-year contract to stay with the Stars.

We look for him to 2nd season score a recall.

Merrimack College Warriors‘ huge 6’5″ Swedish-born freshman defenseman Filip Nordberg(3) got 7 assists in 38 games with a +3 rating, but seems to maybe want more, enters the transfer portal and will next play for Arizona State University Sun Devils as a sophomore in 2026/2027.

Ottawa Senators‘ 2nd round pick in the 2022 draft (#64 overall) played his youth and started juniors back home, even playing in many HockeyAllsvenskan and SHL games before coming over for 2 USHL frames.

Brad Arvanitis (32)

Undrafted, graduate goaltender Brad Arvanitis(32) takes a hot finish with D3 Babson College Beavers to a 1st pro contract with the very playoff ready Rapid City Rush.

In his ECHL debut, he scored a 5-1 victory.

The 6’2″ 180 lbs. net minder posted an 11-4-2 record with a 2.52 GA and .918 SV% in his final frame.

He’s definitely had an interesting little journey, first tending cage for EHLP team, Walpole Express before moving up to an NAHL season for Coulee Region Chill before heading to 2 seasons of limited use with UMass Minutemen.

The 24-year old will probably be able to excel in the league if he looks to stick around.

He only started one game his rookie frame before being dealt to Tulsa Oilers, where he played in 2 before being released and picked up by Pensacola Ice Flyers, which he stitched together an admirable 9-6-2 mark with a 2.71 GAA and .919 SV% in 20 SPHL games.

For 2023/2024, he picks up a deal with Maine Mariners, who likely saw him play in college some.

He runs an impressive regular season record of 20-10-1, but in the playoffs was stellar with a 1.69 GAA and .939 SV% to earn himself another contract to return to Maine.

In a 3rd season, he once again puts up impressive numbers, but now it’s time to look elsewhere and he signs in the EIHL with Guildford Flames for 2026/2027.

Undrafted left wing Luke Santerno(25) re-signs to stay with Greenville Swamp Rabbits after joining them upon finishing up his graduate year at Clarkson University Golden Knights.

The big 6’3″ 201 lbs. forward scored only an assist in 5 ECHL games on an ato, but could definitely light up this league, much like he did Atlantic Hockey with assists for Bentley University Falcons.

He scored nicely in his 3rd and final season of junior hockey in the BCHL for Trail Smoke Eaters. as a more than point-per-game scorer.

The 26-year old from Smithers, BC should find some room to pocket points in his official rookie season.

After just 2 games, recording 1 assist, he gets dished to Wheeling Nailers, where in 15 games he scored 2 goals and 3 assists and now is on the move a 2nd time as a 1st year player to Kansas City Mavericks, where he may find better footing to score.

Decently effective with 1 goal and 5 assists in 14 games with a +1 rating, he’s invited to return to Missouri for hopefully a full season with one team.

He’s actually doing pretty decently in a full round with the team, scoring 3 goals and 5 assists in 34 games with a +2 rating on a very good team, but finds himself traded to another good club Florida Everblades to continue.

Once again, he scores well with his new team, 4 goals and 6 assists in 19 games with a +4 rating, but finds himself dealt to Cincinnati Cyclones and continues to score with 2 goals and 1 assist in 7 games with a +2.

He would play for 3 different teams last season and scored decently with good accountability.

For 2024/2025, he is looking for something new to his game and signs with Budapest Jégkorong Akadémia.

He explodes scoring in Erste Liga to the tune of 16 goals and 20 assists in 37 games with a +19 rating.

For 2025/2026, he heads of to Ligue Magnus and signs with Rapaces de Gap.

After a solid frame, scoring 11 goals and 26 assists in 43 games, he trades in loyalty to sign with rivals Boxers de Bordeaux for 2026/2027.

US Army West Point Black Knights‘ sophomore defenseman Samuel Groebner(12) takes a 2nd season of 7 assists into the transfer portal to next play his college hockey closer to home at University Of St. Thomas Tommies as a junior in 2026/2027.

The 6’3″ 201 lbs. blue liner did 3 NAHL years of juniors before college.

From Apple Valley, MN, the 23-year old should do well playing the independent schedule.

Princeton University Tigers‘ senior center Kevin Anderson(20) enters the transfer portal to do a year of eligibility at University Of St. Thomas Tommies as a graduate in 2026/2027.

The 6′ 190 lbs. forward from Regina, SK did only 1 full junior frame in the SJHL, scoring 30 goals and 49 assists in 58 games.

His best year at school was as a junior, scoring 4 goals and 5 assists in 29 games.

We think he is able to take his game up, playing an independent schedule.

Chris Grando (6)

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

Arizona State University Sun Devils‘ 3rd year graduate left wing Chris Grando(6) signed with Jacksonville Icemen upon finishing up the current college frame.

The 5’10” 172 lbs. forward got an assist in his debut, then 4 ECHL games later scored a 1st goal.

His best college season was as a freshman at Boston College Eagles.

He has 3 times struck for 6 goals in a session.

The 24-year old from Islip, NY could possibly find more room to score in the pro league.

He had finished up his time after school with 4 goals and 5 assists in 15 games with a +5 rating, then as a rookie through 69 games, scored 15 goals and 31 assists with a +28 rating.

For 2024/2025, he will be back in an Icemen jersey.

After a league and team best 21 goals and 33 assists in 71 games played, he easily re-signs for a 3rd full season in a Jacksonville jersey.

Through only 28 games, he has scored 3 goals and 7 assists, but decides to head off for a new hockey experience in Germany3 with Lindau Islanders.
