Anna Maria College AMCATS‘ senior 3-time captain defenseman Derek Raposo(21) signs a 1st pro contract with Knoxville Ice Bears.

He squeezed into 5 regular season SPHL games and has skated 3 in the playoffs, but no points yet.

The always big guy, D3 d-man at 6’3″ 200 lbs. scored a college best 26 assists and 31 points with a +16 rating in 27 games last season.

From Hannon, ON, the 25-year old skated a couple Canadian junior leagues before college.

He would notch 2 points in 8 playoff games and will take it overseas to a rookie season with Bisons Les Neuilly-sur-Marne of France2, 2025/2026.

6’6″ 216 lbs. defenseman Jacob Modry(2) signs a 1st pro deal with Savannah Ghost Pirates, where in 3 ECHL games he’s like having a lot of fun, but also has a 1st assist.

He finished up college with 2 years at SUNY-Plattsburgh State Cardinals after maybe two underwhelming frames with Merrimack College Warriors.

As a senior, he tied his best 4 goals and got a new high 19 assists, 23 points in 28 D3 games with a +21 rating.

The 24-year old from El Segundo, CA will need maybe just settle a bit to find his team.

He started 2023/2024 with Newfoundland Growlers, but after 20 ECHL games with 2 goals and 2 assists, he gets shipped to Greenville Swamp Rabbits, which is probably the best landing spot possible for the big man on wheels.

No points after 22 games, but he maintains a nice +6 rating on accountability and they easily see something there to continue working with and sign him up to stay in a Swamp Rabbits‘ sweater for 2024/2025.

Rivier University Raiders‘ graduate right wing Cody Rumsey(71) pots a 1st goal of the 2024/2025 season in his 7th game.

The 5’11” 185 lbs. forward, who transfer a year of eligibility after 4 at Franklin Pierce University Ravens, where he scored pretty well in 3 seasons.

From York, PA, the 25 year old did 3 years of junior hockey in the EHL, scoring 40 points in 42 games in his 3rd frame before heading to school.

In a last season, playing 21 games, he posted 5 goals and 4 assists and signs a 1st pro deal with Binghamton Black Bears of the FPHL for his rookie frame, 2025/2026.

Undrafted center Grant Loven(23) had to jump around a few schools before finding the right home in his graduate season at Canisius College Golden Griffins, who went on to win the 2023 Atlantic Hockey title.

The 6′ 190 lbs. forward had a 2nd solid frame in NAHL juniors with Minot Minotaurus, scoring 13 goals, 35 assists and a +13 rating before committing to his 1st school Northern Michigan University Wildcats , where he actually seemed to be doing pretty decently before midseason decided to switch things up and maybe head to the closer to home University Of St. Thomas Tommies.

From East Grand Forks, MN, the 25-year old signs a 1st pro deal with Fayetteville Marksmen.

We think he’ll contribute well in the SPHL.

After blowing up scoring to 15 points in 13 games, he is loaned up to Adirondack Thunder, where he appears in 57 ECHL games, scoring 10 goals and 15 assists with a +6 rating.

It’s a very easy contract to hand out, if he wants to sign and he is back on to stay in Adirondack for 2025/2026.

University Of Southern Maine Huskies‘ senior defenseman Cole Ouellette(11) signs a 1st pro contract with Baton Rouge Zydeco and scores 2 assists in 7 FPHL games.

The 6′ 185 lbs. blue liner played his way up in juniors to eventually skate for hometown team, Maine Nordiques before heading to college.

Heading into his official rookie season, the 26-year old still needs a new deal for 2025/2026.

Canisius College Golden Griffins‘ graduate left wing Kyle Haskins(8) put up college career best numbers, 11 goals and 12 assists in 37 games last season.

The 6′ 185 lbs. forward transferred as a senior from Michigan State University Spartans.

He did 2 USHL sessions of juniors for Waterloo Blackhawks before college.

From Huntington, VT, the 25-year old initially signed with Orlando Solar Bears, but was traded with no points to Greenville Swamp Rabbits and grabbed 3 goals and 4 assists in 9 games.

We think he picks up a contract for 2025/2026.

Almost a little hard to believe, he gets picked up in free agency by Reading Royals for his rookie season, 2025/2026.
