Plymouth State University Panthers‘ senior left wing, captain Ethan Stuckless(18) scores a college best 15 goals last season and signs a 1st pro contract with Fayettesville Markmen.

The 6′ 194 lbs. forward has always scored well in school with a high 19 assists and 31 points as a sophomore.

From St. John’s, NL, the 24-year old played his junior hockey closer to home.

We look for him to do well in the SPHL.

Western New England University Golden Bears‘ 6’5″ 225 lbs. left wing Nolan Dawson(9) was at Curry College Colonels, playing a rough average of 20 games per frame, but just as he did after his freshman year at Saint Mary’s University Cardinals, he decides to switch things up and arrives for his senior session.

He has 2 goals and 2 assists in 11 games, which could see him turn new college best numbers, assuredly in tallies.

From Airdrie, AB, he played mostly 4 years of junior hockey in 3 different northern leagues, but only twice made it work for extended stays.

We don’t think it out of the question for him to add a year of eligibility, where he is.

As a graduate, he scores a college tying best 6 goals and adds a new high 9 assists and 15 points.

He takes these totals to a 1st pro deal and signs with Evansville Thunderbolts, where his size could help him score as a pro in the SPHL.

Fitchburg State University Falcons win the 2025 MASCAC Championship, ending MCLA Trailblazers‘ Cinderella run.

The opponents knocked off the top seed, then the #2 in back-to-back 2-1 games to advance to the Finals after winning only 4 games during the regular season.

In the final game, the champs won 3-1, but have a shutout lead until late in the 3rd.

Junior goaltender Max Macchioni(29) was one of the true stars of the game that went to 2-goal scorer, sophomore Hunter Dunn.

They had a 15-12-1 record overall, 8-9 in the conference, had to win a triple overtime thriller to move on and will face Utica in the 1st round of the D3 playoffs.

University Of Alabama-Huntsville Chargers‘ freshman right wing Bennett Stockdale(26) was able to score a pair of goals in only 15 NCAA Division 1 WCHA games.

The Ottawa, ON native skated a couple of seasons in the close by CCHL for Kanata Lasers before taking it to America and up a level in two seasons with Johnstown Tomahawks, where he struck for a total of 29 goals and 52 assists in 110 NAHL games before committing.

We think the 5’11” 185 lbs. forward is probably just getting himself situated before he starts affecting the score sheet.

He moves on and is a big scorer at SUNY-Plattsburgh Cardinals before turning pro with Maine Mariners, which yields good results in 3 goals and 7 assists in 18 games to earn himself a return visit for 2024/2025.

In his 2nd season, he comes away with 1 goal and 3 assists in 14 games, but is traded off to Indy Fuel.

Through 23 games, he gets no goals and 3 assists with a -3 rating and is traded to Worcester Railers to see if they can get him scoring again.
