Providence Capitals‘ late EHL entry left wing, Brogan Shea(19) into last season’s mix played 10 games with 1 goal and 2 assists, then exploded scoring in the playoff with 5 goals and 4 assists in 7 games, which he will take to a UMASS-Dartmouth Corsairs commit for 2025/2026.

The 5’10” 180 lbs. forward cycled through some junior teams in a few different leagues before settling prior to making a school selection.

From Williamstown, NJ, he did most of his youth hockey in the Philadelphia Jr. Flyers youth system.

The 21-year old will likely find some connections in MASCAC play.

University Of Maine Black Bears‘ junior left wing Aidan Carney(16) enters the transfer portal and heads to Liberty University Flames for 2025/2026 after only appearing in 5 games last season.

The big 6’4″ 209 lbs. forward appeared in 19 games as a freshman, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist.

He was not a great scorer in juniors, but did come somewhat alive in his last NAHL session before school.

We do expect the 23-year old to score pretty well in D3 hockey.

Rochester Jr. Americans‘ 2nd year defenseman Alex Zakrzewski(4) had 3 goals and 19 assists in 53 NAHL games with a +17 rating, which wasn’t quite as good scoring as he did in his 1st appearance, but he takes good junior numbers to his 2025/2026 commit at SUNY-Cortland Red Dragons.

The 5’8″ 157 lbs. blue liner from Orchard Park, NY never went far for his youth hockey or juniors and won’t be heading too far off course to go to college for the 21-year old.

Skidmore College Thoroughbreds‘ junior center Kaedon Patrick(14) has a team best 9 goals, 8 assists and 17 points at this early mark in 2023/2024.

The 6’1″ 185 lbs. forward has twice got 10+ goals and very close in the assist marks as well.

We’re thinking he sets up college career highs this season.

The undrafted 23-year old from Vancouver, BC plays a power forward style all the way.

He had 1 BCHL season before committing.

He doesn’t have quite as productive scoring as a senior, but takes it to a 1st pro contract in France2 with Chambry, which should go well for him.
