The 6’2″ 204 lbs. blue liner takes a college hockey best 3 goals and 14 assists for 17 points with a 2nd +12 rating in a frame to his new duty.
He definitely has the chance to put up assist points as he did in his 2nd and final year of USPHL/NCDC juniors for Connecticut Jr. Rangers, striking for 22 helpers.
The 25-year old from North Salem, NY will be an interesting watch.
He finishes up his rookie season with 6 assists in 35 games and a not so terrible -3 rating to earn himself a contract to return to Maine country for 2024/2025.
Tufts University Jumbos‘ 2024/2025 commit, defenseman Maddox Lizotte(25) is playing his only year of junior hockey with South Shore Kings after starting the season in the NAHL with Springfield Jr. Blues, but maybe he wanted to stick closer to home.
The Harvard, MA native has 3 goals and 5 assists through 30 USPHL/NCDC games in the current frame and would actually move on to Jersey Hitmen for the last 11 games and playoffs.

From Ridgefield, CT, the 20-year old is staying close to home.
Worcester State University Lancers‘ only graduate skater is left wing Brendan Ronan(28), who maybe added a 5th season at school after losing 2020/2021 to COVID restrictions.
In 3 D3 games, the 6’2″ 185 lbs. forward has 2 assists, which is still a little ways from his college career high marks set as a senior last year, 12 goals and 16 assists in 26 games, but he has time to get there.
From Saugus, MA, the 24-year old did 2 years with Northern Cyclones of the USPHL Premier after graduating from his local high school.

The big 6’5″ 229 lbs. blue liner didn’t play many college games, but went home 2 summers to play in the AIHL and would do ok.
He came over early for high school and skated 3 years junior hockey before heading to 2 years at Becker College Hawks, then the college went bust after COVID and he left for New England College Pilgrims.
We think the 24-year old does pretty well and maybe even plays himself up.

The 6’1″ 187 lbs. forward was a good scorer as a senior at Rice Memorial USHS Prep, then went to 1 USPHL Premier game for New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs, getting 2 assists and promoted to NCDC, but in 16 games wasn’t connecting.

The 5’11” 190 lbs. blue liner from Woodbridge, ON stayed close to play 4 OJHL junior seasons before heading to school.
At 25-years old, he’s likely ready for this next step.
12 games in with his new team, recording only 1 assist, another team wants him and Wichita Thunder have plans for him on their blue line.
He would only record another helper in 9 games with a -4, but they are seeing something and invite him back to wear a Thunder sweater for his rookie session, 2024/2025.
