Rookie, Swedish-born defenseman Sebastian Miedema(29) leaves 20 SPHL games for Knoxville Ice Bears to skate with Les Aigles de Nice of Ligue Magnus for the remainder of the season.

The 6’1″ 194 lbs. blue liner did his junior year at Nichols College Bison after transferring from 2 at Lake Superior State University Lakers.

He played a college best 23 games, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists with a +8 rating.

The 24-year old did all of his youth hockey and some junior hockey at home, before coming over for a single USHL run.

We think he does well for his new French hockey team.

 

Johnson & Wales University Wildcats‘ sophomore transfer left wing Connor Nelson(19) has a college best 3 assists and 6 points and needs just 1 more goal to equal his mark from his freshman season at University Of Dubuque Spartans.

The 5’8″ 170 lbs. forward was a phenomenal scorer through 2 USPHL Premier seasons for Tampa Bay Juniors, twice producing point-per-game numbers through a frame.

From Woodbury, MN, he also scored well in high school.

The 22-year old seems to continue to position himself for better numbers as he goes.

Brown University Bears‘ 2024/2025 commit, defenseman Bryceon Lago(16) was scouted at the start of his senior year up from his home base of Miami, FL to NJ for school and better hockey footing.

The small-ish 5’9″, but quick 152 lbs. blue liner went on for 1 season of NAHL juniors, splitting time, but ultimately ending up with Northeast Generals, where he had 8 assists in 21 games.

Although he may not have the most size going for his game, the 19-year old is a smart, thinks well on the ice with the puck player.

We are not entirely sure what occurred, but instead of heading to the Ivy League school, he ultimately decides on Tufts University Jumbos, where in 12 games, he has a 1st D3 goal and 2 assists.

New Jersey Bears‘ 1st year left wing Owen House(24) has an among the league best 29 assists and 16 goals in 45 games this season.

The 6’2″ 192 lbs. forward commits to Wilkes University Colonels for 2025/2026.

He bounced around junior leagues for 2 seasons before arriving at the EHL, where he’s found his best success.

From Plymouth, MN, the 20-year old will definitely help his new college team win games.
