Plymouth State University Panthers‘ senior center Myles Abbate(7) does what everyone expected the 2-time MASCAC Player Of The Year to do, signs a 1st pro deal with decently close by Worcester Railers for 2023/2024.

In the 5’10” 170 lbs. forward’s final college frame he had a best 24 assists, missed his goals by 2 and points by 1 at 39 instead of 40, but had a massive combined +36 rating.

The 23-year old from Norwell, MA played no junior hockey, heading from Proctor Academy USHS-Prep straight to college.

New Hampshire Avalanche 2nd year defenseman Ryan Dann(2) makes an early commit to Wilkes University Colonels for 2025/2026.

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.

Augustus Magnus College Falcons‘ senior defenseman Charlie Risk(44) will take his game to France2 and signs with Mont Blanc for 2023/2024.

He did all of his previous junior play and youth hockey back home in a few pretty famous systems.

The 24-year old is likely pretty happy how things turned out, switching schools.
