New Jersey Titans‘ 1st NAHL year defenseman Jake Geraci(5) takes his game to a 2024/2025 Wesleyan University Cardinals‘ commit.
He did maybe a bit more an offense productive season previous in the AJHL, but also played significantly more games and was definitely more active in his 1st year with P.A.L. Jr. Islanders of the USPHL/NCDC, which is a little confusing as to why he didn’t stay or continue with another team in the league.
The 6’1″ 194 lbs. blue liner should be able to help secure his team’s zone.
Rhode Island HC 2nd year EHL defenseman Ian Wolanin(25) will take his game to St. Michael’s College Purple Knights for a 2024/2025 commit.
The big 6’2″ 196 lbs. blue liner was not a big scorer in juniors, but could strike for more in NE-10 action.
From Pomfret, CT, the 20-year old is l00ks ready for the next step.

The 6’ 174 lbs. Yardley, PA native had college best scoring as a sophomore with 21 goals and 18 assists, but left 2023/2024 with a +32 rating and more than point-per-game numbers for a 3rd time.
He has always been a scorer and the 23-year old will continue that through his senior campaign no doubt
Railers Jr. Hockey 1st year left wing Jake Kloss(4) takes an impressive EHL season to a 2024/2025 Wilkes University Colonels‘ commit.

From Hershey, PA, he started high school at home, but transfered to Canterbury School USHS-Prep.
He should fit in nicely to this UCHC club.
Western New England University Golden Bears‘ 2nd year, senior right wing Tanner Coleman(64) looks like he should score goals out there, but is smitten.
Through 7 games this season, the 5’10” 170 lbs. forward has no points.
In 23 games last frame he had 1 goal and 1 assist.
He transferred for his junior year after 1 session of under-use at Rivier University Raiders and before it went to the ill-fated Becker College Hawks.
The 24-year old from Oswego, NY played 1 frame of junior hockey with Boston Jr. Rangers of the EHL, but only came away with 1 goal and 3 assists there.

Trinity College Bantams‘ sophomore goaltender Devon Bobak(39) scores 2024 Joe Concannon Award as best D3 player in New England for his spectacular efforts stopping what was a good 24-3-1 record, but 1.20 GAA is mind-blowing with .940 SV%.
He then days later adds the 2023/2024 Sid Watson Award, given to the top voted Division III player.
The very large 6’4″ 190 lbs. net minder from Northwood, OH started slowly from playing youth hockey with Toledo Cherokee up to their USPHL Premier team before leaving for Compuware 18U, where his game would develop and he would move up to Twin City Thunder.
We think it was maybe his playoff performance that caught the eye of Shreveport Mud Bugs, who signed him and watched him embark on an NAHL 27-11-4 record with a 2.09 GAA and .921 SV%.
It would be fire-able if NHL scouts didn’t have this one on their radar for a development camp invite and D1 teams should be leaning in, asking questions.
We wait, we watch as he looks to win a title 1st.
