Connecticut Chiefs‘ 1st year Russian-born EHL goaltender Artur Dzhilavyan(40) will next take his game to the new program at Keene State University Owls for 2024/2025.

The 6′ 174 lbs net minder did all of his youth hockey and some junior in his hometown and didn’t really arrived here until this season.

Also, because his birth nation is listed as Israel, it’s opened him up to some international competitions.

We think from watching him this past frame, he will help his new college team win games.

Express Hockey Club 2nd year left wing Gavin Simopoulos(23) commits to University Of Southern Maine Huskies for 2024/2025.

The 6′ 209 lbs. plays a power forward style and has popped for 20 goals and 41 assists in 46 EHL games.

He had actually played himself up from 2 USPHL Premier sessions for Twin City Thunder to 19 games in the USPHL/NCDC, but decided to move on after 1 goal and 3 assists.

The 20-year old from Hamilton, ON is likely going to find room to score big in the NEHC.

Plymouth State University Panthers‘ senior captain center Jeromey Rancourt(88) signs a 1st pro deal with Port Huron  Prowlers and already has an assist in his FPHL debut, a 6-5 win.

The 5’11” 190 lbs. forward was a bit schizophrenic on the statsheet through school, scoring 12 goals as a sophomore and 12 assists in his junior frame.

He had 12 points through a college best 28 games last season with a +3 rating.

From Lewiston, ME, the 25-year old is likely pretty grateful for the opportunity.

Railers Jr. Hockey goaltender Adam Casper(30) posted a shutout to take a 1st ever 2024 EHL Championship for the young team.

The 5’10” 160 lbs. net minder posted a 20-4-0 records with a 1.66 GAA, .932 SV% and 5 shutouts in his 2nd season in the league.

He had only 4 losses last season too.

From Skaneateles, NY, he was quite amazing as he went along at high school.

The 20-year old commits to sort of close by home SUNY Geneseo Knights.

 

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.

East Coast Wizards‘ 1st EHL year right wing Aidan O’Connell(21) takes some impressive scoring numbers, 21 goals and 22 assists in 31 games to a Stevenson University Mustangs 2024/2025 commit.

The 6’1″ 194 lbs. forward actually transferred in from starting 9 USPHL/NCDC games with Jr. Bruins, scoring 1 goal and 2 assists.

From Wilmington, MA, the 20-year old is leaving home to play hockey for a 1st time and easily should excel at this school.
