UMASS Minutemen freshman center Nicholas Van Tassell(22) is an Ottawa Senators‘ 7th round pick in the 2023 draft (#215 overall).

The big 6’5″ 215 lbs. forward scored pretty well in his 2nd USHL season for Green Bay Gamblers.

He only got 1 goal and 1 assist in 23 games, but definitely appears on the verge of opening that up with more experience.

From Basking Ridge, NJ, the 19-year old did all his youth hockey close to home.

In his junior year, he twice puts up 2 goals and adds 10 assists, but maybe wants to seek out something else for his senior frame and signs up with Hockey East foe, University Of New Hampshire Wildcats as a senior in 2026/2027.
