UML Recruiting: Finally in the 20s!

[boblav1]

The season is over for Jonathan Horn and Lee Parks as Vernon was eliminated from the BCHL playoffs. Parks led his team in scoring in the playoffs and in the regular season.

NZ was at the final game of the series and had this to say about his play. I assume he'll play another year of juniors.

Parks is a clearly skilled offensive winger. Has a remarkably accurate shot to go along with some magic hands. Could be better defensively but his game is based on his acute sense of what is happening on the ice in the offensive zone. All-in-all a deadly player who possesses good size elite-level skill and smooth skating. Scored a nice and important goal tonight on a breakaway showcasing his speed and hands in tight on the goalie. With a little flick of the wrist, Parks had the goalie fooled and was able to go forehand backhand shelf for the opening goal of the night.

Hearing Latvia might be the new Sweden for Lowell. Patriks Marcinkevics may be in play for Lowell. LIU player that is in the portal. Whether it comes to fruition, unsure. Just passing what I hear

Marcinkevics is heading to Michigan Tech.

Multiple BU and Michigan players have entered the portal today.

The NAHL is coming to New Hampshire.
Hooksett, New Hampshire to be home of junior hockey league team (wmur.com)

I noticed Bentley's leading scorer is in the portal, Nicholas Niemo, he led the Falcons in scoring as a freshman (8-14-22).

Niemo and teammate, Harrison Scott, are heading to Maine.

121 games played for Peterson at Holy Cross, with 18 goals and 55 points. And as already pointed out, 25 years old (today actually). If Lowell makes a deep run next year into the NCAA Tournament, he will be 26 years old, potentially playing against 19 year old kids. Yikes.

Alex Peterson to Lowell via the portal. 25 YO forward from Holy Cross w/ 19 points last season. Looks like he wore an A as well.

I mean no disrespect to the kid but it’s a bit underwhelming for our first (hopefully) portal acquisition.

I hope he makes me eat crow next year.

Looks like backup Edvard Nordlund is in the portal. Best of luck to him

[UMLFan]

Can't blame him for looking for more ice time. The best of luck to him.

I thought he looked good this year when he played. But injuries kept him out, and I think Bazin also sat him a bit.

Nik Armstrong-Kingkade appears to have entered the transfer portal.

Honestly, I'd be surprised. Personally, I think he wasn't as good this year as last and he's not exactly a big guy.

I agree this was a down year for him. However he is the most polished skater on the team and has a gasoline shot. Hope he stays!
