Fredric Pinel – NCDC Tender to Connecticut Jr Rangers
Fredric, or ‘Freddy’ as we affectionately call him, joined our team as a player seeking a new home after attending an academy. He was the player every team needs for success: respectful, tenacious, and always battling hard, especially in front of the nets. A true team player, Freddy led by example and inspired all who played with him. We wish him the very best in his career
Loic Gosslin – NCDC Tender to Utica Jr Comets
Loic was a standout defenseman who brought versatility and dedication to the team. From his commanding presence on the power play to his crucial role in penalty kills, Loic proved he was more than just a player; he was a vital component to our success. His commitment to improving his foot speed is a testament to his relentless drive. We look forward to seeing his hard work pay off
Ludovic Martel – Tender to Utica Jr Comets
Ludovic’s seamless transition into junior hockey made a strong impression on us early on. A skilled skater and scorer, Ludovic brought a physicality to the game that every coach values. We have no doubt that he will continue to excel in Utica next season
Trystan Felix-Tremblay – Tender to Ogden Mustangs
Trystan joined our team late in the season but made an immediate impact as a forward. His high-level game sense, physicality, scoring ability, and understanding of the power play set him apart. We’re certain that Trystan’s unique blend of skills and physical gifts will pave his way to continued success
Antoine Tourigny – Tender to Connecticut Jr Rangers
Antoine joined our team in my first year of coaching, and his commitment never wavered. He dedicated himself to improving his shooting skills and eagerly sought feedback through video analysis after each game. It’s truly rewarding to see a player like Antoine get the recognition he deserves
Andrew Belleheumer – Tender to Connecticut Jr Rangers
Andrew transitioned from academy hockey to the Thunderbirds seamlessly. His dedication to improving his game was evident in his power play and penalty killing roles, and his ability to perform in high-pressure situations. His all-around defensive prowess and gritty, hard-nosed style of play set him apart, proving that size doesn’t always matter on the ice
Vincent St-Aubin – Tender to Provo Predators
Vincent is an extraordinary asset to any team. He is one of the most skilled players I’ve ever had the privilege to coach. His calm, smooth style of play and his prowess as a skater make him a formidable opponent and a one-man breakout force
Samuel Dumont – Tender to Provo Predators
Sam’s skills on the ice are unparalleled. His speed and agility are tier-2/tier-1 worthy. What I admire most about Sam is his adaptability. Starting the season as a ‘pure’ skill player, he transformed his game by the season’s end, doing whatever was necessary for the team’s success. We are incredibly proud of his development and am excited for his future in the sport
