According to this article UMass is one of the schools courting 6’4″ defenseman Logan Roe from Ft Meyers, Florida. Roe spent last season playing for the Kent School in the prep league and is ranked as the 140th North American skater for this weekend’s draft. Per the article Roe has also taken visits to Northeastern, Providence, Union, Quinnipiac, and Brown. Roe was named to the Prep League’s All-New England team this past year joining UMass recruits Mike Pereira, and Conor Sheary.
UMass has had success with recruiting players from Florida before….kinda. Ex-Minuteman David Boehm played for the Junior Everblades as well.

Speaking of Pereira, here are a couple more stories on him on the eve of the draft. First is a short profile thanks to ESPNBoston, Hockey Journal labels him as a clutch player in this piece on New England players in the draft, and finally a nice feature on him from the Middletown Press.
