In last week’s post I reported that defenseman Justin Dixson signed his National Letter of Intent to play at the University of Massachusetts. I’ve also learned that defensemen Jake Massie and Cale Makar signed their NLIs during the early signing period which ended last week. The signings help assure that coach John Micheletto and his staff are set at the blueline for years to come.

Recruit Update ▲ Dixson Signs His National Letter Of Intent
Time to see how the recruits are doing. Last Wednesday marked the beginning of the early signing period. Justin Dixson is the only recruit who has been publicly reported as signing his NLI. UMass typically doesn’t announce them as they get them, but will do so with a taped scouting report from coach John Micheletto in the future. A reader was also kind enough to point out that Shane Bear had previously signed his NLI, so I’ve made that correction below. Today is the last day of the early signing period.

Recruit Update: Chukarov Named To All-NAHL Team
The USHL, the premier junior hockey league in the United States, held its draft the last two days and a few future Minutemen were selected. Yesterday was the Phase I draft for just 1999 birth years. Brian Scoville, due at UMass in 2018, was taken in the 7th Round (105th overall) by the Sioux Falls Stampede. In today’s Phase II draft for all draft eligible age groups a couple recruits were picked early by the Omaha Lancers. First was Nick Jenny (2017) was taken in the 1st round (11th overall) and then the Lancers took Jake Massie (2016) in the 2nd round (27th overall). Later in the draft Justin Dixson (2017) was taken by the Tri-City Storm in the 8th round (129th overall).
Now onto the regular updates, with news about Austin Plevy, Nic Renyard, Ivan Chukarov, Justin Dixson, and John Leonard.

Support FTT
Fear The Triangle will always be free. But there is some investment associated with providing first-hand coverage of UMass hockey. Specifically, domain hosting, travel, game streams, and ticket costs all add up. Not to mention the hours spent every day reading and writing about UMass hockey. I'll continue to do this for the foreseeable future even if it runs me into financial ruin (it won't, I think) and my wife divorces me (hopefully just as unlikely). But if you enjoy what you read here and want to show your support, here is a link to contribute to FTT via PayPal.
