Flames have only 4 prospects playing in the NCAA this season.
Littler and Hoskin are making their college debuts as 20 year olds.
Suniev may have the best chance of making it to the NHL our of the 4. Many Flames fans will be watching Hoskin hoping to see what the Flames saw when they surprised many draft pundits and made the CJHL player of the year a 4th round pick.
According to capwages, Boltmann technically belongs to the Flames until Aug 15, 2024. However, given that he transferred to Northeastern to begin a Masters degree suggests that the Flames did not make a NHL offer to him after his senior year and there does not appear to much pro interest in the defenseman either.
Err do they still own the rights to Koumontzis? Does it even matter? Might be a who cares after the 24 year old put up 19pts in 47 ECHL games in his first pro season.

Niagara University play in the Atlantic Hockey America conference, not exactly a top circuit. I can see Hoskin transferring on to a more competitive conference if he has a big year.

UMass played two games this weekend. Game 1 was a regular season victory; Oddly, game 2 was an exhibition game, which they lost, but it doesn't count against their record. UMass is still ranked #14. They play in the Ice Breaker Tournament next weekend from Las Vegas. Game 1 will be against #15 Omaha; game two will be against either #5 Minnesota or Air Force.
#5 UND lost to unranked Augustana, but it too was an exhibition game. Interestingly, it was UNDs first exhibition loss in 28 years. They fell in the rankings to #6. They start the season against #13 Providence on Saturday
Niagara's loss to Ohio State was also an exhibition game. They play Clarkson for real on Friday, then St. Lawrence on Saturday; both games will be on ESPN+ for those who subscribe
Both Penn State victories were regular season games that count in the standings. Penn is now ranked #24, moved up three spots. They play #8 Quinnipiac next weekend, also on ESPN+
