May 10, 2024

ST CLOUD, Minn.—   Forward Michael Coleman made his verbal commitment to play NCAA Division I hockey at the University of Massachusetts last Wednesday (May 8).

In the NAHL, Coleman  recorded 25 goals and 25 assists in a season where STC fell short of the North American Hockey League Playoffs.

Coleman will be joining fellow teammate and Mr Hockey Finalist, Rhys Wallin (Wayzata, Minn./Wayzata H.S.). Wallin spent a short stint in the NAHL recording two goals in five games after concluding his high school hockey season.

The two freshmen are excited make an impact for Greg Carvel’s Minuteman squad.

In 2024, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst Minuteman finished with a 20-14-3 overall record and a 12-10-2 conference record (Hockey East). 

The Minuteman would advance to the NCAA Northeast Region in Springfield, Mass. UMass then fell to the eventual national champion (Denver Pioneers).

Next season, the team will open regular season action on October 5, as they face a road test against Bentley University. The team will return home to host the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) for an exhibition matchup on Oct. 6 at the Mullins Center.
