“James is a tough, two-way forward with great character,” Carvel said. “He plays in line with our identity and will bring great leadership qualities to UMass. He spent the past two seasons in the USHL where he made a big impact on the ice and in the locker room. We look forward to watching James continue to develop and make a big impact on the UMass program.”
