Western Michigan has landed one of the top forwards and top defensemen in the transfer portal, according to multiple sources. The Broncos, who are headed to the Frozen Four next week, are also the favorite to land another top forward in the portal.

Also in today’s issue (#554)

• A full transfer portal update, with 14 new entries, including three NHL draft picks.

• Seven new portal commitments, including players to Western Michigan, Ohio State, Merrimack, Maine, Arizona State, and Cornell.

• Notes on potential landing spots for key players.

• The Grand Forks Herald had details on Dane Jackson’s contract structure at North Dakota.

• I’m told there could be a good number of USport to NCAA transfers this offseason, especially USport freshmen who were star players in the CHL during the 2023-24 season.
