Former Nobles star center Casey Severo officially has committed to playing college hockey at Harvard. NEHJ first reported the likely commitment back on Aug. 11.
Severo, an ’01 from Pittsford, N.Y., is expected to play the 2020-21 season with the Waterloo Black Hawks in the USHL before matriculating to Harvard for 2021-22. The Crimson are getting a smart, 200-foot center who excels on draws and in doing a lot of the little things away from the puck.
In 27 games with Nobles during the 2019-20 season, Severo scored 27 goals and 25 assists for 52 points. He registered 28 and 39 points in his first two seasons at the Dedham, Mass., prep school. The Buffalo Junior Sabres product previously was committed to Merrimack.
Another former Merrimack commit picks Bowling Green
Goaltender Christian Stoever has committed to Bowling Green. The ’00 from Northville, Mich., posted a .904 save percentage in 11 games with Des Moines and a .914 save percentage in 26 games with Madison during the 2019-20 season.
Stoever is now with the Muskegon Lumberjacks, his fifth USHL organization. He briefly attended Merrimack during the summer of 2019 before going back to junior hockey. He’ll play the upcoming season in junior before heading to BGSU for 2021-22.
Vermont adds SJHL center
Vermont landed a commitment from Humboldt Broncos ’03 center Karter McNarland, it was announced Tuesday. It’s another solid new recruit for first-year head coach Todd Woodcroft and assistant coaches Jeff Hill and Stephen Wiedler.
McNarland is entering his second season of junior hockey in the SJHL. In 2019-20, the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, native scored 11 goals and 41 assists in 61 games for the Broncos. Prior to junior, he played Midget hockey with the Saskatoon Generals and Saskatoon Contacts.
While I’ve never seen him play, putting up close to a point per game in any junior league is impressive for such a young player. He’s on the affiliate list of the USHL’s Sioux Falls Stampede.
