According to the Union College Daily Gazette, Red Wings prospect Jack Adams has responded to his team opting out of ECAC conference play by choosing to transfer to another school:
It didn’t take long for members of the Union and RPI men’s ice hockey programs to start looking for new schools, now that both have canceled their 2020-21 seasons.
Union head coach Rick Bennett confirmed that star senior forward Jack Adams, a Detroit Red Wings draft pick, has entered the NCAA transfer portal.
It was reported last week that RPI’s star goalie, Owen Savory, had already put his name in the portal in anticipation of the lost season, and head coach Dave Smith confirmed that Savory had landed at UMass Lowell.
RPI announced on Monday that it was canceling, and Union followed suit on Tuesday, leaving ECAC Hockey with just four of 12 teams planning to play.
Adams, projected to be Union’s leading goal scorer this season, missed his junior year in 2019-20 after blowing out his knee during the Red Wings’ prospect development camp in the summer of 2019.
