Calgary Flames collegiate prospect Josh Nodler is transferring from Michigan State University to the University of Massachusetts for the 2021–22 season, according to UMass sports reporter Nathan Strauss.
Nodler spent the first three years of his NCAA career with the MSU Spartans, racking up 13 goals and 34 points in 99 games. The Spartans compiled a 34–60–5 record over that span.
The Flames originally selected Nodler in the fifth round (150th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft. He immediately left the USHL’s Fargo Force for the Spartans for his draft-plus-one season and emerged as one of the top offensive players on an inert MSU team in his sophomore year.
