Two key members of UMass' 2021 national championship team won't be back in Amherst next season to help the Minutemen defend their NCAA and Hockey East titles.
Sophomore defenseman Zac Jones has signed an entry-level contract with the New York Rangers. The native of Glen Allen, Va. led all UMass defenseman this past year with nine goals and 15 assists for 24 points, and in two seasons with the Minutemen posted 12-35—47 points in 61 appearances. He was chosen 68th overall by New York in the 2019 NHL Draft.
Senior and second-leading UMass scorer Oliver Chau is taking his talents to Quinnipiac University as a graduate transfer after four years with the Minutemen. The Oakville, Ont. product finished second in UMass overall scoring this season with 5-22—27 points, setting a personal career-high for points in one campaign, and registered 28-56—84 points in 135 outings overall.
