Early Look at 2026 UNH Freshman Class
Zebeski, Von Richter and Koch have also built impressive resumes during their CHL seasons. Zebeski and Von Richter are slated to be in UNH's 2026 freshman class. Koch may join them.
Niko Tournas (RW) was just ranked the 81st North American Skater for the 2026 NHL Draft. NHL Central Scouting listed him as a potential 3rd Round pick in the draft. Tournas has signed an NCAA Financial Aid Agreement and is on track to join the 2026 UNH freshman class.
Whether other UNH commits (e.g., "2026 or 27 Commits") join the 2026-27 roster depends on a variety of factors. For example, there could be one or more uncommitted junior players under consideration. Also, current NCAA players who enter the transfer portal could end up committing to UNH for 2026-27. The portal will be open to new players from April 13 to 27.

Statistics for the commits, presented in the above table, are categorized by the projected year they will enroll in UNH. For example, I project the "2026 Freshman Class" will begin playing for UNH in the Fall of 2026.
My projections are based on the following factors:
~ Number of UNH players leaving the team at the end of the previous season and the position they played.
~ Number of incoming transfer players and the position they play.
~ The commit's performance in recent seasons as well as injuries.
~ Number of years in junior hockey and remaining years of junior eligibility.
~ Junior Leagues played in.
~ If a NCAA Financial Aid Agreement has been signed.
