Brookings Blizzards forward Griff Jeszka is the first new recruit of the Greg Carvel era at the University of Massachusetts. The '95 is a left-shot who played the past three seasons in the North American Hockey League (NAHL).

"I am very excited and humbled to have the opportunity to play for Coach Carvel and his staff at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I want to thank the community of Brookings and the Brookings Blizzard organization, all of my coaches, teammates, family, and friends for helping me reach my goals," Jeszka said in the team's press release.
