Stars Sign Justin Hryckowian To Entry-Level Deal

March 20, 2024 at 3:58 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 5 Comments

The Stars have signed undrafted free agent center Justin Hryckowian to a two-year, entry-level contract, per a team announcement. While the team did not disclose financial details, they did confirm the deal begins in the 2024-25 season. With his collegiate season over, Hryckowian could sign a tryout with their AHL affiliate in Texas down the stretch.

Hryckowian, 23, turns pro after a three-year collegiate career at Northeastern. The 5-foot-10, 194-lb center had a magnificent end to his season, recording six straight multi-point outings, but it wasn’t enough to keep his Huskies from getting eliminated at the hands of Boston University in the Hockey East playoffs.

Initially eligible for the 2019 NHL draft, Hryckowian was passed over out of high school and again after graduating to major junior hockey with the USHL’s Cedar Rapids RoughRiders and Sioux City Musketeers. That didn’t stop him from seamlessly transitioning to collegiate play during his freshman year at Northeastern in 2021-22, when he finished fourth on the team in scoring with 22 points in 27 games. He tallied well over a point per game over the following two years, bringing his career totals at Northeastern up to 35 goals and 101 points in 94 contests. He closed out his junior year with a team-leading 43 points and a +24 rating in 32 contests, including five goals and 13 points in the last six games of the season.

A two-way threat, Hryckowian won back-to-back Best Defensive Forward honors from the Hockey East conference and was a nominee for this year’s Hobey Baker Award, although he wasn’t named to the group of 10 finalists. The L’Île-Bizard, Québec, native now looks to make another smooth jump between levels and be a solid top-nine contributor to AHL Texas next year in hopes of earning an NHL recall before his ELC expires. He’ll be eligible for restricted free agency upon expiry in 2026.

    The Stars have too many C.. Can they let the Caps get Wyatt Johnson since that was originally their draft pick :)
