An upcoming issue of The Hockey News will feature a profile on Massachusetts freshman goaltender Tobias Trejbal, who made history as the first netminder selected in the 2026 NHL Draft. The Calgary Flames chose Trejbal with the 42nd overall pick.
Trejbal assumes the starting role vacated by Michael Hrabal, the Utah Hockey Club prospect who signed a professional contract this spring. The transition carries a personal connection: the two goaltenders are friends, and Hrabal provided Trejbal with insight into the UMass program before his arrival.
