Even after moving on from Bemidji State, former captain Jackson Jutting continues to prove he's a force on the ice. The 2025 graduate just earned a major professional honor, being named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team for the 2025-26 season.

This prestigious recognition, voted on by league coaches, broadcasters, and media, highlights the top first-year players across the league. Jutting earned his spot with a standout performance for the Kansas City Mavericks, where he led all ECHL rookies with 30 goals and finished second in total points with 59. His clutch play was undeniable, netting an impressive 11 game-winning goals.

His rookie success has already opened doors at the next level, with Jutting getting a four-game stint with the AHL's Grand Rapids Griffins, the top affiliate of the Detroit Red Wings. This path is a familiar one for ECHL All-Rookie Team members, as over 20 past selections have gone on to skate in the NHL, a testament to the league's role in developing future talent.

Jutting's journey from college captain to professional standout is a powerful reminder of where hard work and dedication can lead. It's the kind of relentless effort we champion, both on the ice and in the gear designed to support every play.
