Broz has had quite the glow up at the University of Denver, scoring two overtime goals en route to a national title.
From the team:
Broz, 21, will join the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the American Hockey League for the remainder of the season on an ATO.
Broz, who recently won the 2024 National Championship with the University of Denver, was the Penguins’ second-round (58th overall) pick of the 2021 NHL Draft.
The 6-foot, 190-pound forward is coming off his second season with the University of Denver, setting career highs across the board with 16 goals, 24 assists and 40 points in 43 games. His 16 goals were tied for the third most on the Pioneers, while his 40 points were the fourth most. Broz helped Denver to their NCAA-record 10th National Championship with two overtime goals in the men’s hockey tournament against the University of Massachusetts and Boston University, resulting in being named to the All-Tournament Team.
The Bloomington, Minnesota native played in three collegiate seasons with the University of Minnesota (2021-22) and University of Denver (2022-24), tallying 32 goals, 47 assists, 79 points and a plus-42 in 119 career games.
