The NAHL’s Lone Star Brahmas have announced that forward Ivan Zadvernyuk has committed to play NCAA Division I hockey for Brown University (ECAC Hockey).

Zadvernyuk, 19, is serving as an alternate captain this season, which is his second in the NAHL with the Brahmas. The native of Moskva, Russia, has provided a steady presence on the ice and a force to be reckoned with at the faceoff dot.

“As for myself and assistant coach Logan Murphy, we couldn’t be happier that he has made this announcement because he works hard and this is the best kind of news we can deliver to hockey fans,” said Brahmas head coach and general manager Dan Wildfong. “We appreciate everything he does for the team. Congratulations to Ivan.”

So far during the 2023-24 season, Zadvernyuk is third in team scoring with 20 points (six goals, 14 assists) in 23 games.

He was named the South Division Star of the Week on Nov. 6 after he recorded three goals in a two-game road series in El Paso.

During the 2023-23 season, Zadvernyuk recorded 22 points in 57 games.

Prior to playing in the NAHL, Zadvernyuk spent one season with the Los Angeles Jr. Kings.
