Dawgs Game Notes vs. Ice Bears
Additionally, the Dawgs made one transaction on Friday. The team has activated forward Noah Finstrom from the 14-day injured reserve, and the winger made the trip to Tennessee with the team.
Finstrom joined the Dawgs in a trade with Knoxville back on November 13, having played for both Huntsville and Knoxville as a rookie in the 2024-25 campaign. The five-foot-ten forward has two goals, two assists, and a plus-three rating through his first 14 combined games for Roanoke and Knoxville this year, and combined for nine goals, 16 assists, 13 penalty minutes, and a plus-seven rating in 49 games between the Ice Bears and Havoc last season. Before starting his professional career, the New Baltimore, Michigan native played three years at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (NCAA-DIII) after playing his freshman season at the University of Alabama-Huntsville (NCAA-DI). After scoring one goal in 18 games as a freshman at UA-Huntsville, Finstrom found his stride for the Pointers in his last three seasons of college hockey. In three seasons at UW-Stevens Point, the 26-year-old notched 25 goals, 27 assists, 20 penalty minutes, and a plus-nine rating in 69 career games, helping the team to two WIAC conference titles. Before his collegiate career, Finstrom played junior hockey primarily in the NAHL, tallying 78 points and a plus-13 rating in 139 games with the Philadelphia/Jamestown Rebels.
