Meet the player: Alex Bump- Left Wing

The Flyers stacked themselves with American Born players in this draft. Taking the big left winger from Prior Lake, MN. Had just graduated from high school in 2022, Bump is certainly years away from being NHL ready.

Bump will play Division I hockey at the University of Vermont, but he's not expected to start there until the 2023-24 school year. Bump will play next year in the United States Hockey League with the Omaha Lancers.

Last season, Bump finished with six goals and 11 assists in 27 games for the Lancers between his senior year with Prior Lake.

The 6"0 left winger had a huge final season at Prior Lake, leading the team to its first-ever state tournament berth. In just 31 games, Bump set single season records for the Lakers in total points (83), goals scored (48) and assists (35). Kid certainly shows promise.

Eliteprospects.com had this to say about Alex Bump going into the draft. "Without any tell, he fluidly dekes through defenders along the perimeter to gain the zone. A textbook curl-and-drag wrister beats the defender and changes the angle in one motion. He's also a skilled two-touch and catch-and-release shooter"
