Luke Puchner Commits To Minnesota Duluth
Shattuck St. Mary's 18U Prep forward Luke Puchner has committed to Minnesota Duluth, it was reported earlier this week.
Puchner, a product of New Germany, Minn., has spent the entire season at Shattuck St. Mary's where he has collected 16 goals and 21 assists for 37 points in 43 games.
Drafted by the Lincoln Stars in the seventh round of the 2024 USHL Futures Draft, Puchner spent his draft year last season playing for Shattuck's 16U team. In 56 games, he scored 17 goals and added 23 assists for 40 points.
Prior to moving over to play at Shattuck's, Puchner played his minor hockey for the MN Lakers.
As Puchner gets set to join the Bulldogs in 2027, he will likely make the jump to the USHL next season. As someone who has proven to be dangerous with the puck, he has the talents needed to make the transition to the junior game and eventually the NCAA.
