Hunter Andrew (Virden, Man.), Stefanio Bottini (Lugano, Switzerland), Christian MacDougall (Toronto, Ontario) and Oliver Tarr (Uxbridge, Ontario) are stated to join the Canisius program as freshmen for the 2022-23 campaign.

"We are excited to add players who make our program better both on and off the ice," Large said. "Seven transfers and four new freshmen will join our returning guys to build on the momentum of the 2021-22 season. The experience each of these players gained, either at their previous NCAA school or in junior hockey, allows them to be contributors to our environment and our on-ice product.
