Senior forward Antonio Venuto, who led the Bulldogs in scoring in the 2023-24 season, committed to Merrimack College on Saturday, March 30.
Venuto, a Hobey Baker finalist this past season, had 12 goals and 14 points for Ferris in 36 games. The Whitmore Lake, MI native joined the Bulldogs in the 2020-21 season. Since then, the senior forward racked up 23 goals and 31 assists for 54 points in 121 outings.
Venuto’s departure comes as no surprise, as head coach Bob Daniels told the Torch on March 20 that the 6’3 forward had entered the transfer portal alongside senior goaltender Logan Stein. Senior netminder Noah Giesbrecht, forward Austin McCarthy and defenseman Ben Schultheis are also in the transfer portal without any commitments as of April 1.
The Merrimack College Warriors are a DI program located in North Andover, MA. The Warriors posted a 13-21-1 record in 2023-24, which included a 6-17-1 finish in the Hockey East conference.
