Power forward Lucas Romeo brings his size and grit to RIT. NHL interest follows him from the QMJHL to RIT
After four solid seasons in the QMJHL, Lucas Romeo has decided on his collegiate destination. The age out forward is taking his talents to the Rochester Institute of Technology Tigers (RIT) this fall. Romeo split his major junior career between the Charlottetown Islanders and Cape Breton Eagles.
He has seen significant interest from NHL teams, attending the 2023 Tom Kurvers Prospect Showcase, Boston Bruins Rookie Camps in 2024 and 2025 as well as 2025 Colorado Avalanche Development Camp.
Coming in at 6 foot 3 and over 200 pounds, Romeo utilizes his looming frame and long reach to play a balanced power forward style. Through the past two seasons in Cape Breton, Romeo finished second and first in penalty minutes.
Given Atlantic Hockey America's more rugged pace, Romeo should fit right in for the Tigers.
