Devine helped the Pioneers become the NCAA's 2024 Frozen Four Champions
One of the Florida Panthers top prospects is going to wait another year before turning pro.
University of Denver forward Jack Devine is returning to the Pioneers for his senior season following a standout junior year.
Devine led Denver in goals and points, finishing with 27 goals and 56 points, while helping UD win the 2024 Frozen Four Championship.
Now the 20-year-old Glencoe, Illinois native is running it back in hopes that the Pioneers can defend their National Championship.
In a recent interview with The Hockey News’ Mathieu Sheridan, Devine explained the thought process behind coming back for one more year.
"I think it starts with one thing, going back-to-back,” Devine said. “That’s the goal from the get-go. I think for me, almost no one has been able to win three national championships in four years so being able to cement myself in the Denver history books, same as a guy like Matty Davis, Connor Caponi, that would be pretty special."

Florida selected Devine in the seventh round, 221st overall, at the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
