(Photo: Jeff Curry, Imagn Images) Top Philadelphia Flyers [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers] prospect Alex Bump is an NCAA champion after Western Michigan University defeated Boston University 6-2 in the Frozen Four championship Saturday night. Bump, 21, did not record any points in the contest, but had a plus-2 plus-minus rating and recorded three shots on goal. Winger Owen Michaels struck twice [https://www.ncaa.com/game/6384837/boxscore] for Western Michigan, while Cole Crusberg-Roseen, Iiro Hakkarainen, Ty Henricks, and Wyatt Schingoethe rounded out the scoring in the plastering. Prospect Devin Kaplan, a 2022 third-round pick and potential future teammate of Bump's, represented the Flyers with an assist on Cole Eiserman's first-period goal for Boston. Kaplan, 21, also added one shot on goal, a penalty, and a minus-1 rating to the stat sheet. Defenseman Jack Page, who was at the Flyers' most recent development camp, featured on Boston's third defense pair, posting a minus-1 rating. After his latest triumph, all eyes now turn to Bump, who is expected to turn pro and sign his entry-level contract with the Flyers in the coming weeks. If this is it for Bump at the NCAA level, the Flyers' 2022 fifth-round pick finishes his collegiate career with 37 goals, 46 assists, and 83 points in 79 games, including a remarkable 47 points in 41 games this season. Other players who could potentially opt to turn pro following the Frozen Four championship include Quinn Hutson [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/philadelphia-flyers/latest-news/philadelphia-flyers-should-sign-lane-hutsons-older-brother], Shane Lachance, Gavin McCarthy, Kaplan, Tim Washe, and Tom Willander.
