Recruit Profile: Gavin Hodnett (Edmonton Oil Kings)

Source: Instagram via College Puck NXT

Gavin Hodnett — a forward from Winnipeg, Manitoba — announced his commitment to the University of Nebraska Omaha Hockey program on April 20, 2026. Hodnett is expected to join Omaha for the 2026-27 season.

Hodnett, a left-shot winger, comes to Omaha after a five-year career with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the Western Hockey League (WHL), where he developed into one of the most productive players in recent franchise history.

Originally selected 19th overall by Edmonton in the 2021 WHL Prospects Draft, Hodnett made his WHL debut as a 15-year-old during the Oil Kings’ 2021-22 championship season, appearing in five regular-season games and earning a WHL title ring that year. 

Over the next four seasons, Hodnett became a central piece of the Oil Kings’ lineup. He played 229 career regular-season games, recording 71 goals and 156 assists for 227 points. Those totals rank among the best in franchise history, including third all-time in assists and fifth in points. 

Hodnett’s offensive progression year-over-year:

2022-23: 43 points (12 goals, 31 assists) in 61 games

2023-24: 70 points (23 goals, 47 assists) in 61 games
2024-25: 62 points (24 goals, 38 assists) in 61 games
2025-26: 50 points (12 goals, 38 assists) in 41 games

His 70-point season in 2023-24 (1.15 points per game) came on a rebuilding Oil Kings team and highlighted his ability to generate offense even without a deep supporting cast. 

Hodnett served as captain of the Oil Kings for the past two seasons (2024-25 and 2025-26), a role that speaks to both his on-ice production and his leadership within the organization. 

“I think it was just… I felt a lot more comfortable… and that’s credit to the guys that we had in the room. I think I got to learn a lot of lessons… just learning how to be a leader away from the ice,” Hodnett said following the Oil Kings’ final game of the season.

Despite dealing with injuries during the 2025-26 season — including missing significant time early with a lower-body injury and later dealing with an upper-body injury before returning for the playoffs — Hodnett still finished with 50 points in 41 games and appeared in four postseason contests.

In those playoffs, he returned earlier than expected and made an impact both on and off the ice, emphasizing leadership even when not at full strength.

“I was ready to go… just tried to provide a spark for our team and be a leader for guys on the bench,” Hodnett said.

From a scouting perspective, Hodnett is viewed as a high-IQ, playmaking forward. The Elite Prospects 2024 NHL Draft Guide describes him as a player who thrives in transition with “instant middle-lane attacks, turbo-speed give-and-goes, and incisive east-west passes,” highlighting his ability to create offense through speed and vision. 

His strengths match up with what scouts have noted elsewhere — strong offensive instincts, smooth skating ability, and a reliable two-way game — though his size (5-foot-8, 160 pounds) has been cited as a factor in NHL draft projections.

Hodnett was ranked 223rd among North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting ahead of the 2024 NHL Draft. 

Prior to his WHL career, Hodnett developed in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL), including a standout 2021-22 season at the U18 level where he recorded 59 points (17 goals, 42 assists) in 35 games and led the league in assists. 

He also represented Canada White at the 2022 World U17 Hockey Challenge, posting six points in six games. (Source: EliteProspects)

During his WHL career, Hodnett earned several team honors, including Oil Kings MVP and Top Rookie (2022-23) and Unsung Hero (2024-25). 

Hodnett’s commitment also continues a familiar pipeline for Omaha. He played alongside current Maverick Marc Lajoie during the 2023-24 season in Edmonton, giving him an existing connection to the program. Current teammate Carter Sotheran will join him in Omaha this fall.

In announcing his commitment, Hodnett expressed both gratitude for his time in Edmonton and excitement for what’s next: “I’m extremely proud and excited to announce my commitment to the University of Nebraska Omaha… It was a huge honor to serve as Captain for the past two seasons… Excited for what’s ahead with the Mavericks!” 

What This Means for the Mavericks
Hodnett fits the mold of the type of player Coach Mike Gabinet has targeted in recent recruiting classes: skilled, competitive, and capable of playing a fast, transition-based game.

With nearly a point-per-game career in the WHL and a track record of leadership as a team captain, Hodnett brings both production and experience to the Mavericks’ forward group.

It’s early, but this addition looks like another example of Omaha continuing to tap into high-end Canadian junior talent — particularly players who combine hockey IQ with offensive upside.

Omaha Adds Defenseman Jayden Jubenvill via Transfer Portal

Omaha Hockey continues to shape its 2026-27 roster, adding defenseman Jayden Jubenvill from North Dakota Fighting Hawks via the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Jubenvill brings two years of experience in the National Collegiate Hockey Conference — and that matters. He’s played in this league against the same teams he will face every weekend at Baxter Arena.

Proven Freshman Impact in the NCHC
As a freshman in 2024-25, Jubenvill appeared in 37 games, recording two goals and four assists for six points. He led all UND rookie defensemen in scoring, ranked second on the team with a +8 rating, and blocked 43 shots — fourth-most on the roster.

He played regularly, handled defensive assignments, and showed he could hold his own in one of the toughest conferences in college hockey.

Omaha fans will remember one moment in particular.

Jubenvill scored the game-winning goal late in the third period to eliminate Omaha in the NCHC Quarterfinals on March 15, 2025 — jumping into the rush and finishing a comeback win for North Dakota. 

JAYDEN FREAKING JUBENVILL! #UNDproud | #LGH pic.twitter.com/cDliDvdyu8

— North Dakota Hockey (@UNDmhockey) March 16, 2025

A Fresh Opportunity
In the 2025-26 season, Jubenvill played in 15 games, recording two assists. A deep defensive corps for the Fighing Hawks meant Jubenvill had fewer minutes on the ice. The move to Omaha gives him the opportunity for more ice team as the Mavericks need to replace departing defensemen Griffin Ludtke, Jacob Guevin, and Aidan De La Gorgendiere. 

Head coach Mike Gabinet pointed to both experience and competitiveness in Jubenvill’s addition.

“We are excited to add Jayden to our team. He brings two valuable years of experience in the NCHC. I have always liked his game and appreciate his competitiveness.”

By the Numbers
Across two seasons at North Dakota:

• 52 games played
• 2 goals, 6 assists (8 points)
• 43 shots (4.7% shooting)
• 47 penalty minutes
• 1 game-winning goal (the aforementioned one vs. Omaha)

Jubenvill appears to be a more “defensive defenseman” as indicated by his plus/minus rating as a freshman and his willingness to block shots. 

Junior Hockey Pedigree + Clutch Factor
Before college, Jubenvill spent two seasons with the Dubuque Fighting Saints in the United States Hockey League, totaling 42 points in 115 games.

During Dubuque’s 2023-24 playoff run to the Clark Cup Final, he was named the top defenseman of the USHL Conference Finals after scoring twice in the series — including an overtime game-winner.

What This Means for Omaha
Jubenvill fits a familiar profile for Omaha: a player with NCHC experience, defensive reliability, and room to grow into a larger role.

He adds proven depth to the blue line and is expected to get regular playing time as a steady, defense-first defenseman.

From the email:  “The Blue Line Club will be integrated into the ONE Fund, the annual giving program supporting Omaha Athletics. The Blue Line Club will now operate as the Blue Line Club Fund within the ONE Fund (formerly the Hockey ONE Fund).”

A minimum annual donation of $100 qualifies for membership. 

Some season ticket holders may see changes tied to their seats. As noted in the email: “Some seats include a per-seat contribution, which will now count toward Blue Line Club membership and its added benefits, including early access to Baxter Arena and the Maverick Room.”

What We Don’t Yet Know

We don’t yet know how many home games the season ticket package will include, as the 2026-27 schedule has not been released. (You can track confirmed dates on our 2026-27 Omaha Hockey Schedule blog post.)

The 2025-26 season ticket member benefits included a one-time 20% discount at Lawlor’s Custom Sportswear, exclusive food and beverage discounts at Baxter Arena, two complimentary guest passes per season ticket, complimentary NCHC quarterfinal playoff tickets (if Omaha hosted), first right of refusal for seats for NCHC semifinal/championship games, priority access to neutral or postseason site tickets, a season ticket member appreciation game, and a 15% discount on season tickets for faculty, staff, and alumni association members.

We’ll continue to update this blog post as more details are released.
