Winnipeg Jets prospect Zachary Nehring had an unbelievable performance recently, which has really added to his stock as a future star player in the NHL. Winnipeg Jets prospect Zachary Nehring recently helped Western Michigan University make history by winning their first NCAA National Championship over the weekend <a href='https://bleacherreport.com/articles/25183791-western-michigan-beats-boston-university-win-2025-ncaa-hockey-championship-bracket' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>after the team really manhandled Boston University with a 6-2 final score.</a> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sfstampede/status/1779318690141323384'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CollegePucksC2C/status/1911371711909416988'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Western Michigan, led by the Philadelphia Flyers prospect Alex Bump, is one of the toughest and strongest teams in the NCAA, using quickness and grit to wear down their opponents. Drafted as the third-round choice (82nd overall) in the 2023 NHL Draft, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/player/zach-nehring-8484204' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Nehring</a> had a solid rookie season. With 13 goals and 30 points in 42 games, he was fifth in goal scoring and sixth in total points on the team. Nehring stands at a nice height of 6 feet and 3 inches and a weight of 179 pounds, so he is able to use his big stature to gain favorable placement and emerge victorious in battles along the walls. <h3>It wasn't easy for Nehring to get to the level he is currently at</h3> Transitioning to the college ranks, however, has not come easily for Nehring so far this season. Last season, he also had trouble while playing in the USHL for Sioux Falls, recording a lowly nine goals and 14 points, while also being burdened by concussion complications. He seems to be building a consistent pattern of play at the age of 20. This trend is a positive development for the Jets, the team that drafted him second in the 2023 draft. So far, the outcomes match up to expectations, and fans should be excited. The Jets already boast the top team in the entire league as they have just captured the Presidents' Trophy, so throw in a top young prospect like Nehring, and the future continues to shine even brighter.
