Minot Alternate Captain O’Hanisain makes NCAA Commitment

The Minot Minotauros of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that forward Jack O’Hanisain has committed to play NCAA hockey for Adrian College in the NCHA.

The 5'11 righty from Troy, Michigan, will return to his home state to skate with the Bulldogs in Adrian, Michigan, in the fall. O’Hanisain is a third-year veteran of the Tauros. This past season, the ‘04 skater hit the ice in 62 games for Minot. He tallied 25 goals and 42 assists for the North Dakota team. He ranks second on his roster with his 67 points on the season. Three of his goals were named as the game-winning goal, while eight goals were scored on the man advantage. This past season, the 21-year-old was named as a Top Prospect for the Central Division roster at the 2025 Top Prospects Tournament.

His sophomore season saw the Michigan native lacing up for 68 games for the Tauros. The 5’11 forward scored a team-leading 33 goals and made 39 assists. He ranked first on his roster for the 2023-24 season with his 72 points on the season. 15 of his goals were scored on the man advantage, while two goals were deemed as the decider in contests.

O’Hanisain made his NAHL debut in the 2022-23 season. The rookie hit the ice in 47 games, tallying five goals and five assists for the North Dakota roster. He played a total of 177 games as a Tauro and produced 149 career points.

General Manager of the Minotauros, Cody Campbell, shares the impact of O’Hanisain.

“Jack came here a bright-eyed kid three years ago, and he is heading to Adrian, a mature young man who understands the level of work you have to have to be a consistent force. We will miss having an O’Hanisain in Minot, but we are thrilled to watch Jack continue to thrive at Adrian.”

O’Hanisain is one of 14 members of the Minot Minotauros to make a college hockey commitment.
