The Philadelphia Flyers have officially signed prospect Noah Powell to an entry-level contract on Wednesday, the team announced. Powell, 21, will report to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms for the remainder of the season.
His ELC will not kick in until the 2026-27 season.
Powell played his final season of NCAA hockey with the Arizona State Sun Devils, playing under Greg Powers. This season, the 6’2″ right wing tallies 7 goals and 5 assists for 12 total points in 34 games played. This was his sophomore season in college.
Last year, Powell attended Ohio State University, where he scored 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 total points in 17 games. He left the NCAA mid-season and joined the Oshawa Generals for the rest of the year. In the OHL, the Flyers prospect scored 9 goals, 13 assists for 22 total points in 28 games.
He also added 4 goals and 10 assists in 21 OHL playoff games for Oshawa.
Powell is a player who, when you watch him, shows flashes of greatness. His two best traits are his shot and his net-front abilities, both when driving to the net and when screening the goalie. There is potential for him to be a solid two-way player. However, there is a consistency issue – he’s not always able to put the pieces together. When he does, though, he plays like one of the best players on the ice.
Powell was a former 5th-round pick by the Flyers in 2022, selected 148th overall from the Dubuque Fighting Saints (USHL).
Again, Powell will report straight to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.
