Solag Bakich is a rising star at ND University. In college, his best year was 2021–2022, with 17 points in 35 games. Bakich’s hard work paid off with a successful season. But what he did after college season caught his attention.

Bakich excels in ECHL shooting. He had 3 goals and 10 points in 12 games. He did well in the playoffs, with 8 games and 4 points. Bakich got a new contract for 2023-2024 for his excellent performance. If Bakich signs with the Dallas Stars, it would be a significant career step as his first NHL deal.
