The Ogden Mustangs of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that forward Nicholas Peragine has committed to play NCAA hockey for Tufts University in the NESCAC.

The 6-foot-2 skater from New York, Peragine, will join the Jumbos at Tufts University next fall. Peragine has played in the League of Opportunity over the last three seasons. The 20-year-old forward started his 2026-27 campaign with the Corpus Christi IceRays, skating in six games with the South Division club. After his time with the IceRays, the Mustangs acquired him. Peragine has hit the ice in 10 games for the Mountain Division club, registering three assists for the team so far.

Prior to this season, the New York native has played 11 games across the 2025-26 and 2024-25 seasons. He recorded a goal and an assist during that span.

Head coach of the Mustangs, Kenny Orlando, describes the impact Peragine has made to the team.

"Nick has been a solid addition to our group in Ogden. He is a strong power forward that likes to move the puck around. Nick has grown attentive to details of the game and is playing with confidence as an age-out player in the league. We congratulate Nick on his commitment to Tufts University. Our staff wishes him continued success at the next level of hockey starting in the 2027-2028 season."

Peragine is the first member of the Ogden Mustangs to make a college ice hockey commitment.
