Ukrainian Roots Power Division I Hockey
Grant Slukynsky, a 6‑foot‑1 forward for Western Michigan University, has emerged as one of the most productive offensive players in the 2025‑26 NCAA Division I season.
In 39 games he has tallied 10 goals and 30 assists, reaching a total of 40 points that places him among the league’s top playmakers.
His performance coincides with a record 27 athletes of Ukrainian heritage suiting up across Division I, underscoring a growing cultural footprint in the sport.
At 200 pounds, Slukynsky blends size with skill, a combination that has helped the Broncos stay competitive in a tightly contested conference.
