The Federal Prospects Hockey League announced that two former Northland College standouts, goaltender Chris Curr and forward Kalib Ford, have signed fresh contracts to return to the circuit for the upcoming season.
A Reunion of Talent and Experience
Curr spent his collegiate career with the Lumberjacks from 2020 to 2023, posting a 3.67 goals‑against average and a .910 save percentage, figures that highlighted his reliability between the posts.
After college, he moved to the Indiana Sentinels, where in 36 games he recorded a 5‑9‑0‑2 tally, reflecting the adjustment period many players face when transitioning to professional competition.
Ford, who contributed 28 goals and 60 assists during his four years at Northland, has built a reputation as a dynamic offensive presence, a reputation that was further cemented this winter when he tallied 41 goals and 54 assists for a total of 95 points, placing him fourth in the league’s scoring standings.
Having logged five seasons in the FPHL, including stints with the Thunderbirds and the Athens Rock Lobsters, Ford’s recent production underscores his consistency and ability to contribute across the roster.
The return of both players is expected to inject a blend of veteran poise and high‑level scoring into the league, offering teams a proven combination of goaltending stability and forward firepower as the next season approaches.
Fans and analysts alike anticipate that Curr’s experience between the pipes and Ford’s offensive output will shape the competitive landscape, adding depth and excitement to the FPHL’s narrative for the coming campaign.
