The Green Bay Gamblers have signed Logan Cotter to a United States Hockey League (USHL) tender agreement for the 2026-27 season.

Cotter split this season between St. Mark’s School and the East Coast Militia 15U AAA. The 5’11,” 165-pound defenseman and Boston native had five goals and 17 assists at St. Mark’s school, while recording 10 goals and 23 assists in 24 games for the Militia, leading defensemen in scoring. He had five goals and 25 assists in 30 games for the South Shore Kings 14U AAA last year.

“We could not be happier to bring Logan to Green Bay, said Green Bay Head Coach and General Manager Pat McCadden. “His skating, smarts, and competitiveness make him a natural fit for our group, and we’re eager to get going.”

The USHL tender process allows teams to sign up to two 2010 birth-year players in exchange for their first- and second-round picks in the 2026 USHL Phase I Draft. As a result of their tender signings this year, the Gamblers have forfeited their first and second-round picks in Phase I of the USHL Draft. Each tendered player will join their respective team’s roster next season and play at least 55% of the team’s regular-season games.

“I am honored to be a part of the Green Bay Gamblers organization,” said Cotter. “I feel that my style of play and my values align with theirs, and I could not be more excited for the opportunity to play in the USHL for them.”

About the USHL

The United States Hockey League (USHL) and its 16 teams are committed to being the world's leading junior hockey league. This season, more than 50% of NCAA Division I men's hockey players and nearly 25% of NHL players have USHL experience. The USHL has developed more than 285 direct NHL Draft picks since 2020, and eight of the last 10 Hobey Baker Award winners, including Macklin Celebrini (Chicago Steel).

Elevated through the recently announced Declaration of Excellence with the NHL and USA Hockey, the league's player-first approach, including a 2:1 practice-to-game ratio and a schedule with 90% of games played on weekends, provides its players with the optimal environment for athletic and personal growth, creating pathways for the next generation of stars like Auston Matthews (NTDP), Kyle Connor (Youngstown Phantoms), Jeremy Swayman (Sioux Falls Stampede), and Johnny Gaudreau (Dubuque Fighting Saints).
