Penticton, BC, – Kaizen Sports Agency, a premier sports management firm, is delighted to announce that long-time client, Jake Lucchini, has signed a contract with the National Hockey League's Minnesota Wild. Lucchini has already signed his fourth NHL contract since leaving Michigan Tech to play professionally.

Jake Lucchini, recognized for his resilience and relentless pursuit of excellence, has consistently demonstrated his exceptional skill and determination both on and off the ice. As a Senior Managing Director at Kaizen Sports Agency, Michael O'Rafferty commends Jake's unwavering commitment and resilience, stating, "Jake's journey to the NHL exemplifies his dedication to his craft and the pursuit of his dreams. He has showcased immense talent, work ethic, and character throughout his career, and we are incredibly proud of his accomplishments."

Lucchini, a native of Trail, British Columbia, made his NHL debut with the Ottawa Senators last season, making an immediate impact with one goal in 11 games. The 6-foot, 180-pound forward proved his scoring ability by netting his first career NHL goal and game-winning goal against Buffalo on January 1st. In the 2022-23 season with the Belleville Senators (AHL), Lucchini recorded an impressive 53 points (19-34=53), including five power-play goals and four shorthanded goals. His contributions on both ends of the ice positioned him as a key player for Belleville, ranking among the league leaders in multiple categories.

Prior to his time with the Senators organization, Lucchini showcased his talent during his tenure with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins and the Laval Rocket, accumulating 33 points (20-13=33) in 104 AHL games. His outstanding performances in the AHL, combined with a remarkable collegiate career at Michigan Tech University, where he tallied 104 points (45-59=104) in 164 games, have laid the foundation for his continued success in professional hockey.
