The Coral Springs Jr. Cats are proud to announce the signing of defenseman Keaton Hodges to the NCDC roster for the 2026-27 season. Hodges, a 5’11”, 190-pound left-handed shot, gives the Jr. Cats a steady, physical presence on the blue line.

A native of Blue Ridge, Georgia, Hodges built his game through the Atlanta Mad Hatters program before moving up through Twin City Ice Mavericks 16U AAA and Nashville Jr. Predators, developing into one of the more sought after defensemen in his class.

That development has drawn real recognition. Hodges was selected 10th overall by the Pelham Prowlers in the 2026 NA3HL Draft and added a 15th round selection by the New Jersey Jr. Titans in the 2026 NAHL Entry Draft, a testament to his upside on the back end.

Hodges brings a physical edge, a left handed shot, and a two-way mindset to Coral Springs, giving the coaching staff another reliable piece to build the defense corps around.

Welcome to the family, Keaton. The Tradition Starts Now.
