Former Beaver Jackson Jutting named to ECHL All-Rookie Team

Apr. 17—BEMIDJI — Even though it's been over a year since Jackson Jutting wore a Bemidji State jersey, he's still making headlines.

The former captain and 2025 graduate was named to the ECHL All-Rookie Team for 2025-26, which is determined by a vote from ECHL coaches, broadcasters, media relations directors and media, who were asked to select a goaltender, two defensemen and three forwards.

Playing for the Kansas City Mavericks, Jutting had 30 goals to lead all rookies. He was second among first-year players in points with 59 in 64 games. He had nine power-play goals and 11 game-winning goals.

Jutting has also played four games with the Grand Rapids Griffins this season, the American Hockey League affiliate for the Detroit Red Wings. He recorded one assist.

Jutting is joined by goaltender T.J. Semptimphelter, defensemen Brent Johnson and Ben Meehan and forwards Danny Dzhaniyev and Ryan Kirwan.

Since the ECHL began naming the All-Rookie Team in 2000-01, 23 players selected have gone on to play in the National Hockey League: Simon Gamache (2001-02); Mike Glumac, Vern Fiddler, Adam Hauser, Jason Jaffray and Zenon Konopka (2002-03); Kevin Doell and Brian Fahey (2003-04); Joey Tenute (2004-05); Cedrick Desjardins (2006-07); David Desharnais and Anton Khudobin (2007-08); Richard Bachman (2009-10); Kael Mouillierat and Ben Street (2010-11); Philipp Grubauer (2011-12); Laurent Brossoit (2013-14); Roman Will (2014-15); Jacob MacDonald and Vitek Vanecek (2015-16); Landon Bow (2016-17); Justin Danforth (2017-18) and Justin Brazeu (2019-20).
