Davidson joins Stingrays

Tuesday, July 30th

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - The South Carolina Stingrays, ECHL affiliate of the National Hockey League's Washington Capitals and American Hockey League's Hershey Bears, announced that the club has signed forward Jeremy Davidson to a contract for the 2024-25 season.

Davidson, 24, signs his first professional contract after spending the last three seasons playing college hockey at Michigan State University. At Michigan State, Davidson played for Spartans Head Coach Adam Nightingale, who is an older brother of Stingrays Head Coach Jared Nightingale. The Spartans won their first Big Ten tournament championship last season, and Davidson scored in the title game, a 5-4 overtime victory over the University of Michigan.

In three seasons with Michigan State, Davidson skated in 108 games and tallied 65 points (33g-32a). In 2023-24, Davidson helped Michigan State qualify for the 16-team NCAA National Tournament as the #4 ranked team in the nation. The Spartans won Big Ten regular-season and tournament championships and fell one game short of reaching the Frozen Four. In the first round of the NCAA national tournament, Davidson scored the overtime winner in Michigan State's 5-4 victory over Western Michigan.

Davidson spent the 2019-20 season playing for the University of Massachusetts before the COVID-19 pandemic cut his freshman year short. In 2020-21, Davidson returned to the United States Hockey League's Fargo Force and served as an alternate captain. He notched 39 points (13g-26a) in 54 games and helped the Force reach the 2021 Clark Cup Final.
