Prokop played five season in the NCAA and ended his college career at the University of St. Thomas. While playing for University of St. Thomas, he tallied three goals and five assists, along with 16 penalty minutes in the span of 27 games.
Prokop is 6’1 and 198 pounds. He comes equipped with a right shot and finished 14th in game winning goals with 2, and 14th in face-offs with 291 won. Prior to playing for the University of St. Thomas, Prokop played for the University of Nebraska-Omaha in the 2019-2020, and 2020-2021 seasons and Colorado College in the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 season. Prokop totaled 21 points notching eight goals and 13 assists in the span of 140 NCAA career games.
“Noah had the chance to play out of college with a good team in Toledo and now, with his feet wet, I expect him to come in, play hard, play physical and earn his opportunity to move up our lineup. Noah is going to provide our team that physicality and that defensive-minded approach that we need to have to win games. He will also help us out in the middle of the ice with a role similar to Jacob Gaucher with Lehigh Valley where he takes a lot of important face-offs.”
