Gamblers forward Cameron Lund had a great first year in the USHL, culminating in being voted to the USHL All-Rookie Second Team after producing 50 points (25-25-50) while appearing in all 62 of the Gamblers games last season. The Bridgewater, Mass. native registered a point in 34 separate games including 14 multi-point games and a pair of season-high three-point nights. Lund appeared in the 2022 BioSteel All-American Game aftering being ranked 37th in the Midseason Rankings and appearing as a B-rated skater on the Preliminary List. The Northeastern University commit is looking to continue a streak of 13-straight NHL Drafts with at least one selection from the Gamblers.

"Cam is a big body, at 6-foot-2, who can skate, score goals and distribute the puck," said Green Bay Gamblers President Jeff Mitchell. "Cam plays with an edge and does not shy away from contact. Hard skill is the best way to describe his game."

Brody Lamb (New York Rangers - 104th Overall) was selected last season from the Gamblers and marked the 52nd selection from Green Bay, tying them for fifth in USHL history. The Gamblers are one of nine USHL teams with 50-or-more all-time selections in the NHL Draft.

Goaltender Rastislav Elias and defenseman Ethan Straky were on the service's Preliminary List as C-rated players.
