The USPHL has announced that Boston Advantage forward Arik Altman is the NCDC North Division Forward of the Month.

The veterans carried their teams in September and October, as the second-year Advantage player Altman, a 2003 birth year out of Scottsdale, put up 17 points in 14 games to lead Boston to its current third-place standing in the North Division.

He jumped right out with a 1-2-3 line in Game 1 of the season and has scored some very important goals among his eight, including two game-winners in one-goal games. His first game-winning goal broke what had been an eight-game winning streak for the Jersey Hitmen – and in their own rink – at the close of the NCDC portion of the Hitmen Classic.

Altman is a great example of #USPHLAdvancement in action, as he was previously a USPHL Premier Pacific Division All-Star in 2020-21 as a member of the first Las Vegas Thunderbirds team to skate in the USPHL.

During his youth hockey days, Altman skated for the Jr. Coyotes
