NCAA Bound: Pineo Takes Next Step with Johnson & Wales

Prosper Sports Group client Noah Pineo has officially committed to Johnson & Wales University for the 2026–2027 season, taking the next step in his hockey and academic career at the NCAA Division III level.

A native of North Reading, Massachusetts, Pineo has steadily developed into a reliable forward with strong offensive instincts and a consistent presence down the middle. Standing at 5’11”, 170 pounds, he brings a balanced game that combines skill, pace, and hockey IQ.

Pineo’s path has included key development stops at Tilton School and the Northern Cyclones organization. During the 2025–26 season in the National Collegiate Development Conference (NCDC), he recorded 16 points (7G, 9A) in 36 games, showing his ability to contribute at a high level against strong junior competition.

His earlier prep career highlighted his offensive upside, including a 21-point season at Tilton, where he proved he could produce while playing in a structured, competitive environment. Over time, Pineo has rounded out his game, becoming a dependable two-way forward capable of impacting all areas of the ice.

Pineo will look to continue his development at Johnson & Wales as he makes the transition to NCAA hockey.
