Biography
McNicholas was slated to play in Maine for a third season when they suspended operations for the 2020-21 season.
McNicholas was playing in Norway when the Mariners came calling in early November 2018, a move that paid off for both the player and the team. McNicholas ended up leading the 18-19 Mariners in assists, with 40, which put him fouth among ECHL rookies. He received team "Rookie of the Year" honors as a result.
Re-signing for 2019-20, McNicholas got off to a slow start, but still managed to finish fourth on the team in scoring. His consistent play has earned him 91 career points as a Mariner, the top franchise mark through the first two seasons. Entering 20-21, he's also the franchise leader in assists (67) and games played (125). McNicholas played three games for the Indy Fuel in 2017-18, after finishing college at the University of New Hampshire.
