The NorthStar Knights are proud to announce that 16U AAA forward Jack Larkin has signed a USHL Standard Player Development Agreement with the Dubuque Fighting Saints for the 2026–27 season.
Larkin has been a dynamic offensive contributor for the Knights throughout the 2025–26 season, showcasing a strong combination of skill, compete level, and hockey IQ. The Fargo, North Dakota native consistently created offense with his speed, vision, and ability to make plays in high-pressure situations.
During the 2025–26 season, Larkin recorded 58 points in 58 games for NorthStar, including 25 goals, while also earning affiliate opportunities with Dubuque during the season.
Selected by Dubuque in the second round (28th overall) of the 2025 USHL Phase I Draft, Larkin’s development and work ethic have continued to elevate his game. Standing at 5-foot-10 and shooting right-handed, he has established himself as a reliable two-way forward capable of impacting the game in all three zones.
The USHL is widely regarded as the premier junior hockey league in the United States, providing elite competition and a direct pathway to NCAA Division I and professional hockey. Dubuque represents an outstanding opportunity for Larkin to continue his growth both on and off the ice.
The entire NorthStar Knights organization congratulates Jack and his family on this accomplishment. His dedication, leadership, and commitment to development have made a lasting impact on the program, and we look forward to following his success at the next level.
