Prior to beginning his junior career, the Frisco, Texas native split time between Frisco High West and Texas Tigers 18U AA. Appearing in 30 games, Pinkerman netted 17 goals and logged nine assists for 26 points with Frisco High West. The 5-foot-9 forward appeared in 18 games for the Tigers, logging four goals and five assists.
Pinkerman joins Kurtis Brachlow, Cassius Hook, Johnny Arruda, Noah Leriger, Charlie Scott, Stone Baulch and David Gifford as announced signings for the 2025-26 season. Stay tuned for more roster transactions as the offseason progresses.
