9 takeaways from men's college hockey recruiting, transfer portal

1 week ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

It's been roughly two months since our last look at the latest in men's college hockey recruiting. Now that the Division 1 season is over, it's as good a time as ever to see where things stand. Another reason is that the transfer portal is at the top of mind. It feels as though a current player is joining a new college team every day. The portal is open from March 30 to May 13, so we're right in the middle of it. There have also been a handful of new college commits. Let's dive in.
11 uncommitted players to watch at New England District camp

1 week ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

When the New England District boys camp kicks off for all players on Friday, everyone will be competing for spots at USA Hockey Select Camps. The '08s will battle to make Select 17 Camp, while the '09s and '10s will fight to make Select 16 and 15 Camps, respectively. But the weekend also provides a great showcase for players to perform at their best in front of Division 1 college coaches.
Why the Mount St. Charles '09s thrived

1 week ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

Early in the fall, Brody Berard had an idea. The Mount St. Charles defenseman was part of the core that won the 14U national championship in the spring of 2024. As the Mounties were approaching their 15O season, Berard wanted to make sure his team didn't forget what they accomplished a few months prior. So, he hung up a photo of his team celebrating after winning the 14U national title in the locker room.

From Thursday through Sunday, the top boys talent in the New England District will battle for spots at USA Hockey Select Camps. In all, 305 players will descend upon the International Skating Center of Connecticut in Simsbury, Conn. The New England District makes up every state in the region except for Massachusetts, which is its own district, according to USA Hockey. The birth years battling this season are '08s, '09s and '10s. The '08s will form a team competing at Select 17 Camp July 7-13.
10 takeaways from NHL Central Scouting's 2025 final rankings

1 week ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

The final NHL Central Scouting rankings came out for the 2025 NHL Draft, and it was a rough one for New England. Only seven locals made the list, which is down from the 13 who were ranked last season. It's even down from 2023, when only nine New Englanders' names were on NHL Central Scouting's final ranking.

The final NHL Central Scouting rankings for the 2025 NHL Draft were released on Tuesday. Seven New Englanders and several players committed to New England Division 1 colleges made the cut. That number is down from last season, when 13 locals made the final rankings for the 2024 NHL Draft. In all, only five of those players were drafted.
Who were the local players picked in the 2025 OHL Draft?

1 week ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

In past years, we in New England wouldn't have paid much attention to the OHL Priority Selection. Most players in New England (and the rest of the United States) wanted to play NCAA Division 1 hockey, so they wouldn't be able to play in the OHL. That's no longer the case. Since the CHL ruling in November, prospects can play in the OHL (as well as the QMJHL and WHL) and still play NCAA Division 1 hockey. That's why OHL teams selected a record 81 players from U.S.-based teams this year.
What can Mass. Hockey learn from Meyer, Sears and Pandolfo?

You could hear an audible groan across Massachusetts when the U.S. National Team Development Program's Evaluation Camp roster was announced mid-March. "Only three kids from Massachusetts?"Yes. Just three players who were brought up playing hockey in Massachusetts were selected to try out to wear the Red, White and Blue. But these weren't just any three players. It was Carter Meyer, Finn Sears and Sam Pandolfo. The three have become synonymous with each other.
4 New Englanders make 2025-26 USNTDP U17 team

2 weeks ago | hockeyjournal.com | Evan Marinofsky

The 2025-26 U.S. National Team Development Program will have solid New England representation. Four locals, along with four other players who played at Mount St. Charles this season, made the next NTDP squad. The Rivers forward trio of Carter Meyer (Winchester, Mass.), Finn Sears (Medford, Mass.) and Sam Pandolfo (Winchester, Mass.) all made it. Mid Fairfield's Jake Boguniecki (Orange, Conn.) will be the only local on defense.
Who wins 2025 national championship?

2 weeks ago | hockeyjournal.com | Patrick Donnelly |Evan Marinofsky

When the NCAA men's hockey regional finals were about to get underway, there was a chance at an all-New England Frozen Four. Unfortunately, that won't be the case. Instead, Penn State took down UConn, Denver beat Boston College again and Western Michigan edged out Massachusetts. The lone New England school gunning for a national title will be Boston University after taking down Cornell in overtime.

The Frozen Four should alternate between Boston, Minnesota, MSG and maybe Tampa as a destination vacation for people from college hockey markets. St. Louis? No thanks.
