Just like that, the 2023 NHL Draft has come to a close — and it was a big two days for Boston College men’s hockey. Six future Eagles were selected in this year’s draft, tied for most in a single draft since 1989 when seven Eagles were chosen.
History was made in Round 1, as incoming freshman Will Smith became the highest draft pick in Boston College history when he was picked fourth overall by the San Jose Sharks. He was followed by Ryan Leonard, who went eighth overall to the Washington Capitals.
