Boston College’s men’s hockey season did not go very well in 2021-22, but Eagles fans can at least hope for an improved roster next season. Despite losing some of their top producers, and being at risk of losing more, the team is shaping up to have a lot more depth.
I’ve organized players into 4 categories:
- Losses: Players that are out of eligibility or have already signed professional contracts
- Flight Risks: Players that do not have to leave BC, but have potential to sign professionally or seek a transfer
- Likely Returning: Players that do not have to return, but likely will return
- Incoming: This year’s freshman class or transfers
Forwards
Losses: Jack McBain, Marc McLaughlin, Brandon Kruse, Sam Sternschein
Flight Risks: Patrick Giles, Nikita Nesterenko, Colby Ambrosio, Casey Carreau
Likely Returning: Liam Izyk, Gentry Shamburger, Trevor Kuntar, Matt Argentina, Jack Dempsey, Connor Joyce, Mike Posma
Incoming: Cutter Gauthier (C/LW), Connor Welsh (F), Andre Gasseau (C), Oskar Jellvik (LW/C), Will Traeger (C), Paul Davey (LW), Billy Norcross (C/RW), Tim Delay (RW)
Boston College is losing their top 3 forwards in Jack McBain, Marc McLaughlin, and Brandon Kruse.
