While this year’s BC men’s hockey season is opening up with tempered expectations, with the Eagles not ranked in the preseason USCHO poll, talent evaluators are very high on the group of players Greg Brown has coming in to bolster the Eagles’ ranks in the coming years.
PuckPreps, one of the leading services ranking college/junior hockey recruits, has the Eagles’ recruiting class for the 2005 birth year ranked #1 in the nation. 2005 birth year players will be 18 next fall (that’s horrifying!) so the best of them will be starting their college hockey careers in 2023.
Led by Will Smith and Aram Minnetian, our #1 and #2 ranked American skaters, the Boston College Eagles are atop the 2005 Class of NCAA recruiting.
