James Hagens, drafted seventh overall in the 2025 NHL Draft, reflects on the excitement and pressure as he tours TD Garden. A photo of him in a Bruins jersey joins past legends in the Heritage Hall collection, symbolizing his potential future with the team. Hagens acknowledges the expectations of being viewed as a potential franchise savior but is motivated by the desire to connect with the fans and contribute to the team. His visit serves as an inspiration to strive hard for a spot on the roster.
"It makes you want to work as hard as possible so that you can be the guy that can call this home. You could be on that ice, playing for these fans."
"Such are the expectations placed on Hagens: a teenager whose sky-high potential is now feeling the weight of being a franchise savior in Boston."
