"Hagens - drafted seventh overall by Boston in the 2025 NHL Draft - led the way for the Eagles with a hat trick. Letourneau - a 2024 first-round pick (No. 25 overall) - added a goal and an assist in the win. Hagens, who was initially projected by some to be the top pick in the 2025 Draft, has been as advertised in his sophomore campaign at BC. On an Eagles team dealing with multiple injuries and the loss of several NHL prospects like Ryan Leonard and Gabe Perreault, Hagens has posted 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) over 14 games."
"Hagens' stock dipped last year after recording 37 points in 37 games as a true freshman at BC, with some wanting more high-end stats out of such a blue-chip prospect. While Hagens is still on track for a little over a point-per-game scoring rate, the eye test so far has been encouraging so far for a skilled prospect whose skating, edge work, and playmaking have been evident on a shorthanded BC squad. One of the knocks against Hagens has been his habit of operating more along the perimeter as a true freshman. But the sophomore has been much more assertive this season, knocking home his first goal on Friday with a spinning backhander in the crease."
Marco Sturm's first season as head coach has the 2025-26 Bruins already exceeding several expectations while the organization retools its roster. The prospect pipeline is producing top talent at Boston College, where James Hagens and Dean Letourneau led a 5-3 win over Notre Dame. Hagens, Boston's 2025 seventh-overall pick, recorded a hat trick and has 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 14 games amid team injuries and departures. Letourneau, a 2024 first-round selection, added a goal and an assist. Hagens has shown improved assertiveness, strong edge work, playmaking, and scored with a spinning backhand in the crease.
