Following a close double-overtime loss in the Hockey East tournament semifinal, Northeastern's men's hockey team faced significant changes with five of its top players signing NHL contracts. Key departures include Junior forward Aidan Lund joining the San Jose Sharks, Junior defenseman Jackson Dorrington signing with the New York Rangers, and Captain Jack Williams securing a deal with the Columbus Blue Jackets. As a response, Northeastern sought to bolster its roster by adding three new players through the NCAA transfer portal, aiming to maintain competitiveness amid these changes.
Junior forward Aidan Lund signed an entry-level contract with the San Jose Sharks on March 21, becoming the latest player to leave Northeastern after its Hockey East tournament loss.
Jackson Dorrington signed a three-year entry-level deal with the New York Rangers on March 23 after being traded to them earlier in the season.
Captain Jack Williams, an undrafted player, earned a two-year entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets after a strong collegiate career with Northeastern.
After the recent departures, Northeastern has added three new players through the transfer portal to reinforce their roster moving forward.
