Hagens has tallied 18 points (10 goals, eight assists) in 16 games for BC this season. He has almost matched his goal total from 2024-25 when he scored 11 times in 37 games. Hagens shined at last year's World Juniors. He scored five goals with four assists in seven games, including a goal in the gold medal game against Finland. He is expected to play a prominent role for Team USA at this year's tournament as the projected first-line center.
By most standards, Bruins' prospect Loke Johansson enjoyed a very good first season in North American hockey. Playing for Moncton in the QMJHL, the 6-foot-3, 214-pound Swedish-born defenseman had 4-18-22 totals and was a plus-46 while playing with the Wildcats, who won the Q championship while being led by last June's fourth overall pick Caleb Desnoyers. But, to be sure, it took a period of adjustment when he first arrived on the continent.
