The NCAA men’s hockey season continued this past weekend with seven New York Rangers prospects in action for their respective college teams.
Teammates Gabe Perreault and Drew Fortescue returned to Boston College after helping the United States capture gold at the 2025 IIHF World Junior Championship. This marked the first time the U.S. won back-to-back titles, with Perreault and Fortescue playing pivotal roles in both gold medal victories. Perreault recorded 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) this season, while Fortescue remained a standout defensive presence on the top pairing.
Unfortunately for Boston College, they were upset by Merrimack College in the first game of their weekend series, losing 5-2 on Friday. After taking an early 2-0 lead, the Eagles allowed five unanswered goals. Fortescue was sidelined for this game, but Perreault led his team with five shots on goal, although his four-game point streak came to an end.
Fortescue returned to the lineup on Saturday and contributed a secondary assist on the game-winning goal in Boston College’s 4-1 victory. He also had two shots on goal and finished with a plus-1 rating.
Perreault registered the primary assist on the Eagles’ fourth goal, pushing his total to 17 assists and 24 points, leading the team. He finished the game with one assist, three shots on goal, one blocked shot, and a plus-1 rating.
Boston College improved to 13-4-1 with the victory. The Eagles will next face Harvard on Tuesday night at Conte Forum.
