The Boston University Terriers are currently ranked eighth in the most recent national polls and feature five picks from the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, three of whom were selected in the first 19 picks. Sophomore defenseman Charlie McAvoy was also selected in the first round of this year’s draft, making the Terriers only the second collegiate team to ever have four players chosen in the first round of an NHL Draft.

“We invite all youth players to take advantage of this opportunity and experience the atmosphere at our home opener,” said Boston University head coach David Quinn. “We hope that by watching some of the college hockey’s best talent, they will continue to be inspired to play this great sport at all levels.”
