Players born in 2008 will finally hit the ice for men's college hockey teams this fall and winter. Still, many are in junior hockey, and some are still at the prep and U18 levels.
The '08s are an interesting birth year. Some were recruited before the CHL ruling, which allowed prospects playing in the CHL to become eligible for NCAA D1 men's hockey. It also made college hockey teams older and recruit older players, too.
Since the '08s are now 18 (or on the verge of turning 18), colleges will take hard looks at them these next three seasons.
Here is our database of all 2008-born players committed to New England Division 1 colleges, as well as locals committing outside the region.
Players, parents and coaches are welcome to submit updates. Please send additions to evan.marinofsky@hockeyjournal.com and include the following: name, hometown, birthday, position, shoots/catches, school/club and college.
