The 2009-born boys hockey players are now committing to Division 1 college hockey programs.
They are still far from playing in college hockey. That doesn't mean college hockey coaches haven't been watching their every move.
Many '09s became eligible to commit to Division 1 programs on Aug. 1, 2025. The rest will become eligible in less than a month.
It hasn't been as busy with the '09s committing as it was with previous birth years — and that's not for lack of talent. It's a different era in recruiting, with schools opting for older, proven players from the USHL and the CHL. Many '09s will have to prove it in junior hockey before getting an offer from a school.
Here is our database of all 2009-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.
