Big, right-shot defensemen are valuable commodities. Boston College just got its next one.
On Tuesday, Jake Boguniecki announced his commitment to Boston College. The Orange, Conn., native is 6-foot-2 and 161 pounds.
Boguniecki is fresh off an outstanding season with Mid Fairfield's 15O team, scoring 13 goals and posting 71 points in 61 games.
That helped him score an invite to U.S. National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp, where he made the team. He will begin in Plymouth, Mich., in the fall.

The '09 has long been with Mid Fairfield, and became serious about hockey with the program. Up to that point, Boguniecki's main focus was baseball.
Baseball is still a big part of Boguniecki's identity. He's a phenomenal pitcher for Amity High School. But hockey has taken the driver's seat since his first tryouts with Mid Fairfield.
In his college search, Boguniecki's options were open. He had heavy interest from other Hockey East schools. He took visits with Big Ten programs. Ultimately, he chose Boston College.
Boguniecki's father is Eric, who had a 13-year professional hockey career between the NHL and AHL. Before that, he played two seasons for Westminster and four for UNH. He is now a scout for the Utah Mammoth.
An April of '09 birthday, Boguniecki will be eligible for the NHL Draft in 2027.
