There are only 20 days to go until the National Hockey League (NHL) drops the puck for the first time and the 2025-26 NHL regular season begins, which means NHL Rookie Camps are now underway across the entire league.<\/p>\n
Among those rookies competing to make their respective rosters are two former Boston College men\u2019s hockey players, goaltender Jacob Fowler (Montreal Canadiens) and winger Gabe Perreault (New York Rangers).<\/p>\n
Fowler and Perreault, who have spent the last two seasons in Chestnut Hill, Mass., both signed their rookie deals in Spring. Fowler signed<\/a> a three-year, $2.77 million dollar contract on April 4, and Perreault signed<\/a> a three-year, $2.85 million dollar contract on March 31, and both contracts are entry-level deals.<\/p>\n A Mike Richter Award winner and two-time ACHA First Team All-American, Fowler, who hails from Melbourne, Fla., is leaving a lasting legacy in the goalie ranks of the Eagles\u2019 hockey program.<\/p>\n Fowler\u2019s 1.63 goals against average (GAA) in 2024-25 is a program record, and he finished in the top three nationally in wins (25), GAA, save percentage (.942), and shutouts (7) last season.<\/p>\n On Sept. 11, roughly a week before Rookie Camps started across the league, Fowler talked to the media about what it felt like to play at Bell Centre for the first time, where decades of professional hockey history has materialized for one of the NHL\u2019s original six teams.<\/p>\n “You don’t really get words to describe it,\u201d Fowler said. \u201cYou want to soak it all up and when I get there, take a couple of looks around and really soak it all in because whether it’s a real game or not, the first time you ever get to be in that building with people in it, it’s something you will never forget.”<\/p>\n According to USHL\/NCAA scout and writer for the outlet elitprospects, Fowler is the No. 2 prospect in Montreal\u2019s organization behind Russian winger Ivan Demidov, who was selected fifth overall by the Habs in the 2024 NHL Draft. Fowler was a third-round pick by the Canadiens in the 2023 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n Perreault, meanwhile, is one of the most decorated forwards in the 21st century in BC history despite just playing for a couple of seasons.<\/p>\n Named an ACHA Second Team All-American the past two seasons and a Hockey East First Team All-Star in 2024-25 as a sophomore, along with a Hockey East Second Team All-Star in 2023-24 as a freshman, the New York Rangers’ first-round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft is bringing slick awareness with the puck and an eye for the open man to Manhattan.<\/p>\n Perreault led the Eagles in assists in both 2023-24 (32, fifth nationally) and 2024-25 (41, second nationally), and tied for fourth in Division I in points (90) as a rookie.<\/p>\n On Monday, Perreault talked to the Rangers media about the message that New York\u2019s first-year head coach Mike Sullivan had for him going into Rookie Camp.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the same as everyone,\u201d Perreault said. \u201cJust come in and compete. Kind of that same mentality that I\u2019ve had all summer until now. \u2026 I think [Rookie Camp] was a good starting point. I think like I said, I\u2019ve got more to prove, but I\u2019m gonna be ready going into training camp.\u201d<\/p>\n Here is The Rundown for Thursday, September 18.<\/p>\n Women’s Soccer: vs. Pitt at 7 p.m. EST | Game Preview<\/a> | Watch on ACCN<\/a> | Live Stats<\/a> <\/p>\n Volleyball: vs. Harvard at 7 p.m. EST | Game Preview<\/a> | Watch on ESPN+<\/a> | Live Stats<\/a><\/p>\n No games were scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2025.<\/p>\n 14 days.<\/p>\n Hitting the big picture pic.twitter.com\/Fypti57zZl<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Boston College Football (@BCFootball) September 17, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Shutout against a nationally ranked opponent \u2705 Congrats, Andrej!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udcf0 https:\/\/t.co\/7nTRIGNWAA<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/EKmkx2m7XA<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 BC Men’s Soccer (@BC_MSoccer) September 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Boston College\u2019s Earl Grant was in today for prime target and four-star senior Trey Beamer, source told @Stockrisers<\/a>.
