Episode Details

Cole Chandler, Boston Bruins’ fifth-round draft pick in 2025, is set to play college hockey right in his hometown — Northeastern University in Boston — starting in 2027-28. The 19-year-old, who recently traded to the Cape Breton Eagles for a four-hour drive home to Bedford, Nova Scotia, sees Northeastern as the perfect fit: the chance to play in Boston, compete in the legendary Beanpot, and face elite coaching and competition to accelerate his growth. While Bruins’ development director Adam McQuaid wants to see more consistency — especially in skating and quickness — Chandler’s junior league experience, including high-stakes playoffs, is primed to prepare him for the NCAA grind. With four other Bruins draft picks heading to Massachusetts colleges, Chandler is the only one playing within Boston’s city limits — and he’s ready to make the most of it.
