Boston College made history last year, becoming one of only a few college hockey teams to have three players selected in the first round of the NHL draft. One of these players was Massachusetts’ own Matt Boldy, who went 12th overall to the Minnesota Wild.
Facing high expectations upon his arrival on the Heights, Boldy dealt with a scoring drought in the first half of the season after scoring his first goal in the first game, before breaking through and turning the rest of his season around. While he only scored four points in his first 17 games, he went on to score 22 more in the final 17 games before the season was cut short early.
