Nolan Joyce is a Boston College commit and a Dedham, MA native who is expected to make his debut for the Eagles next year, in the 2023-24 season. But first he is eligible for the 2022 NHL Draft!
Joyce is a defenseman coming out of playing in the US High School Prep league this past season and will spend 2022-23 with the West Kelowna Warriors of the BCHL for a year of development. This is very common for high-level hockey players to do between high school and college, and is part of the reason we continue to see 24, 25, and 26-year-olds on NCAA rosters (along with other reasons).
