A teen hasn’t played for the U.S. Olympic men’s hockey team in more than 25 years. That streak may end next month.

Don’t be surprised if Joseph Woll, a 19-year-old Boston College sophomore, is named to the PyeongChang squad this month, Darren Dreger said on NBCSN on Wednesday night.

Woll has started four of the five U.S. games at the ongoing world junior championships in Buffalo, tallying a .905 save percentage and 2.26 goals-against average.

The U.S. plays Sweden in the semifinals Thursday at 4 p.m. ET.

“This young guy Joseph Woll is turning heads,” Dreger said.
