Noah Hanifin has been going about his business at Boston College for the past season as the youngest player in team history. Despite his youth, he finished second among BC defenders in scoring and five points out of the team lead with 23 points in 37 games. Only Michael Matheson — a 2012 Panthers first rounder — outscored him among fellow Eagles blueliners.
Hanifin has represented the United States at multiple levels in his young career. He captained Team USA at last year's U-17 tournament and won a gold medal. He also won gold at the U-18 Worlds the same year.
