The 2008-born boys hockey players around the world are still far away from playing college hockey.
That doesn't mean they haven't been top of mind for college hockey coaches.
Many of the August and September commits were from the 2008 birth year as many began their junior year in high school this fall, allowing them to be verbally offered.
They will be monitored by college coaches over the next 12 months. Some 2008-born players haven't even become eligible to be offered yet.
Here is our database of all 2008-born players committed to New England Division 1 colleges, as well as locals committing outside the region.
Players, parents and coaches are welcome to submit updates. Please send additions to [email protected] and include the following: name, hometown, birthday, position, shoots/catches, school/club and college.
