Boston College is well known for being a top destination for high-end talent. That continued on Sunday.
Rocco Pelosi committed to Boston College. He has long been one of the top '09s in the United States.
From Sewell, N.J., Pelosi arrived at Mount St. Charles in 2023-24 after being a top producer for Philadelphia Hockey Club. He notched a whopping 87 goals and 170 points in 64 games for Mount's 14U team. He followed that up with 65 goals and 140 points as a 15O player for Mount St. Charles.
He led Mount St. Charles to USA Hockey national championships in both years.
That helped grow his national profile. As did posting six points in four games at USA Hockey's Select 15 Camp last summer.
But the big development came when he was invited to the U.S. National Team Development Program Evaluation Camp earlier this year and, to no one's surprise, made the team. He will play there starting this fall.
Pelosi is a do-it-all center. At 5-foot-10 and 165 pounds, he can drive play, set up teammates and has a wicked shot. He also supports his defensemen well in the defensive zone. He comes with a large leadership component as well.
Pelosi's older brother, Chris, is entering his sophomore season at Quinnipiac and is a Boston Bruins draft pick. Pelosi will be eligible to be drafted in 2027.
Pelosi joins locals Finn Sears (Medford, Mass.) and Jake Boguniecki (Orange, Conn.) as BC's recruiting class since Aug. 1. All three will play for the NTDP this fall.
