Editor’s Note: While we make our best efforts to gather information and make accurate projections regarding future members of the Northeastern Hockey family, we are fans first and foremost, not affiliates of the Northeastern Men’s Ice Hockey program. All speculation should be seen as speculation, not representative of facts nor of the opinions of the coaches or program.
The NCAA is expected to adopt a policy change in June 2026 to offer 5 years of eligibility to players who enroll at or before 19 years of age. It is not assumed on this chart that a player will return to Northeastern for a fifth year unless it has been announced. Current players who may be eligible for a fifth year have this status noted in their first appearance on the table. For future players projected to enroll at 19 or earlier, this is marked in their projected enrollment year. For players who enrolled or are projected to enroll at or after age 21, their reduced eligibility is reflected.
