Cole Hutson and Cole Eiserman were named to Hockey East's All-Rookie Team with Hutson being a unanimous choice. Earlier in the week, the duo shared the conference's Rookie of the Week Award. 

BU Hockey Stats points out that "For the 18th consecutive season (since 2007-08), a Terrier has been named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team, the next longest active streak is BC with 3." 

The Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Year will be announced prior to the conference semifinals next week. Thirteen Terriers have previously won the R-O-Y: Scott Young, Scott Cashman, Rick DiPietro, Brandon Yip, Kieran Millan, Colin Wilson, Charlie Coyle Jack Eichel, Clayton Keller, David Farrance, Joel Farabee, Lane Hutson and Macklin Celebrini. 

Three schools have had back-to-back Rookies of the Year: BU, BC and Maine. BU has done it twice: Wilson (2008) and Millan (2009), and Lane Hutson (2023) and Celebrini (2024). 

Joining the Terriers on the team were BC's James Hagens and Teddy Stiga, UMass' Francesco Dell'Elce, Vermont's Colin Kessler and UConn's Callum Tung.

“He continues to grow as a player pretty much every game,” head coach Jay Pandolfo said after the Terriers’ 3-0 win over Providence on Feb. 15.
