NHL players will have an easier path to completing their college degrees thanks to a new agreement between their union and Boston College. The deal allows current and former players to graduate from BC's Woods College of Advancing Studies, offering flexible options for non-traditional students. NHLPA executive director Marty Walsh, a BC alum, praised the opportunity to earn his degree through the program. The agreement aims to remove barriers for players returning to school, with NHL alums like Brooks Orpik already benefiting from the program. The partnership reflects a commitment to preparing players for success beyond their hockey careers.
