Meet James Hagens: The Rising Star of BC Hockey

James Hagens, a forward for the team, wears the number 10 jersey and hails from Hauppauge, NY. Standing at 5’11”, Hagens had a productive last season, playing as the first-line center alongside Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard. Despite high expectations, he fell to 7th overall in the NHL Draft due to slightly lower-than-expected stats. However, he still had standout moments, like his buzzer-beating assist and game-winning goal.

This season, Hagens will continue to be a key player for BC, likely centering the top line again. He has worked on his game during the off-season, gaining weight to better compete against larger opponents. With the draft pressure behind him, Hagens is expected to have a strong sophomore year, taking on a more assertive role on the ice.

A fun fact about Hagens is that he has a sponsorship deal with Chipotle.
