🏒 You’ve all been asking and here they are! These are our “on paper” picks for the 2026-27 @MIAA033 season. Remember, this is just the preseason: there is a LONG way to go until March and these lists will look quite different. 👀 Rated Rookies start up on Monday!

Yesterday I asked Hagens what people can expect from Letourneau when he goes pro and he said: “He's gonna be a lot of people's favorite player. “He's exciting to watch, and that's gonna lead over to when he’s playing at the Garden. I'm excited to be able to follow those guys this year and hopefully play with him again, so that'll be really cool. “I'm so grateful and so excited that he's a part of the Bruins organization. He’s one of my good buddies.”

Jack Campbell: “I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better.”
STATEMENT FROM JACK CAMPBELL My family and I want to sincerely thank everyone for the overwhelming amount of love, prayers, and support we’ve received over the past few days. It means more to us than words can express. I’m incredibly encouraged by the progress I’ve made in such a short period of time. I have full movement in my lower body, and I’m continuing to make progress with movement in my upper body. I know there’s still work ahead, but I remain very optimistic. I’m taking things one day at a time, staying positive, and focusing on getting better. My faith in God has never been stronger. I know He has a plan for me, and I trust in that plan. I know there may be challenges ahead, but with my faith, my family, and so many people in my corner, I know we’ll get through this. I especially want to thank the athletic trainers and medical personnel who responded and cared for me on the field. I know those were difficult moments, and I’m incredibly grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care you showed me. The way you handled everything and looked after me when I needed it most is something I’ll never forget. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I also can’t say enough about the incredible care I’ve received from the medical team at Henry Ford Hospital and the Detroit Lions medical staff. They’ve been amazing to me and my family throughout this process, and I’m truly grateful for everything they’ve done. To my teammates, coaches, and everyone in the Lions organization, I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you. This team is a family to me, and the way everyone has been there for me means everything. I’m proud to be a Detroit Lion and couldn’t ask to be surrounded by a better group of people. One thing I’ve learned about Detroit is that this city is built on toughness, resilience, and grit. That’s exactly how I’m going to approach this challenge. Please continue to keep me and my family in your prayers. We feel the love, and I can’t thank everyone enough. God is good. My faith is strong. Jack Campbell

Q: Did you know you lead NHL rookies in goals, assists and points? Hagens: I did not. Honestly it’s been really fun just being here, being a part of this. That stuff doesn’t matter when we win. You heard the building tonight, it was one of the best feelings in the world.

This is one of the most special projects I’ve worked on in my career. Danny V was a boss, mentor and friend and I’m so glad we can honor a great man who did so much for others in this way. Danny V has an indelible legacy and I hope this only adds to it. bostonherald.com/2026/10/28/…

Good morning. After blocking three shots last night, James Hagens now leads all NHL forwards in blocks this season with 16.
James Hagens just had a big block on a Roman Josi slapper.
