When you get compared to Cole Caufield or Auston Matthews you must have an elite shot. Cole Eiserman does and he will be vying for the first overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft with teammate Macklin Celebrini. Playing for Shattuck-Saint Mary’s in the 2020-2021 season he put up huge numbers, tallying 97 goals and 57 assists for 154 points in only 50 games. Only two players, Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews, recorded more goals for Shattuck’s U18 team as a 15 year old.
Eiserman has played for Team USA’s U-17 and U-18 programs and scored 20 points in 7 games, ranking second in scoring at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. Eiserman originally was committed to the University of Minnesota but later decommitted and elected to play hockey at Boston University. He will be joining Boston University for the 2024-2025 season.
Eiserman played for the U.S. National Development Team in 2023-2024 and was spectacular. The youngster scored 25 goals and 9 assists in 24 games for the U.S. squad. However, he seemed to lose some footing as the #2 prospect in the draft. A lot of scouts felt like Eiserman played a one-way game and his defense was nonexistent.
