Fresh out of his first NHL development camp with the Boston Bruins, Shawinigan Cataractes forward Cole Chandler was able to secure a commitment to Northeastern University.

Chandler, 18, is coming off of a 32 point (13+19) season with the Cataractes, which lead to his selection in the fifth round of the 2025 NHL entry draft. 

So far the former 2023 16th overall pick has amassed 42 points (16+26) through 89 QMJHL games. 

As of right now, it is unclear if Chandler will join the Huskies for 2026-27 or 2027-28, however he has been confirmed to return to the Cataractes for 2025-26.
