"Entering the 2024 NHL Draft, Cole Eiserman saw his draft stock plummet from a potential first overall pick down to No. 20, where the NY Islanders selected him. Despite having the elite shot, capable of beating goaltenders at any level, the knock on Eiserman was how effective he would be when he's not scoring. Among those concerns was his leadership capabilities. But those questions are being put to rest as Eiserman was named an Alternate Captain for his sophomore season at Boston University."
"Eiserman, 19, is looking to improve on his stellar freshman campaign for the Terriers, scoring 25 goals, leading BU as they advanced to the finals of the Frozen Four, only to be toppled by Western Michigan. Coincidentally enough, Eiserman will first don the 'A' on his sweater at home against Long Island University, the school that shares a facility with the Islanders."
"Playing as a crucial piece for Team USA in their Gold Medal triumph at the 2025 World Junior Championship, Eiserman will, in all likelihood, play a bigger role in the 2026 rendition of the tournament, and could potentially see himself earning a leadership position representing his country as the Stars and Stripes look to make it a three-peat on home soil."
Cole Eiserman's draft stock dropped from a potential first overall pick to No. 20 where the NY Islanders selected him despite an elite shot. Questions arose about his effectiveness when not scoring and about his leadership capabilities. Eiserman was named an alternate captain for his sophomore season at Boston University under head coach Jay Pandolfo. Pandolfo's no-nonsense ideology and experience under Lou Lamoriello underpin confidence in Eiserman's readiness for added responsibility. Eiserman scored 25 goals as a freshman and helped BU reach the Frozen Four final. He played a key role in Team USA's 2025 World Junior Championship gold and projects as a potential leader for 2026.
