The 2024 NCAA D1 Hockey Tournament began on Thursday, but none of the games featured the Blue Jackets prospects in the tournament.
Here's a Blue Jackets fan's guide to the 2024 NCAA Tournament:
Who's Playing
- Boston College defenseman Aidan Hreschuk (94th overall in 2021), Wisconsin forward William Whitelaw (No. 66 overall in 2023), and Michigan forward Gavin Brindley (34th overall in 2023).
- Boston College has the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament and is in the Providence Regional, Wisconsin has the No. 2 seed in the Providence Regional, and Michigan has the No. 3 seed in the Maryland Heights, Missouri, Regional.
