NHL.com has them both as top contenders

by Mike McPartlin, Headmaster, Bridgedale Academy

Bridgedale Academy grads Gabe Perreault and Jack Devine were recently featured on the NHL.com website in an article about the leading contenders for the 2024 Hobey Baker Award. 

Gabe is a freshman at Boston College and is presently the leading scorer in the nation in Division 1 college hockey with 45 points (13 goals and 32 assists) in 27 games. His totals also have him leading the nation with 1.67 points per game.

Jack is a junior at Denver University and is presently tied for third in the nation in both goals scored (21) and points (42). Jack is also an NCAA D1 National Champion, having won that honor in 2022 along with fellow Bridgedale grad Sean Behrens.

Both young men are NHL draftees. Gabe was selected by the New York Rangers in the first round of the 2023 draft (23rd overall) and Jack was selected by the Florida Panthers in the seventh round of the 2022 draft (221st overall).

Congratulations to Gabe (and his parents Yanic and July) and Jack (and parents Ted and Val) on their outstanding seasons and recognition as top contenders for the Hober Baker Award.
