Denver and Boston University to Face Off in NCAA Frozen Four Semifinal

Boston University ’s Macklin Celebrini advances the puck up the ice against Rochester during the third period of an NCAA men’s college hockey tournament regional game Thursday, March 28, 2024, in Sioux Falls, S.D. Zeev Buium has known Macklin Celebrini since they were 14 years old, when they were at the same prestigious youth hockey program together.

Celebrini is the headliner for the No. 2-seeded Terriers. He has been the presumptive No. 1 pick in the 2024 NHL draft for essentially two hockey seasons now, and the gap between him and the rest of his class has widened after he authored one of the great freshman seasons in NCAA history. He also grew up playing at the same Vancouver rink as Connor Bedard, which means there will likely be back-to-back No. 1 picks who honed their skills at North Shore Winter Club.

Celebrini has 32 goals and 64 points in 37 games. He’s one of three finalists for the Hobey Baker Award, along with North Dakota’s Jackson Blake and Boston College’s Cutter Gauthier. The Terriers have lots of other future NHL players as well, including top Canadiens prospect Lane Hutson and 2023 first-round pick Tom Wallinder, but Celebrini is obviously the center of attention for BU and likely will be for the Pioneers on Thursday at Xcel Energy Center.
