Kohyn Eshkawkogan, a 2008-born defenseman, announced his verbal commitment to Penn State’s Nittany Lions hockey program, marking the next chapter of his development.
During the 2025‑26 Ontario Hockey League season he appeared in 68 games for the Ottawa 67’s, contributing 45 assists and 53 points while earning a spot on the First All‑Rookie Team. His 53 points placed him among the league’s top defensemen, tying for eighth in overall scoring and second among blue‑liners for assists.
Acknowledging Support and Future Plans
Eshkawkogan took the opportunity to thank his family, coaches, teammates and the Ottawa 67’s organization for their role in his growth, and he outlined his intention to join Penn State for the 2027‑28 season.
The 17‑year‑old is slated to be eligible for the NHL Draft, where he is projected as a first‑ or second‑round prospect, and his commitment reflects a strategic choice to blend academic opportunity with elite competition.
