Quinn Beauchesne, a 2007‑born defenseman from Ottawa, Canada, has officially committed to join the Boston College Eagles for the upcoming 2026‑27 season, becoming the 11th incoming freshman for the program.
A Junior Career Defined by Growth
The blue‑liner was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the fifth round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft, a milestone that capped a junior career spent primarily in the Ontario Hockey League with the Guelph Storm.
During his tenure with the Storm, he recorded 35 points — seven goals and 28 assists — over 56 games, while also contributing 51 penalty minutes and delivering solid defensive play.
His performance helped Team Canada capture a bronze medal at the 2024‑25 IIHF World Junior Championship, highlighting his ability to compete on the international stage.
Earlier this season, Beauchesne made his AHL debut with the Wilkes‑Barre/Scranton Penguins, appearing in a single game before returning to junior hockey.
Coaches at Boston College view him as a versatile defenseman who can contribute immediately on the power play and in shutdown situations, expecting him to be a key component of the team's defensive core.
