Mini bio
How it started.
Eichel grew up in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Before Boston University, he played for the Boston Junior Bruins and USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program, helping the United States win Under-18 world championship gold in 2014.
The college breakout.
His one season at Boston University brought 71 points, the national scoring lead and the 2015 Hobey Baker Award. He became only the second freshman to win the award, following Paul Kariya. Buffalo selected him second overall in the 2015 NHL Draft.
A new chapter in Vegas.
After six seasons with Buffalo, Eichel moved to Vegas in 2021. A neck injury and artificial disk replacement surgery interrupted his career, but he returned to win the Stanley Cup in 2023. In his first NHL postseason, he led all players with 26 points and 20 assists.
Playing for his country.
International hockey has followed him from the junior ranks to Team USA’s senior team. In February 2026, he added Olympic gold in Milan to his Stanley Cup championship.
