After attending Leonard’s Capitals debut some 24 hours earlier, the crew of Eagles players headed to New York to support Perreault.

The Boston College hockey players were in attendance at Madison Square Garden to see the NHL debut of Rangers rookie Gabe Perreault.

Chris Kreider, like Perreault, played at Boston College. Like Perreault, Kreider was selected by the Rangers in the first round of the NHL Draft; Kreider chosen No. 19 in 2009, and Perreault No. 23 in 2023. Like Perreault, Kreider went to the NHL after playing in the NCAA Tournament.
