Though the team hasn’t made it official yet, the Boston Bruins have signed prospect Jeremy Swayman to an entry-level contract. The University of Maine announced the deal on Twitter, congratulating their Hobey Baker-nominated goaltender on turning pro.
Swayman, 21, just finished his third season at Maine, in which he registered a .939 save percentage as one of the best goaltenders in the country. In fact, the young goalie was recently awarded the Walter Brown Award, presented to the top American-born college player in New England.
Though he may play hockey in Maine, Swayman actually hails from Anchorage, Alaska and was a fourth-round pick of the Bruins in 2017. He will be signing a three-year entry-level contract and immediately adds another interesting goaltending prospect to the Bruins’ system.
