Gabe Perreault's story
Born in Sherbrooke and raised in Hinsdale, Illinois, Gabe Perreault learned his hockey in a family steeped in the sport. As the youngest son of former NHL player Yanic Perreault, he moved through the U.S. development system and stood out early for his playmaking and point production with national youth teams.
During his draft year with the U.S. National Team Development Program, Perreault posted 53 goals and 79 assists for 132 points, the single-season record for points and assists in the USNTDP. That season, and his overall output in the program, put him on draft radars ahead of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, where the New York Rangers selected him 23rd overall.
Perreault then spent two seasons at Boston College. In 2023–24 he scored 19 goals and added 41 assists in 36 games, finishing near the top of NCAA leaders in assists; in 2024–25 he put up 16 goals and 32 assists in 37 contests. Across 73 collegiate games he totaled 35 goals and 73 assists, earning spots on Hockey East all-star lists and national recognition as an AHCA East Second Team All-American.
He turned pro by signing a three-year entry-level contract with the Rangers on 31 March 2025 and made his NHL debut on 2 April against the Minnesota Wild, playing five games that season. After starting 2025–26 in the AHL with Hartford, he was recalled on 9 November following a strong run in Hartford; his first NHL point came the next day with an assist vs. Nashville, his first NHL goal followed on 18 December against St. Louis, and he scored his first NHL hat trick on 4 April 2026 in a win over Detroit.
Internationally, Perreault helped the United States capture gold at the 2023 U18 World Championship and then back-to-back World Junior golds in 2024 and 2025. He produced three goals and seven assists in seven games at both World Junior tournaments and was named to the media all-star team in 2025. Observers highlight his offensive intelligence and playmaking — a player who sees the ice and finds high-danger opportunities — while noting skating speed as an area identified for continued development.
