Mike Hardman's story
A concrete early milestone in Mike Hardman’s story came during the spring of 2021, when a university forward made the leap to the professional ranks. After two seasons with the Boston College Eagles, Hardman earned an entry-level contract despite not being selected in the NHL Draft, choosing the development route of NCAA hockey in place of being drafted.
On 30 March 2021 he agreed to terms with the Chicago Blackhawks, signing an entry-level deal that brought him straight into the NHL picture for the close of the 2020–21 season. The move underscored how his college stint had prepared him to step up quickly when an NHL opportunity appeared.
Hardman made his NHL debut on 27 April 2021 against the Tampa Bay Lightning. He notched his first NHL goal and point in his fifth game on 4 May 2021, scoring in a 6–3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes against goaltender Petr Mrázek. Those early games provided tangible landmarks in his transition from collegiate hockey to the highest professional level.
On 1 July 2024 he signed a two-year, two-way contract with the New Jersey Devils, a fresh organizational chapter that extended his North American professional career. That contract reflected a continued presence in NHL organizations while allowing for movement between leagues as the club saw fit.
After completing his time with the Devils, Hardman took his first contract abroad, signing a one-year deal with Swedish club HV71 of the SHL on 25 August 2026. His game is straightforward and assertive: a forward who converted a solid college foundation into a professional career, marking progress through seizing opportunities and registering early contributions at the NHL level.
