The Utah Hockey Club made a bold move in the 2024 NHL Draft, trading up to select center Cole Beaudoin with the 24th pick. General Manager Bill Armstrong believes Beaudoin’s work ethic and leadership qualities have the potential to transform the organization’s culture.
The decision to trade valuable draft picks for Beaudoin signifies the high regard Utah holds for the young prospect.Armstrong sees Beaudoin as a player who embodies the values of hard work, dedication, and a relentless competitive spirit. He expects Beaudoin to push the pace of play and set a new standard for effort within the team.
Beaudoin himself seems ready to embrace these expectations. He describes himself as a “hard-working, 200-foot centerman” who will give his all in every situation. This commitment extends beyond game time, with Beaudoin dedicating himself to training and preparation.
Beyond his work ethic, Beaudoin boasts strong physical attributes. Standing at 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds, he’s considered one of the draft’s most athletic and physical forwards. This, combined with his scoring prowess (tied for second in the OHL with 62 points), makes him a well-rounded prospect.
Beaudoin is likely to return to the OHL for another season, honing his skills and adapting to the pro game. However, he expresses his ambition to join the NHL as soon as possible. He plans to compete for a roster spot during training camp and believes his style of play will translate well to the NHL level.
The Utah Hockey Club has taken a big swing by selecting Cole Beaudoin. While his NHL debut may be a year or two away, his work ethic, leadership potential, and strong on-ice performance suggest he could be a valuable asset in reshaping the team’s culture and future success.
