!!! THE OFFICIAL COLE HUSTON & COLE EISERMAN PRIMER !!!

THE BASICS: -> Cole Hutson (aka Hutty)

DOB: 06/28/2006

Hails from: Chicago, Illinois

3rd oldest brother of the infamous Hutsons, behind former Terrier teammates Quinn (Edmonton Oilers) and Lane (Montreal Canadiens), younger brother Lars is in his early teens

Cole has said with both his older brothers already at Boston University, there was really no other choice for him to go for his college career!

Defenseman, Washington Capitals prospect

Cole is an insanely talented defenseman; I'm just going to post some of his awards from his BU profile which will speak for themselves:

National Rookie of the Year

Hockey East Rookie of the Year

Hockey East First Team All-Star

Hockey East All-Rookie Team

National Rookie of the Month (Feb. 2025)

Hockey East Rookie of the Month (Feb. 2025)

-> Cole Eiserman (aka Eisy)

DOB: 08/29/2006

Hails from: Newburyport, Massachusetts

4th oldest in his family; has a twin brother, Caden, and three older brothers Billy, Chris, and Shane. Shane was a 4th round draft pick to the Ottawa Senators, otherwise the rest of his family is involved in the military. Eisy famously attended Shattuck-St. Mary's and roomed with Macklin Celebrini.

He almost didn't attend Boston University; his family has ties to the Minnesota Golden Gophers who he had verbally committed to, but he switched to BU last minute due to family-related events.

Forward, New York Islanders Prospect

Cole is known for being a consistently dynamic scorer and a true danger when he has the puck; let me share some of his accolades to show just that:

Hockey East All-Rookie Team

Hockey East Rookie of the Month (Oct. 2024)

NCAA Toledo All-Regional Team

Hockey East Rookie of the Week (3/31, 3/17, 3/10, 11/18, 10/21)

Hockey East All-Academic Team (2024-25) (Cole has been seen bragging about his 4.0 in interviews at BU, so he obviously takes school seriously; we love an academic!)

TEAMS THEY HAVE PLAYED ON TOGETHER: NTDP (2022-2024), World Juniors Team USA (25, 26), Boston University (2024-2026)

THE SHIP: COLE SQUARED

So why should you ship them? Honestly, the easiest answer is that these two have been friends for years (they have said they've known each other since they were seven years-old) and since joining the NTDP in 2022, they've played on every team together. From Michigan to Boston, the Coles have been inseparable. They're literally roommates, spend time with each other's families (I'm not posting because children but there are several pictures of Hutty holding little Eiserman nieces on his lap at Eiserman family events), have their delightfully awkward coffee review TikToks, and are just plain weird about each other. Hutty is the quieter of the two with a more subtle sense of humor (ignore his whole obsession with 6 7...) while Eisy is a known yapper who will talk to anyone who listens to him (or doesn't). They're just the best of friends, are comfortable around each other, and wherever one is, the other is never far behind.

Long story short: they've been in love the whole time, and it existed long before Hutty's scary injury. So come and join me in loving their weirdness - they're just two dumb 19 year-old boys who have weathered this hockey adventure together, remained close friends, and wandered directly into "Are they friends?" "Worse!" territory with gusto! And not to belabor the injury, but to let Eisy speak about Hutty in his own words (per NHL.com):
