Do Not Sleep On Long Island Native Mikey Hagens, The Brother Of James Hagens
Long Island native Mikey Hagens, the older brother of Bruins forward James Hagens, is looking to make a name for himself and carve out his own path to the NHL.
KINGS PARK, NY — James Hagens has become a standout name around these parts after a dominant Boston College career before making it to the NHL with the Boston Bruins less than a year after hearing his name called eighth overall at the 2025 NHL Draft.
But his older brother, Mikey Hagens, is someone everyone should be paying attention to.

KINGS PARK, NY — About seven years ago, a group of top Long Island hockey players, many of them good friends, decided to start a summer league at Superior Ice Rink in Kings Park.
Mikey, two years older than James, is an undrafted free agent headed to the University of Vermont for the 2026-27 season after spending two years at Boston College.
Unfortunately for Mikey, he didn’t get the opportunity to shine at BC like his brother after top picks came aboard, moving him farther and farther down the blueline depth chart.
But I wouldn’t be sleeping on the big brother and undrafted free agent if I were you.
