The signing follows the conclusion of Eiserman’s sophomore season at Boston University, which ended this past weekend with a loss to UConn in the Hockey East quarterfinals. He is expected to begin his professional journey with the AHL's Bridgeport Islanders as they push for a playoff spot.
In 64 career games with the Terriers, he registered 38 goals and 19 assists for 57 points.
Eiserman arrived at BU as a record-breaker from the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (NTDP), where he set the all-time program records for both goals (127) and power-play goals (52).
He has been a staple for Team USA on the world stage, most recently competing at the 2026 World Junior Championship in January, where he recorded three points in five games. He previously won Gold (2025) and Silver (2024) at the U20 and U18 levels, respectively
