DUBUQUE, IA - Fighting Saints defenseman Kristian Kostadinski has announced his commitment to play Division I hockey at Boston College.

Kostadinski is set to begin his debut USHL season with the Fighting Saints, towering over opponents at 6-6 and 220 points. The Göteborg, Sweden native comes to Dubuque after becoming a Boston Bruins 7th round pick in the 2023 NHL Draft.

"We are excited for Kristian," said general manager Trevor Edwards. "Boston College will be getting an elite person first and foremost. He is an everyday player that works extremely hard at his craft. He sets the tone for everyone around him."
