Windsor, ON - In a groundbreaking move following the NCAA Division I Council's move to make Canadian Hockey League players eligible for NCAA DI hockey programs announced in November of 2024, Windsor Spitfires defenceman Carson Woodall joins a few former Spitfires in blazing a trail.

The 19-year-old defenceman from Belle River, ON. announced his commitment to Boston College Eagles men's hockey program via the Windsor Spitfires PR department on Wednesday morning for the 2026-2027 season.

He has 8 postseason games and has 2 goals and 2 assists for 4 points. Woodall has increased his point production each season and currently has a career high 9 goals and 45 assists for 54 points. He currently leads the OHL in assists and points by a defenceman.

Woodall is excited to extend his hockey career.

"I am super excited and grateful to have this opportunity to continue my education and hockey career at Boston College." Carson Woodall said. "I am super thankful for everyone who has supported me in Windsor."

Windsor selected Woodall in the tenth round of the 2022 OHL Priority Selection, 202nd overall. He played for one year with the Lasalle Vipers the GOHL affiliate of the Spitfires before making the jump to the OHL.

Boston College is located in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The Eagles hockey program has a storied history with 5 NCAA National Championships: 1949, 2001, 2008, 2010, 2012.
