About a month ago Cutter Gauthier decided to return to Boston College for his Sophomore season in 2023-24. Now he will represent Team USA at the World Championships that will begin on May 12.
Gauthier made Team USA for the World Championships, but he was knocked out of a preliminary game a few days ago with a blatant elbow to the head, to which he did not return. Today he is okay, and will play on the fourth line for Team USA in the first leg of the tournament.
This is great news, as he could have been held out for precautionary reasons. Playing in this tournament is a smart move for his development, as it is a great experience for this young man. Especially playing against some NHL’ers, like his soon to be comrade in Scott Laughton who will play for Team Canada.
“If it was easy everyone would do it,” that’s the motto that Flyers top prospect Cutter Gauthier lives by. A goal scorer is blossoming at Boston College, and his name is Cutter Gauthier. Gauthier is a fan favorite already and he has yet to play in one game for the Flyers, “If it was easy everyone would do it. I’ve missed out on a lot of my high school kid things due to the passion of the game, but it’s paid off,” says Gauthier.
A young Gauthier, 18, stands at 6’2 and weighs 189 pounds. Not only is this a solid build for not only a pro hockey player, but this gives the Flyers much needed size down the middle in the future. At first glance, he’s a versatile player that can play both Wing and Center. He played mainly Center for the Boston College Eagles last season, but he reveals that he will play any position that best suits what the coaches needs.
Let’s see how Team USA and Gauthier fare, but the great news is he is okay.
