Cole Eiserman
American ice hockey player
Cole Eiserman (born August 29, 2006) is an American professional ice hockey player who is a left winger under contract as a prospect to the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was selected in the first round, 20th overall, by the New York Islanders in the 2024 NHL entry draft.
Playing career
Playing for Shattuck-Saint Mary's in the 2020–21 season, Eiserman scored 97 goals and 57 assists for 154 points in 50 games. Only two players, Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews, recorded more goals for Shattuck's under-18 team at 15 years old. Following his time with Shattuck, Eiserman joined the USA Hockey National Team Development Program (USNTDP), where in the 2022–23 season he recorded 69 goals and 104 points.
Entering the 2023–24 season, Eiserman's shooting talent, physical edge, and work ethic led him to be viewed as one of the top prospects eligible for the 2024 NHL entry draft, and a potential challenger to Macklin Celebrini as the first overall selection. Concerns about his game, described as "one dimensional" and "selfish", specifically his lack of defensive ability and reliance on teammates to generate high-danger chances, led to his draft stock slipping from a top two draft prospect to a projected mid-first round pick. Despite the doubts about his game, he had a very successful second term with the NTDP, breaking Cole Caufield's program scoring record with 127 goals in his 119-game NTDP career.
Eiserman originally committed to playing college ice hockey for the University of Minnesota, but changed his commitment in September 2023 to Boston University in order to play closer to home.
Despite being one of the top goal-scorers available in the first round, Eiserman was picked 20th overall by the New York Islanders in the 2024 NHL entry draft.

The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2026.
