Former Boston College men’s hockey forward Patrick Giles made his NHL debut over the weekend with the Florida Panthers. 

Giles was on the ice for 7 minutes and 34 seconds in the Panthers 5-2 loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday. 

Giles wrote about the experience in the Panthers Postcard. 

“I was just trying to take it all in. From the second I got on the ice through the national anthem, my first shift and just throughout the game, I was just really trying to enjoy it every step of the way. It ended up being a loss, but it’s a night I’ll never forget,” said Giles. “A lot of the guys were just telling me to enjoy it because you only get one of these.”

Giles spent four seasons with the Eagles (2018-22) where he appeared in 108 games and tallied 22 goals and 23 assists for 45 points. He also served an assistant captain during his junior and senior campaigns.
