Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Dumoulin scored 7 goals with 23 assists in 41 regular season games for the New Hampshire Jr. Monarchs of the EJHL. He added 3 assists in 7 playoff games. Committed to Boston College.
2009-10: Despite being one of the youngest freshmen in the country, Dumoulin appeared in all 42 games for the national champion Boston College Eagles - scoring 1 goal with 21 assists. Even more impressive was his plus/minus rating of +40. Dumoulin was selected to the Hockey East All-Rookie and Frozen Four All-Tournament teams.
2010-11: Dumoulin was one of the top defensemen in college hockey as a sophomore for Boston College, which captured Hockey East's regular season and playoff championships. He also competed for the bronze-medal winning USA squad at the 2011 World Junior U-20 championships. Dumoulin had 30 assists (second-most on the Eagles to forward Brian Gibbons) and scored 3 goals with a +23 plus/minus in 37 games. Dumoulin scored two of his three goals on the power play - including a game-winner against Boston University and the fifth goal to seal a 5-3 win over Merrimack in the Hockey East Championship game. In six games for Team USA, he had two assists and a team-best +4 plus/minus.
Talent Analysis
An offensive, play making defenseman, Dumoulin plays with the poise of a much more experienced player despite a relatively limited background of high school hockey in Maine and one year of junior hockey in the EJHL. Despite his height (6'3") he skates with the fluidity of a much smaller player and is reliable in his defensive zone.
Future
Dumoulin had a dream season as a freshman at Boston College, winning a national championship and establishing himself as one of the top defensemen in college hockey. Dumoulin, who turns 18 in September was invited to the evaluation camp for USA Hockey's U-20 team this summer and should only improve as he matures physically and begins to fill out his large frame. Appears to have the temperament and mental smarts to be a top pairing defenseman down the road.
