Brandon Gorzynski Announces College Hockey Commitment
Brandon Gorzynski, a recent selection by the Dallas Stars in the NHL Draft, has publicly announced his decision to pursue college hockey at Arizona State University via his Instagram account. He is set to join the Sun Devils starting with the 2026-27 NCAA season to further develop his skills.
Draft Details and Team Selection
Gorzynski was chosen 126th overall in the 2025 NHL Draft, marking him as the second-highest pick for Dallas in that draft year, despite being a fourth-round selection. This reflects the team's extensive trading of draft picks in recent years to bolster their competitive roster.

Hailing from Scottsdale, Arizona, Gorzynski played for the Calgary Hitmen in the Western Hockey League during the past season and plans to return for the 2025-26 campaign. As one of the youngest players on his team, he ranked sixth in team scoring with 17 goals and 42 points over 68 games, posting an impressive +27 rating. He also demonstrated his scoring ability in the WHL playoffs, netting four goals and tallying eight points across 11 postseason games.
