Roberto Henriquez, a 19-year-old goaltender born in Bratislava, Slovakia, was selected by the Boston Bruins in the sixth round, 170th overall, in the 2026 NHL Draft — the second goaltender Boston took in this draft class. The 6-foot-1, 165-pound netminder had one of the most efficient seasons of any goaltender in North American junior hockey this year.
Henriquez led the entire USHL in save percentage during his draft season and was named to the league’s All-USHL Second Team, a notable accomplishment in a deep development league that regularly sends goaltenders into the NHL pipeline. He’s set to play his college hockey close to home, having committed to Boston College for the 2026-27 season — a program the Bruins have made a habit of keeping a prospect at nearly every year.
Henriquez played his draft season with the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers, going 21-9-4 with a 2.22 GAA, a .921 save percentage, and two shutouts across 37 games, continuing his development as one of the most statistically dominant goaltenders to come out of the USHL this year.
