Before entering the league, Eichel was described at the age of 17 as “the new face of American hockey,” and he was considered a member of a rising class of generational talents in the sport. Eichel was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, and grew up in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts. He played for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program team during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons and was recognized for his outstanding play during the 2013–14 season when he was named to the United States Hockey League Second All-Star Team.
