Free agent Hayden Stavroff\u00a0of Dartmouth will be at the Kings Development Camp this summer, <a href=\"https:\/\/mayorsmanor.com\/2026\/04\/kings-add-college-hockeys-leading-goal-scorer-and-top-ufa-defenseman-to-upcoming-dev-camp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">as reported by<\/a> Mayor&#8217;s Manoor.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stavroff, 21, a sophomore, was the\u00a0ECAC&#8217;s Player of the Year this season, and led the NCAA with 29 goals in a big breakout season. He had just 10 in his freshman year. Overall, he posted 48 points in 35 games with a plus\/minus rating of +15.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He was also named\u00a0Ivy League Player of the Year and was a Hobey Baker Top 10 finalist.<\/p>\n<p>This will be Stavroff&#8217;s second go-round in an NHL team&#8217;s Development Camp, as he attended the Washington Capitals camp for top prospects and potential future NHLers last summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dartmouth head coach Reid Cashman told Mayor&#8217;s Manor,\u00a0\u201cI haven\u2019t seen anybody else in college hockey have the puck come off their stick the way it does for Hayden.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Yea&#8230;..good luck stopping that<\/p>\n<p>Hayden Stavroff goes bar south for his 16TH of the year!<\/p>\n<p>Gameday Central \u27a1\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bpPL1SgtzY\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/bpPL1SgtzY<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GoBigGreen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#GoBigGreen<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheWoods?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#TheWoods<\/a>\ud83c\udf32 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/J3OA23Zqo4\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/J3OA23Zqo4<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dartmouth Men&#8217;s Hockey (@Dartmouth_MIH) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Dartmouth_MIH\/status\/2009788424459546921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 10, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He is the best college goal scorer I have ever seen.
