Oshie\u2019s time is coming.<\/span><\/p>\n

James Hagens has been looking forward to spending some quality time with his dog \u2014 a 12-year-old miniature schnauzer named for former NHL sniper T.J. Oshie \u2014 but the Bruins forward has one more thing on his hockey itinerary before the dog days of summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Read more The Patriots\u2019 2026 schedule will be released Thursday. Here\u2019s what we know.<\/a><\/p>\n

Hagens will suit up for the United States at the IIHF World Championship. The Americans open the tournament Friday against host Switzerland.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It will cap a whirlwind season for Hagens, who started his hockey campaign with Boston College, competed at the World Juniors in December, joined the Providence Bruins in March, and then made his NHL and playoff debuts with the Bruins a month later.<\/span><\/p>\n

When he pulls on Uncle Sam\u2019s colors in Zurich, it\u2019ll be the 19-year-old\u2019s fifth sweater since September.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a lot to take in. It was a really exciting year. This is a dream come true for me,\u201d Hagens said. \u201cSo, to be able to go back home, probably sit down, spend a lot of time with my dog. I haven\u2019t seen him in a while, but yeah, I don\u2019t know. It comes at you quick. So, it\u2019s just being able to kind of relax, spend time with family, kind of wind it back down. But at the same time, you want to be able to get better, so it\u2019s going to be a big offseason. I have a lot to work on, so it\u2019s making sure that you\u2019re prepared for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
