Jack Williams made his NHL debut with the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2024-25 season, marking a significant milestone as one of the few Maine-born players to reach the NHL level. The 23-year-old right wing, signed as an undrafted free agent on March 25, 2025, appeared in one game for the Blue Jackets, recording a +1 rating while averaging 11:09 of ice time and 14 shifts. Williams joined the Blue Jackets organization following an impressive collegiate career at Northeastern University, where he served as team captain for two seasons. His transition to professional hockey came after completing his senior year, during which he demonstrated strong offensive capabilities with 41 points in 37 games at the NCAA level.
His development will likely be closely monitored by the front office led by President of Hockey Operations Don Waddell as the team evaluates his potential role for the 2025-26 season.
