Raphael-Noah Boiteau Transfers from NCAA Division III to Join Bratislava Capitals

Bratislava, Slovakia — The Bratislava Capitals are proud to announce that forward Raphael-Noah Boiteau has officially transferred from NCAA Division III hockey and will join the organization’s EUCHL program for the upcoming season.

Boiteau brings a strong combination of speed, hockey IQ, and competitive experience developed at the NCAA level. During his time in Division III, he established himself as a reliable two-way player capable of contributing in all situations, while demonstrating consistent work ethic and leadership qualities both on and off the ice.

“Raphael-Noah is exactly the type of player we want in our program,” said Hockey Director Joseph Kolodziej. “He has been developed in a structured NCAA environment and understands what it takes to compete at a high level. We expect him to make an immediate impact in our lineup.  Last time he played in Europe he proved he was a point a night player and we think he can be even better moving forward.”

The move to Bratislava represents an exciting new chapter for Boiteau, who will now continue his academic and athletic career in Europe while competing in the EUCHL. The Capitals’ program is designed to provide student-athletes with a high-performance hockey environment combined with strong academic opportunities in one of Europe’s most vibrant and historic cities.

“I’m extremely excited for this opportunity with the Bratislava Capitals,” said Boiteau. “The chance to continue my development, experience a new culture, and compete at a high level in Europe is something I’m really looking forward to.”

The Bratislava Capitals EUCHL program continues to attract talent from North America and beyond, offering a unique pathway for players seeking to combine education, elite hockey development, and international experience.

Boiteau is expected to join the team ahead of preseason preparations later this year.
