JAMES HAGENS
At Titan BattleGear, we align with athletes who define the next era of hockey. James Hagens is one of them.
Now officially drafted by the Boston Bruins, Hagens has already transitioned from elite prospect to proven winner on the biggest stages in the sport. His selection by one of the NHL’s most storied franchises was the natural next step for a player who has consistently delivered under pressure, against top competition, and on the international stage.
Before turning pro, Hagens built one of the most dominant junior resumes in recent history. After developing through the USA Hockey National Team Development Program, he announced himself globally at the IIHF U18 World Championship, where he recorded 22 points in seven games. That performance shattered a long standing tournament scoring record and cemented his reputation as a generational offensive talent.
Hagens followed that up with a gold medal run at the World Juniors, centering the top line for Team USA. Competing against the best young players in the world, he played a central role in Team USA’s championship run, combining elite playmaking, pace, and composure in the highest pressure moments the tournament offers.
Those traits are exactly why James Hagens is Titan BattleGear’s premier athlete. His game is built on speed, deception, edge work, and relentless compete level. That demands equipment that does not compromise protection, comfort, or performance. Titan exists to meet that standard. When Hagens steps on the ice wearing Titan, it is a direct reflection of our mission to engineer the safest, most advanced protective apparel in hockey.
James Hagens represents the future of the game.
Titan BattleGear exists to protect it.
Together, we conquer.
