Early life
Beecher was born on April 5, 2001, in Elmira, New York[1] to parents Bill and Natasha.[2] Although his parents were collegiate athletes, they did not play ice hockey. His father played lacrosse and golf at Elmira College while his mother ran track and cross-country at Union College.[3] Beecher began ice skating when he was six years old after spending the summer playing roller hockey and immediately made the local travel team.[4] Beyond ice hockey, Beecher also played soccer, football, baseball, and lacrosse.[3] Beecher and his older brother Bryce played together until 2015 when his brother had to get his hips replaced due to him being born with congenital hip dysplasia.[4]
Playing career
Beecher began his collegiate career at the University of Michigan during the 2019–20 season. During his three seasons at Michigan, he recorded 19 goals and 20 assists in 81 games for the Wolverines.[5]
On April 13, 2022, Beecher signed an amateur tryout contract with the Bruins' AHL affiliate, the Providence Bruins, for the remainder of the 2021–22 season.[6][7] He contributed with 5 points through the remaining 9 regular season games, and made 2 post-season appearances with 1 point for Providence.
On May 16, 2022, Beecher was signed to a three-year, entry-level deal with the Boston Bruins.[8]
On November 6, 2023, Beecher scored his first NHL goal and first NHL point, at 10:21 of the first period in a 3–2 win over the Dallas Stars. He was assisted by Hampus Lindholm.
