Playing career
In August 2013, McAvoy committed to play college hockey at Boston University.
McAvoy played for the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in the United States Hockey League for two seasons. During the 2015-16 NCAA men's ice hockey season, BU coach David Quinn paired McAvoy with star BU defenseman Matt Grzelcyk, already selected as a third round 2012 NHL Entry Draft pick by the Boston Bruins. McAvoy was part of the gold medal-winning team at the 2015 IIHF World U18 Championships. He was also a member of the bronze medal-winning U-20 team at the 2016 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.
Leading up to the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, McAvoy was highly regarded by scouts and was considered one of the top four defensemen available.
McAvoy was a member of the USA team that won gold in the 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships. He was awarded Player of the Game honors in the gold-medal game.
Personal life
Born to Charles and Jennifer McAvoy, McAvoy grew up in Long Beach, New York with older sister Kayla and younger sisters Holly and Heather. He is also the owner of an English Mastiff, Mack. He attended Long Beach High School for one year before moving to Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, Michigan when he joined the USA Hockey developmental team.
McAvoy grew up a New York Rangers fan and says he was a big fan of defenseman Brian Leetch. He also has named current Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh as a favorite, and says he tries to emulate Colorado Avalanche defenseman Tyson Barrie.
