Playing career
Collegiate
At the time the Bruins drafted him, Swayman had already committed to playing college ice hockey for the University of Maine, beginning in the 2017–18 season.[13] Swayman made his collegiate hockey debut on October 7, 2017, making 26 saves but taking the loss in Maine's 5–1 defeat against UConn.[14] After making 40 saves to give the Black Bears a 5–2 win over Boston University on November 17, the Hockey East conference named Swayman their Rookie of the Week.[15] He received the award again on January 8 after posting his first career shutout, stopping all 31 shots he faced in a 3–0 win over Boston University.[16] He was named the Hockey East Rookie of the Month for the month of January after going 4–2–2 with a conference rookie-leading .928 SV% and 2.34 GAA in eight games.[17] Swayman finished his freshman season with a .920 SV% and 2.74 GAA, while his 15–13–3 record was the best of any Maine rookie goaltender since Ben Bishop. He was named to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team and was an All-Star Honorable Mention.[18]
Swayman's first Hockey East honor of the 2018–19 season came on November 19, when he was named the Defensive Player of the Week after making 79 saves in a two-game series against Boston University.[19] He won the award again on December 3 after stopping 74 shots in a two-game series against Vermont.[20] On January 25, Swayman made a career-high 53 saves in Maine's 4–3 upset win over UMass.[21] After going 5–2–1 with a .918 SV% and 2.86 GAA in the month of February, with 30 or more saves in six of his outings, Swayman was named the Hockey East Goaltender of the Month.[22] Swayman finished his sophomore season with a .919 SV%, a 2.77 GAA, and a 14–17–4 record in 35 games, and he was named to the All-Hockey East Third Team.[4][23]
After a difficult start to the 2019–20 season, in which Swayman made 52 saves but Maine lost 7–0 to Providence, Swayman posted a .962 SV% and 1.22 GAA in the next six games.[24] He was named the Hockey East Goaltender of the Month for February 2020 after going 4–2–1 with 210 saves for the month, including two shutouts.[25] Swayman finished the season with an 18–11–5 record, .939 SV%, 2.07 GAA, and led all NCAA Division I goaltenders with 1,099 saves for the year. He earned a number of accolades at the end of the season, beginning with the Walter Brown Award, given to the top American-born college hockey player in New England.[26] Hockey East named him a First-Team All-Star,[27] the Goaltending Champion,[28] and the Player of the Year.[29] He was also an All-USCHO Second Team honoree,[30] the first Maine goaltender to receive CCM/AHCA All-American East first-team honors since Spencer Abbott in 2012,[31] and the New England Hockey Writers Association named him their Leonard Fowle New England MVP.[32] He was the runner-up for the Hobey Baker Award, given to the top men's college ice hockey player in the United States, an honor which went that year to Scott Perunovich of the Minnesota Duluth Bulldogs.[33] Swayman closed out the 2020 awards season with the Mike Richter Award, given to the top NCAA Division I men's ice hockey goaltender of the year.[34]
At the conclusion of the 2019–20 season, Swayman announced that he would be leaving Maine to begin his professional hockey career with the Bruins. He finished his college career as Maine's all-time leader with 3,130 saves and 5,906:45 minutes played, while his 2.51 GAA was fifth in franchise history and his .927 SV% was behind only Jimmy Howard.[35]

Swayman made his international ice hockey debut when he was selected to represent the United States junior team at the 2018 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Buffalo, New York.[64] As the third goaltender behind Jake Oettinger and Joseph Woll, Swayman received limited playing time in the tournament outside of an exhibition game against Sweden and the bronze-medal match against the Czech Republic.[65] Swayman played in the final 3 minutes and 19 seconds of the third-place game, allowing no goals as Team USA defeated the Czech Republic 9–3 to take the bronze medal.[66]
Following an injury to Alex Nedeljkovic of the Detroit Red Wings, Swayman joined the United States national team for the 2022 IIHF World Championship in Finland.[67] He recorded a shutout in his first World Championship appearance, stopping all 17 shots he faced in a 3–0 win over Great Britain.[68] The United States team finished in fourth place, losing the bronze-medal match 8–4 to Czechia. Swayman allowed seven goals in the game but finished the tournament with a .909 SV%, 2.23 GAA, and two shutouts.[69]
Personal life
During the 2021–22 NHL season, Swayman and fellow Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark went viral for the hugs they gave each other after games.[70] The ritual began after the Bruins won their home opener, after which Swayman said, "I don't think it's leaving, it was perfect".[71]
