For 9 speed... I'd expect all the new hubs are 10/11 speed. But I'd think a 9 speed cassette would fit with suitable spacers in there as it's still a hyperglide set of splines from 6 speed up to 11 (only changes shape of the freehub body at 12)
The overall cog spacing on 10 speed cassettes is actually narrower than 9 speed, and many of the Shimano 10 speed road cassettes came with a spacer that allowed you to use them on 9 speed hubs. When Shimano first introduced 10 speed Dura Ace, they also had a new freehub design that was only compatible with the new cassettes (narrower body, taller splines), but they quickly dropped that and just continued with the 9 speed freehub plus spacer for 10 speed...
