A number of the rule changes proposed by the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee have the Division I coaches up in arms. Terrier Head Coach Jack Parker told The Daily Free Press which ones he opposes and why, including eliminating the icing exemption when a team is killing a penalty. He also explains his support for two of the proposed changes.
Parker also discusses the status of right wing Yasin Cissé who will rejoin the 2010 recruit class, provided his injured ankle tendon continue to heal. With the 6-3, 210 Cissé in the fold, BU has, for now, 14 forwards for 2010-11, one fewer than usual.

The 185-pound Gill has become a physical presence, pasting defencemen in their zone and freeing pucks for Connor and Kellen (Jones). He says, “As a 16-year old, I was a little timid, but I wanted to hit more this year because it’s a big part of the game, and I realized that you won’t have to fight some big bruiser just because you body check someone. Besides, those Jones kids really lay some licks, and I wanted to keep up with them.”
