Looking ahead
Three future Terriers were among the players on the NHL's initial players to watch list for the 2012 draft. 2013 recruit Rob Baillargeon, who starred for Cushing Prep last season, received an "A" ranking, while fellow 2013 recruits Brendan Collier (Malden Catholic) and Danny O'Regan (St. Sebastian's) each received "B" rankings.
O'Regan and 2012 recruit Jarrid Privitera (Gunnery Prep) will participate in USA Hockey's Select 17 development camp in Rochester, N.Y., beginning this Thursday. Another 2013 recruit, Adam Erne (Indiana Ice), was named to the U.S. Under 17 Select Team that will play in the 2011 Under-17 Five Nations Tournament, August 9-13, in Ann Arbor, Mich.
Looking back
Bob Sylvia, a co-captain of BU's 1964-65 squad, retired in 2010 as Quincy, Mass., High School head hockey coach after 44 seasons. Friends, colleagues and former players recently gathered for a roast and tribute to the long-time coach who retired from his teaching position at Quincy H.S. this year. Syliva scored 64 points in three varsity seasons at BU, and led the Terriers to their first winning season under Coach Jack Kelley.
