BU has
received a verbal commitment from goalie Shane Starrett of the
Selects Hockey Academy U18
squad at South Kent School. The 6-5, 190 lb. senior netminder from Bellingham,
Mass., previously played for Catholic Memorial High School, which is the alma
mater of BU Coach Jack Parker and assistants Mike Bavis and Buddy Powers, as well as
assistant captain Garrett Noonan.

OverTheBoards.net reports that, this season, Starrett has posted a 24-12-4 record in 2047 minutes played, a 1.90 GAA and a .915 save percentage for the SHA U18s, who finished in first place in the Midget Major U18 division of the
U.S. Elite Hockey League. Playoffs begin next weekend in Wayne, N.J.
Starrett, who
plays summer hockey with the New England Nordiques, was ranked #35
among North American goalies in NHL Central Scouting’s midterm rankings.
Among the
highlights of his junior year at CM was a 41 save, 2-2 OT tie against Brendan
Collier and eventual repeat state champ Malden Catholic.
After last fall’s
New England Prep League Showcase, U.S. Hockey Report wrote:
Shane Starrett, G, ’94 (Selects Academy) 6-5/190 — Towers over the opposition. We did not get to see him in action as long as we would have liked, but there is no doubt that he is interesting. Played for Catholic Memorial last season and stood on his head against St. Sebastian’s, leading them to a 2-1 victory in a game we were in attendance at. Tons of upside here. His older brother, Peter, played defense (sparingly) at Harvard, and graduated this past spring.

2014 recruit
Jack Eichel, playing his fifth game for the NTDP U18s, scored his second goal,
which proved to be the game winner in the U18s’ 3-1
win against Green Bay, and earned 2nd-star
honors. Eichel has a combined 21 goals and 15 assists this season.
Looking back
Anaheim Ducks’ Nick
Bonino, in Arizona for tonight’s game against the Coyotes, spent the off day at
the Angels training camp where he and a few teammates took part in batting
practice and Nick got to stand in on pitches from Jared Weaver.
Rick DiPietro
stopped 22 shots in a 4-3 Bridgeport win over Adirondack for his first win since clearing waivers.
