● Recap and video
A
6-2, 180 lb., left-shot defenseman from Burlington, Mass., Diffley is “a strong
skater, who can take it end-to-end," according to U.S. Hockey Report. A
month ago, USHR posted:
Diffley’s Stock RisingBB&N has a one-man breakout in 6’2”, 180 lb. senior LD Brien Diffley, who we got to see in action in the Knights 4-2 loss to St. Sebastian’s Wednesday. We’ve seen Diffley before, and went into the season considering him as a high DIII/low DI borderline kid, but his stock is rising. There are not a lot of senior d-men out there who can rush the puck like Diffley.
Now
in his second season at BB&N, Diffley played fall hockey for the Junior
Bruins in the USPHL Elite division, recording a 2-3-5 line in eleven games.
Previously, he manned the blueline for Burlington High School, earning a spot in the 2011
Fall Showcase and helping the Devils to the Valley Hockey League’s North
American title with a shootout game-winner against Salem.
