The 6-1, 198 lb. right-shot blueliner from Dracut, Mass., explains that “Since I was young that was the only place I wanted to go.” He grew up attending games at BU and going to the Beanpot Tournament.  MacLeod, who has scored two goals and five assists for the NTDP U18s, previously played at Kimball Union Academy where he was a teammate of current Terriers Doyle Somerby and Nick Roberto.  He was ranked #44 among North Americans in the NHL Central Scouting midterms.

2015 recruits Jordan Greenway and Charles McAvoy each registered an assist in the NTDP U17s’ 5-3 win against Omaha on Sunday night.  With 36 points (14G, 22A), Greenway is tied for fourth in scoring for the U17s, while defenseman McAvoy has a 6-10-16 line.

In the Massachusetts Super 8 final, defending champion Malden Catholic defeated Austin Prep, 5-3, despite a pair of goals for the Cougars by 2015 recruit Bobo Carpenter.  The right-shot center who also plays, for the Islanders Hockey Club, finished the high school season with 25 goals and 11 assists despite missing several games with an injury.
