Danny O’Regan’s spin-o-rama goal against Vermont earned #2 honors in the NCAA’s reel of top 10 goals of the 2013-14 season. The sophomore from Needham finished the season with a 10-12-22 scoring line.

Co-captain Garrett Noonan’s entry level contract with Nashville is official. Noonan will be suiting up for the AHL Milwaukee Admirals in the Calder Cup playoffs against Toronto beginning Friday.

Looking ahead
With a slick individual effort, 2014 recruit Jack Eichel scored the game-winning goal with just over a minute left in regulations as Team USA edged host, 4-3, Finland in the final preliminary round game at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships.  The win clinched first place in Group B and will take on Slovakia in a quarterfinal game tomorrow beginning at 6:00 a.m. ET. The game will be live streamed for free by Fast Hockey.

Eichel, with 3 goals and 2 assists thus far in the tournament, Eichel has a team-leading 82 points (36G, 46A). His career total of 134 points is now sixth best in the NTDP record book

Anticipated to be one of the top 2015 NHL draft picks, Eichel is a featured topic in OverTheBoard’s “Isn’t It Obvious” column for April, which also mentions several other Terrier recruits.

Looking back
