WEEI’s Scott McLaughlin's in-depth
interview with freshman Jack Eichel reveals how the freshman forward's focus on immediate
goals and improvement, and a willingness to challenge himself against older
players has helped him become one of hockey’s top prospects.
► Four Terriers—sophomore Nick Roberto and freshmen J.J. Piccinich, Conor LaCouvee and Brandon Fortunato— as well as 2015 recruit Charles McAvoy--are competing in the 2014 John Cunniff Senior Chowder Cup tournament, which begins today.

BU recruit Kieffer Bellows saved his best play
for the All-Star Game. 2 goals, strong play along boards, being physical and
driving net.

Cox’s review
of Select 16 performers including Crone and Bellows:
7.
Henry Crone (#18 Royal) 5-8/145 Dallas Stars Elite U16 (Boston University) -
Another player whose skill became more apparent as the week went on. He is a
great stick handler with good speed, but perhaps most impressive was his
ability to read plays and anticipate where his teammates would be and where to
find pucks.
10.
Kieffer Bellows (#11 Red) 6-1/190 Edina High School (Boston University) - This
observer didn't think he truly showed what he's made of until the All-Star
game. Admittedly, he was playing on one of the weaker teams here during pool
play. He's a power forward who likes to throw his weight around. He made
several jawing hits during the camp, but then came alive on Sunday. He drove to
the net and scored two goals, as he was one of the better players in that game.
He's got a quick release and is strong on the puck. He reminded me a little of
Ottawa Senators draft pick Shane Eiserman with perhaps a little more offensive
upside.
The
Hockey News’ latest Prospect
Watch of NCAA signings includes Bellows and 2015 recruit Liam Coughlin, a
Catholic Memorial product who skated for the Vernon Vipers last season and was
one of only five
BCHL players selected in the NHL Entry Draft last month.
Looking back
Two former Terriers will play management roles for the U.S. U-17 Select team mentioned above. Ken Rausch, a member of the BU 1995 national championship team, will serve as general manager. Clark Donatelli, a late 80’s BU standout and two-time U.S. Olympian, will be an assistant coach.
Former Terrier defenseman Adam Clendening was named to the AHL all-star team in his first two pro seasons, the first player to do so in more than a decade. Now he’s aiming for a spot on the Blackhawks roster. The Wheatfield, N.Y. native is in Chicago’s development camp, along with BU netminder Matt O’Connor.
● Comcast SportsNet report and video interview
● NBC Sports report
Former BU forward Matt Nieto, after a successful rookie season in San Jose, is expecting an increased role in 2014-15.
