BU
will be featured on two nationally broadcasted games on NBC Sports Network this
season. The first will be the Nov. 7 match-up with Boston College at Conte Arena; the
second will be on Jan. 3 when the Terriers have their first-ever meeting with Union
College, the defending national champions. The full Terrier TV schedule is still
being developed, but will include Webcasts of most home games on Terriers AllAccess as well as broadcasts on NESN and possibly other cable TV outlets.
The
Foxboro Pro League championship was decided last Wednesday with Team Harlow,
featuring Terrier captain Matt Grzelcyk and freshman Jack Eichel, topping Team
McDonough, whose roster included ex-BU forward Charlie Coyle, 5-3. Also playing
in the summer league were junior Danny O’Regan (photo), sophomores Robbie Baillargeon,
Dalton MacAfee and Kevin Duane, freshman AJ Greer and former Terriers Sean Sullivan and Vinny Saponari. Sullivan, who spent last season with Straubing in the German DEL, has returned to Germany this year, signing on with the Iserlohn Roosters.
Looking
ahead
Sioux
City finished the Junior Club World Cup in Ofa, Russia, with a bronze medal, defeating Dynamo Shinnik of Belarus, 4-3, in overtime. 2015 recruit Bobo Carpenter registered an assist in the third-place game to go with three goals scored earlier in the tournament. Discussing Carpenter and Adam Johnson, who are expected to lead the Musketeer offense this season, Coach Jay Varady noted: “Adam and
Bobo are top-end guys for us. They had
good summers in terms of off-ice training and they started the tournament ready
to play. They are skilled players who make an impact on the game most of the
nights they are in the lineup.”
The Musketeers have returned to Iowa to prepare for the USHL exhibition game schedule which begins this Friday. Besides Carpenter, Terrier recruits who will play in the USHL this season are: Hank Crone (Omaha), Sean MacTavish (Waterloo), Maxim Letunov and Vas Kolias (Youngstown) and Jordan Greenway and Charles McAvoy (NTDP U-18's).
2015 recruit
Liam Coughlin, who scored 18 goals and 27 assists in 53 regular season games
(and another 13 points in the playoffs) for BCHL Vernon last season, had been
expected to return to the Vipers for a second season. However, Providence
Journal reporter Mark Divver reports that the 6-3 left wing from South Boston
will instead stay closer to home and join the USPHL Premier Division South
Shore Kings. Joining Coughlin on the Kings is former BU recruit Shane Starrett.
The two previously were teammates at Catholic Memorial.
'94 F Liam Coughlin, a BU commit & @EdmontonOilers draft pick, will play for @SouthShoreKings this season, according to Scott Harlow.
