► Freshman Jack Eichel was part of a news feature on USA Hockey’s NTDP during NBCSN’s Hockey Day in America coverage.

 ► Former captain Jacques Joubert, back at BU for Friday night’s 20-year commemoration of the Terriers’ 1995 national championship, talked with the Daily Free Press about the current squad.
