Maguire wins Defensive P-O-W honors; Gryba returns to Agganis--UPDATED



Senior netminder Sean Maguire’s 36-save performance in the Terriers’ 4-1 win against Quinnipiac earned the senior netminder Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week honors. The Powell River, British Columbia native, who returned to the BU line-up after missing all of last season due to injuries, turned in his best performance of the season and stopped all 15 of the Bobcats’ power play shots, while lowering his GAA to 2.55.

Senior assistant captain Matt Lane, with two goals and a +4 weekend, and freshman Bobo Carpenter, who scored in both games, were named to the Hockey East Weekly Top Performers list.

Terriers moved up to the #11 spot in the USCHO Weekly Poll and remained at #11 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine poll.

While competing for a spot on the Canadian Junior National Team at selection camp in Ontario, sophomore Brandon Hickey (photo) was “talked up” to the Calgary Sun by his former BU teammate and current Buffalo Sabre, Jack Eichel.

"He's a real smart defenseman.  I think another great thing about him, something I noticed, is he's got a great one-timer. It doesn't matter how hard you pass it, where it is, he can one-time anything. It's a skill not a lot of guys can do, and he's really good at it.”
Update: Hickey remains with Team Canada after initial roster cuts.

Looking ahead
2016 recruits Kieffer Bellows and Clayton Keller (photo) led the way again as the USNTDP U18s drubbed Neumann College, 9-1, to complete a swing through Eastern colleges. For the second night in a row, Bellows, who now has 24 goals in 27 games, scored twice, while Keller assisted on both those goals and added an unassisted goal of his own. The two linemates, along with fellow recruit Chad Krys, will head to Boston for USA Hockey’s Junior National Team training camp which begins tomorrow at BU’s Agganis Arena and Walter Brown Arena to compete for a spot on the roster for the World Junior Championships.

Ty Amonte, son of former Terrier and NHL standout Tony Amonte, joined the U18s for the two weekend games against Princeton and Neumann. He is a senior at Thayer Academy where Tony is head coach and also plays for the Cape Cod Whalers U18s who won the Massachusetts Tier 1 U18 Midget championship.
