Clayton
Keller, who scored twice in BU’s 4-4 tie with Northeastern Friday and assisted
on a pair of goals in Saturday’s shutout win, has been named Hockey East’s Pro
Ambitions Rookie
of the Week. The Swansea, Ill,
native also won the Rookie award on Oct. 3 for his hat trick in the exhibition
win over PEI. Fellow freshman Patrick
Harper, who scored twice in the 3-0 win, to extend his scoring streak to seven
games, was named to the weekly top performers’ list.
Terriers

poll and the USA Today/USA Hockey

East schools are in the USCHO top 20: Lowell (#5), Notre Dame (#9) and
Providence (#17).

Future
Considerations’ Top 100
for the 2017 NHL Entry Draft includes three 2017 recruits--
Shane Bowers #28 (photo), David
Farrance #79 and Kasper Kotkansalo #94, along with current freshman goalie Jake Oettinger #39.
Video highlights of the championship game of the Five Nations' Tournament in Plymouth, Michigan, include 2017 recruit Farrance's slap shot goal and wrist shot from the point that was rebounded home in the 3-2 win over Finland.
The
Draft Analyst.com reviewed several top performers on the NTDP U18s gold-medal
performance in the Five Nation’s tournament in Plymouth, Michigan, including Farrance.
LHD David Farrance (5’11, 191 – Boston U.): Farrance displayed all the makings of a pro-level defender. Not only does he possess a booming, accurate shot, but his ability to create plays off the rush keeps opponents honest. Farrance has an exceptional set of hands and can handle any pass with relative ease, especially from across the ice. He scored a key goal against the Finns via a slap shot from just inside the blueline. And his hard wrister caused a rebound that led to Scott Reedy’s game winner. One night earlier, he split all five Czech skaters with a home run pass on Sean Dhooghe’s tape for a breakaway snipe. Outside of being under six feet tall, there are literally no weaknesses to his game.
