SB Nation’s Jeff Cox reports that sophomore
back-up goalie Max Prawdzik will leave the team for the second semester to play for
the NAHL’s Lone Star Brahmas. It is expected that he’ll return to BU next fall
with two years of eligibility remaining.
Prawdzik was a prep school standout at the Brooks
School, earning ISL MVP honors in 2014-15 and leading his team to the New
England Large School title.
With his departure and freshman Jake Oettinger currently at the World Junior Championships, it's possible that BU will have only junior Connor LaCouvee--of the three rostered goalies--available for the home game against Union on January 5. That's the same date as the WJC gold-medal and bronze-medal games. Look for Coach David Quinn to add a back-up goalie to the roster, possibly from the BU Club Team.
Lone Star is the NAHL team that sophomore Oskar
Andrén skated for prior to joining BU last January.
