After
winning its ninth Hockey East Championship on Saturday, BU swept the conference’s
weekly awards. Tournament MVP Jake Oettinger took down both Player of
the Week and Defensive Player of the Week honors, while freshman Shane Bowers (four
assists) claimed the Rookie of the Week Award. The
sophomore goalie posted a 1.84 GAA and .945 SV% in the tournament.
Junior
Jordan Greenway, with six points (2G, 4A) in the tournament and Chad Krys (G,
3A), who joined Oettinger on the All-Tournament Team, also were named to the
Weekly Top Performers list.
BU
moved up five spots in the USCHO
Weekly Poll to #13. The Terriers’ opponent in the NCAA Regionals, Cornell,
fell from #2 to #4 after dropping its ECAC semifinal to Princeton. The rest of
the Northeast Regional draw is #8 Northeastern and #10 Michigan. BU also is #13 on the USA Today/USA Hockey
Magazine Poll.

With @TerrierHockey making its fourth straight NCAA appearance, the only schools with longer active streaks are Providence (5) and Denver (11). BU's 36 all-time NCAA appearances trail only Michigan & Minnesota (both at 37).— Brian Kelley (@BKelleyBU) March 19, 2018
BU
made five consecutive NCAA appearances in the 1970s (’74-’78) and nine
consecutive appearances in the 1990s (’90-’98).
►For
the first time in 40 seasons, Minnesota, North Dakota and BC all failed to earn
a spot in the NCAA tournament. That streak began in 1978 when BU beat BC in the
national championship game.

2018
recruit Jake Wise was named USHL
Forward of the Week. The 5’11” center from Reading, Massachusetts scored six
points in a pair of NTDP U18 wins over Madison, including a natural hat trick in
Friday’s 6-4 victory. Wise has 24 points (7G,
17A) in 15 USHL games and 32 points (7G, 25A) in 27 USDP games.
In
HockeyProspect.com’s latest ranking
for the QMJHL draft, 2020 BU recruit Josh Lawrence occupies the #1 ranking. The
right-shot center from Fredricton, New Brunswick scored 83 points in his second season
with Selects Academy.
McKeens' lead prospect offered this intriguing comment about the future Terrier netminder:
The USHL Omaha Lancers issued a press release on the 2019 commitment to BU of their goalie, Vinnie Purpura. Lancers Head Coach David Wilkie said.
"Vinnie has done a great job for our team since arriving in Omaha,” “He has done everything that we have asked of him on and off the ice and he is extremely deserving of the opportunity at Boston University that he has earned.”
