Looking ahead

2019 recruit Trevor Zegras, who has seen his NHL draft stock shoot up, is featured on the cover of—and is profiled in—the December issue of New York Hockey Journal. The 6’0” left-shot forward from Bedford, NY, who is currently second in scoring on the NTDP 18s with 35 points in 22 games, discusses his reasons for committing to BU and his personal development goals for this season.

3-1 win for Lawrence over a Milton team that gave it all it had. Best player on ice tonight was ‘19 NHL Draft prospect Braden Doyle (BU) who was a possession machine and had GWG with 9:42 left in 3rd.
