Future Terriers shine at U18 Quarterfinals

Three BU recruits helped their teams advance to the semifinals of the IIHF 18U World Championships in Switzerland.

2023 recruit Macklin Celebrini powered Canada’s 7-3 victory over the host country with pair of goals and two assists. The 6’0” left-shot center from Vancouver leads all Team Canada skaters with 11 points (3G,8A) and is tied for fourth in the tournament.

2024 recruit Cole Hutson assisted on a pair of goals in Team USA’s 4-1 win (stats & highlights) over Czechia. He leads all defensemen with nine points—all assists—and with a +11 rating. The two helpers boosted the left-shot blueliner’s season points total to 65, tying him with Cam York for the most points by an NTDP defenseman in a single season. Seven of the 13 defenseman on that list are Terriers, including Lane Hutson, Dom Fensore and Freddy Meyer.

2023 recruit Tom Willander assisted on two goals in Sweden’s 6-1 win (stats & highlights) against Latvia. For the 6’1” right-shot defenseman, it was his second multiple-point game of the tournament. He has a 2-4-6 scoring line and is second in points among Sweden’s defensemen.

All three were called out in DailyFaceoff.com’s Scouting Notebook of top prospects. 

In Saturday's semifinal match-ups, Team USA will face Slovakia (9:00 AM), while Canada takes on Sweden (1:00 PM). Games will air on NHL Network and TSN.

Landings

Another Terrier who entered the transfer portal has found a new home. Defenseman Lachlan Getz has committed to Michigan Tech. He made 16 starts this past season.

Looking back

Nick Bonino will be on the Team USA roster for the IIHF World Championships set for May 12-28 in Finland and Latvia. Sharks head coach David Quinn will be behind the bench for Team USA.  Buffalo Sabres forward Alex Tuch revealed that he and his younger brother, Luke Tuch, will be on the U.S. roster
