Freshman Macklin Celebrini scored four times to lead Team White to a 7-3 win over Team Scarlet in the annual Scarlet & White Scrimmage at Agganis Arena. Lane Hutson found the net with a blast from center point.
Freshman Shane Lachance connected twice on redirections for Team Scarlet while Devin Kaplan had given Scarlet an early lead with a snipe from below the right dot.
Quinn Hutson scored for Team White in 3-on-3 play, while Kaplan and Sam Stevens had the only shootout goals, giving Scarlet a 2-0 win.
Junior transfer Matthieu Caron was in goal for Team White while senior transfer Henry Graham and grad student Nick Howard split netminding duties for Team Scarlet. Caron was solid throughout the scrimmage. His best save was a quick move across the crease to stop Jack Harvey's blast from below the right circle.
At the post-scrimmage reception, Head Coach Jay Pandolfo thanked the crowd--which filled the Francis D. Burke Club Room-- for its support and asked for more of the same throughout the season. He acknowledged his staff, associate head coach Joe Pereira, assistant coach Kim Brandvold and goalie coach Brian Daccord, whom he noted is now an assistant coach. Former Terrier Chris Bourque is a volunteer assistant. He added that Director of Hockey Operations--and former captain--Doug Friedman epitomizes the way a BU player should play.
Pandolfo pointed out the while his talented squad has high expectations for success this season, they are resolutely focused on a-one-game-at-a-time approach.
Looking ahead
2024 recruit Cole Eiserman, who announced his commitment to BU this past Wednesday, scored four goals in the NTDP U18s in a 10-3 win against Green Bay. 2024 recruit Kamil Bednarik registered four assists, including on two Eiserman tallies. 2024 recruit Cole Hutson also had an assist.
● Eiserman Goal Videos:1st, 2nd goal, 3rd goal, 4th goal
2025 recruit Conrad Fondrk scored his third goal in as many games--and fifth point-- in the NTDP U17s' 6-2 loss to Green Bay.
“I compare Celebrini to [Jonathan] Toews and I compare Eiserman to [Alexander] Ovechkin,” said Button. “I think they’re both game changers, difference makers in different ways.”
The Quebec product comes in at 6-foot-2 and 174 pounds and blends that size with his skill. Morin had a ridiculous 130 points (58-72-130) in 77 games last season with the Little Caesars 15U AAA team and while he didn’t record a point at the Fall Classic, he’s hoping that production follows him to the USHL.
“We couldn’t be more excited to have Zach here and everything he’s about is what we want in a Youngstown Phantom,” Ward said. “The way he works, the way he practices, the way he’s dialed in to everything – there’s a reason why he tendered him and he’s a very special player.“He’s mean, he’s tough, he’s dynamic and he wants to be the top pick in his NHL Draft year. I think that’s the most impressive thing about him and you can see how committed he is and how serious he takes his career."
