Three weeks to puck drop; Gone camping; From WBA to MSG

With the season opener, a home game against Holy Cross, just three weeks away, Coach Jay Pandolfo's squad is hard at practice at Walter Brown.

As NHL rookie camps get underway, 13 Terriers can be found on rosters. Twelve of them played for BU's 2022-23 Frozen Four squad. Last spring Lane Hutson became the 94th Terrier to play in the NHL. Which ones will be next?

Florida–Jay O'Brien, Nick Zabaneh, Armstrong, Wilmer Skoog 

Toronto–Cade Webber, Sam Stevens 

Montreal–Luke Tuch, Lane Hutson

Chicago–Drew Commesso

Colorado–Vinny Duplessis 

Carolina–Dom Fensore 

NY Rangers–Case McCarthy

San Jose–Macklin Celebrini  

 


TSN caught up with Webber at Maple Leafs rookie camp to talk about spending time in Toronto during last year's playoffs and preparing for the upcoming season.

Boston University product Cade Webber finished last season with the Leafs where he got a sense of what the fan base is like during the Stanley Cup playoffs. "Obviously it could be pressure, but the pressure is exciting," the 6-foot-7 defenceman said. "You want to make a difference here in the city."

Florida Signs Wilmer Skoog to NHL ...

Skoog, coming off a strong season in the AHL, is ranked by McKeen's Hockey as the Panthers' 15th best prospect. 

Hard work and determination earned Skoog an NHL deal from Florida this year after he played last season on an AHL deal with Charlotte. However, the big forward’s goal scoring prowess may have had something to do with that too. After starting the season in the ECHL, Skoog worked his way up to a key role with the Checkers and ended up tying for the team lead in goals with Samoskevich. He does his damage near the crease and is best as a support player.

 Looking ahead

2026 recruit Tynan Lawrence scored an unassisted goal in Muskegon's 5-4 loss to Waterloo.

2025 recruit Charlie Trethewey scored an unassisted goal in the NTDP U18s' 3-0 win against Youngstown.

2025 recruit Jonathan Morello scored a power play goal and assisted on the game-winner as Dubuque defeated Chicago, 5-3. 

Morello did a little bit of everything on Friday night. The Toronto native recorded two points and dropped the gloves with Chicago's Noah Lapointe, which ultimately led to a 5v3 power play for Dubuque, on which Morello scored.

● The Hockey News: Top Performers.

McKeen's Hockey has ranked Morello, a fifth-round Bruins draft pick this past June, as the team's 15th best prospect.

15. Jonathan Morello

A fifth round selection by the Bruins in 2024, Morello is a very intriguing project due to his size and speed combination. He is lightning quick, plays with some jam, and shows upside as a goal scorer. After playing in the OJHL previously, Morello will suit up for Dubuque of the USHL next year before making a larger jump to Clarkson the following season

 

2025 recruit Callum Hughes scored a power-play goal, assisted by fellow recruit and linemate Jack Pridham as West Kelowna edged Penticton, 4-3 in overtime. Hughes, a 6'1" left-shot center from Westwood, Mass., also assisted on the game-winner.

 

2026 recruit Luke Schairer assisted on the NTDP U17s first goal in a 5-2 loss to New Mexico.
