Looking ahead, looking back


UPDATE:

 A Tweet about BU participating in the Cactus Cup tournament in Palm Springs has been deleted. So at least for now, it is not part of BU's out-of-conference schedule. We'll keep that information here but grayed out until a clarification becomes available. The rest of the OOC schedule information appears to be correct. Stay tuned.

Next season, the Terriers will play in a between-the-semesters tournament for the first time since 2022-23 when they travel to Palm Springs for the Cactus Cup on January 2nd and 3rd. The other participants are Minnesota State, St. Cloud and Massachusetts-Lowell. In 2022-23 BU played in the Desert Hockey Classic in Tempe, Ariz., defeating Air Force, 5-1, before losing to Michigan Tech in the championship game, 3-2.     

While BU has not yet officially announced its out-of-conference schedule, a thread on the USCHO Fan Forum indicates it also will include Red Hot Hockey vs. Cornell at MSG, a pair of  two-game visits to Agganis Arena by Michigan State and Colgate, and an away game with Quinnipiac. Tennessee State has announced that it will launch its new program against the Terriers with the game to be played at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. 

 Looking ahead

2026 recruit Tynan Lawrence scored the game-tying goal and then assisted on the game-winner as Muskegon evened its Clark Cup championship series with Waterloo at one game apiece with a 4-1 win. The Fredricton, New Brunswick, native leads all playoff scorers with a 7-10-17 line.  That total puts him two points behind Taylor Cammarata for the most ever playoff points by a 16-year-old.

The 6'0" left-shot center earned a spot on the USHL all-rookie team and was a rookie of the year finalist after racking up 25 goals and 29 assists in 56 regular-season games. Earlier in the year, he helped Canada White win the World U17 Hockey Challenge, contributing a 3-3-6 line in five games. 

The Athletic has ranked Lawrence at #8 overall for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.

Looking back 

Macklin Celebrini scored his first goal in the IIHF World Championships in Canada's 7-1 win against Latvia.

 "When I got here, we had Chandler Stephenson, who is a really good-way center. You have William Karlsson, who is a really good two-way center," Eichel said. "I looked around and said, 'If I want to get the ice time and be trusted in these situations, I have to earn the trust of the coach and become more detailed and responsible defensively.'"    

Jake Oettinger stopped 31 shots in the Stars' 3-1 win over Winnipeg, to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinal.
