With much speculation in the media and on the Web that All-American defenseman Matt Gilroy will sign a pro contract at the end of the season ( see previous post; scroll down), it’s likely that uniform #97 will go out of circulation. But the Gilroy nameplate will still appear on a set of Terrier jerseys next season. Matt’s younger brother, Kevin Gilroy, has given BU a verbal commitment for next season. Kevin, a 6’1" right wing now in his second year with the EJHL South Shore Kings, finished the regular season with a 32-26-58 line, fourth in the league in scoring and first in goals scored. Two years ago, playing at Brewster Academy, he led the Division 2 prep team in scoring (31-17-48).
If there are no defections, BU’s forward corps for 2008-09 will be:
Seniors: Chris Higgins, Jason Lawrence, John McCarthy, Steve Smolinsky, Brandon Yip
Juniors: Zack Cohen, Luke Popko
Sophs: Nick Bonino, Joe Pereira, Victor Sapnari, Colin Wilson
Freshmen: Chris Connolly, Ross Gaudet, Kevin Gilroy, Andrew Glass, Vinny Saponari, Corey Trivino.
- Congratulations to Boomer Ewing who was named co-player of the week in Hockey East, as he record scored the game-winning goal in both wins over Northeastern and tallied his 100th and 101st career points. His linemate, Pete MacArthur, recorded his 57th career goal, putting him within two of tying Mike Grier and Steve Thornton (who at 34 is still producing in the British Pro League ) and within three of Clark Donatelli and Steve Stirling on the BU career goals list.
