Episode13 of Inside BU Hockey features Bernie Corbett’s interviews with Head Coach
David Quinn, sophomore center Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson and Ben Prentiss,
founder of Prentiss Hockey Performance (PHP) and a consultant to BU for strength and
conditioning.
Karlsson
has been one of college hockey’s most productive goal scorers since second semester
began, with seven goals on 11 shots in four games. The Stockholm native and
Bruins second round draft choice in 2015 is now tied for the team scoring lead
with 22 points and leads in goals scored with 10.
Prentiss’s
PHP facility in Stamford, Connecticut is an elite in-season/off-season training
facility for athletes including NHLers Kevin Shattenkirk, Martin St. Louis, Max
Pacioretty, Jonathan Quick and Jason Arnott. Kyle Czech, BU’s new assistant
strength & conditioning coach, came to the Terriers from PHP and
coordinates closely with Prentiss.

SB
Nation’s Jeff Cox took in the Lawrence Academy-Milton Academy game, offering comments
on the top players including 2020 recuit Braden Doyle. The blueliner from
Lynnfield, Massachusetts played for the Shattuck St. Mary’s Bantams last season,
scoring 36 points and joining with 2019 recruit Robert Mastrosimone to lead SSM
to a national championship.
Braden Doyle, #9 Lawrence Academy, Defenseman, Left Shot, 8/24/01, 5’10"/165 (Boston University) - He scored two goals and it was my best viewing of him in a long time. His physical tools are very good, and always are. His skating, vision and puck-moving capabilities are consistently excellent. However, what stood out today was his poise and composure for being an ‘01 in prep. He didn't rush things and didn't appear intimidated going into corners with older players. Obviously he lacks a little bit of strength when going against ‘98s. His second goal put LA up by two and was a thing of beauty. He picked up a drop pass and sent a laser right under the bar. He has a good stick and makes crisp passes right on the tape of his teammates. He's a classic puck-transporting defenseman. The only knock on him came on a play in the third period when he lunged at a forward leaving the zone and missed, leading to a two-on-one for Milton. He has a legitimate chance to make the NTDP and be a top three round NHL pick in 2019.
