BU strengthened its pipeline of future defensemen when NTDP
U18 blueliner Domenick Fensore committed to the Terriers for 2019. Fensore, a 5’7”, 155 pound left shot from Thornwood, NY, who previously had been committed to
Quinnipiac, is the second recruit secured since Albie O’Connell took the reins
as head coach.
4.25⭐️ D is a dynamic skater. Puck mover gets flying quickly and is shifty. Trusts his feet to defend and holds tight gaps in the NZ. Undersized but rugged in the DZ. Former Qunnipiac commit. See all Dom’s reports and stats on his profile.— Neutral Zone (@_Neutral_Zone) July 29, 2018

Possessing “explosive skating” and strong passing skills, Fensore scored 31 points (2G, 29A) in 61 games for the U17s last season. In 2016-17, he scored 83 points with the PAL Junior Islanders, including 27 in 23 USPHL games. That spring he was invited to the NTDP Evaluation Camp and earned a roster spot on Team USA. SBNation reported:
Pay no attention to his height. His footwork and skating are so good he can overcome that. He retrieves pucks, breaks the puck out of the zone and acts as a fourth forward. His gaps and layers are good. He has a good shot and is a prototypical modern era puck transporter.
A year ago, he was named MVP of the Junior Chowder Cup, leading All-American Prospects to the '01 tournament title.
Fensore becomes the fourth member of this season’s U18s headed to BU, joining fellow blueliners Case McCarthy and Alex Vlasic, and center Trevor Zegras. The U18s will visit Agannis Arena on October 19th for an exhibition game against the Terriers.
