Medium.com offers grades for the 2018-19 Terriers, while Daily Free Press reporter Brady Gardner has compiled his picks for 2018-19 Terrier “superlatives.”

Harvard goalie Michael Lackey has had interest from BU and Providence as a grad transfer. Posted a .918 save percentage as a senior. Didn't play in a game as a soph. so he can get a 5th year.

● USA Hockey recap and box score

All four members of BU’s 2021 recruit class are ranked for Saturday’s OHL Priority Draft by Prospect Pipeline. Jeremy Wilmer (#4), Danny Zhilkin (#15), Roman Schmidt (#22), Tyler Boucher (#70). NeutralZone ranks Schmidt #6, while the Barrie Colts ranked Schmidt #4 and Zhilkin #8.  Wilmer and Boucher participated in last week’s NTDP Evaluation Camp. Schmidt was invited but his Don Mills Flyers Minor Midgets were playing in the GTHL playoff finals. The Flyers defeated Zhilkin’s Toronto Marlboros to complete a remarkable campaign, going undefeated in the regular season (33W-0L-3T) and playoffs (11W-0L-2T). 

Both Zhilkin and Schmidt committed to BU last summer after standout performances in the Junior Chowder Cup. Zhlikin was ’03 Division MVP, while Schmidt made the tournament all-star team.

“He’s a dynamic two-way centre with elite skill. A lot of people don’t understand how responsible he is in his own end which is another thing that makes him that complete player.”#OHL Central Scouting Director @DarrellWoodley1 on #OHLDraft prospect Danny Zhilkin 🎥 pic.twitter.com/7LARDNe6qc

Very hard not to like a massive 6’5 right handed defenseman who displays good footwork. Roman has a hard shot and great puck management.  He gets his shots through with regularity and accuracy. As the year went on, his physicality continued to develop.  https://t.co/Ker2FINNqy pic.twitter.com/TBK80seYGu
