LINKORAMA


In an interview with FloHockey.com, legendary Terrier coach Jack Parker offers insights on one-and-done high-end recruits and the changing reality of college hockey.

With the 40th anniversary of the 1980 Miracle on Ice on the horizon, blog contributor and N.Y. Times reporter Neal Boudette is tweeting daily anecdotes from his upcoming book (title TBD) related to Team USA’s gold medal win at Lake Placid.  You can follow his tweets at @DZoneDraw .

Terrier fan BurntBoats' latest roster projections for the next four seasons. Not included is newest recruit, 2020 forward Wilmer Skoog.

Incoming freshman Ethan Phillips discussed his experience at last week’s Red Wings’ development camp. Drafted by Detroit in the 4th round of last month’s NHL Entry Draft, right-shot forward Phillips split last season between Selects Academy and USHL Sioux Falls, scoring 43 points in 50 games and helping the Stampede win the Clark Cup title.

Wings chief amateur scout Tyler Wright:

“He’s undersized, but he’s a very fast skater. He’s got very good hockey sense. He’s got very good skill. At the value of where he was at — he’s going to college, so he’ll have a little more time to develop."

Looking ahead
2021 recruit Artem Shlaine named to US U-18 Select Team for the 2019 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup tournament. The 6’1”, Moscow born/Florida raised center scored 90 points last season for Shattuck St. Mary’s Midget Prep.
● USA Hockey Select Team roster

2022 recruit Nick Roukounakis will play in USA Hockey’s Select 16 Development Camp in Amherst, N.Y., this week.  A power forward, Roukounakis plays at Thayer Academy for former Terrier star Tony Amonte.

Looking back
Mike Sullivan has agreed to a four-year contract extension as Penguins head coach. The former Terrier captain is the first American born coach to win multiple Stanley Cups and just the second head coach to guide his team to the Cup in both of his first two seasons with that team.
