For College Hockey News, Bernie Corbett, the longtime voice of BU Hockey, penned a tribute to his friend Travis Roy with whom he shared an off-ice passion:

The Travis I got to know personally was an insightful observer of the game he loved…Once I found out we shared a musical passion for Pearl Jam, that opened up another topic for discussion. I will never forget catching a Pearl Jam Boston Garden show with him in 2006. Sadly, we won’t have the opportunity for an encore hoping to hear “Crown of Thorns.”

 

Predators’ Coach John Hynes talks with NHL Network about his Terrier teammate Travis Roy and explains how Roy’s accident influenced his own decision to stop playing after a serious neck injury and begin a new path in coaching.

Looking back 


In a candid and revealing article for The Players Tribune, former BU All-American and Hobey Baker Award finalist Colin Wilson confronts and addresses his life-long struggle with
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In his bylined article, The Things You Can’t See, the 11-year NHL veteran explains:

There is simply no way to overstate the impact it’s had on my career, and on my life. It controlled me, it almost broke me for good. And there were times when I thought I might never be able to tell a story like this. But I’m here, and I am.

Looking ahead

2021 recruit Brian Carrabes scored a goal and assisted on the game-winner as Sioux City defeated Omaha, 5-2. The right-shot forward from North Andover has five points in three games.

2022 recruit Devin Kaplan scored his second goal of the season in the NTDP U17s’ 6-2 win against Shreveport. The former North Jersey Avalanche standout redirected a pass on a power play for the tally.
