Red vs. White scrimmage on tap; 27 Terriers in NHL camps

Terriers, whose pre-season practices began on September 8, are getting ready for Saturday’s Red vs. White scrimmage--with referees at Agganis Arena. A week later they’ll meet Holy Cross in an exhibition game at Walter Brown Arena and then open the season at UConn on Oct. 8.

Freshman Tyler Boucher, drafted #10 overall by Ottawa in the NHL Entry Draft, joined the Locked On Senators podcast for an interview covering draft day, his decision to play at BU and some similarities with another Terrier power forward—and potential future teammate—Brady Tkachuk.
