Greene, Lachance to wear the C; Kaplan gets an A; Svoboda shines at WJSS

The Terriers' leadership team for 2024-25, which will have a pair of co-captains--junior Ryan Greene and sophomore Shane Lachance--and one assistant captain, junior Devin Kaplan, was announced Monday by head coach Jay Pandolfo. All three are first-time members of the leadership team. 

"All three of them have earned the respect of their teammates, coaching staff and support staff," Pandolfo said.  "While this is the first time all three will be wearing letters, they've all demonstrated leadership abilities during their time at BU and embody what it means to be a Terrier. I look forward to working with them during the upcoming season as we once again compete for a national title."

The last time an underclassman was a BU captain was in 2018-19 with Dante Fabbro. Lachance, who is the grandson of legendary BU head coach and captain of the 1967-68 squad Jack Parker, is the first sophomore to serve as a captain. Last season, Lane Hutson wore an A as a sophomore. All three are 20 years old, although Lachance will turn 21 in August.

2024 NHL Draft Notebook: Hutson ...

In the first day's action, Cole Hutson tallied an unassisted tying goal and then assisted on the game-winner as US Team White edged Finland, 3-2. Brandon Svoboda had a goal for US Team Blue in its 7-2 win over Sweden.

While not involved the US-Finland scoring, Cole Eiserman drew praise from observers for his physical play. Gavin McCarthy also is on Team White.

FloHockey's recap noted:

Hutson finished the game with a goal and an assist. We saw the positives and negatives of his game including a few turnovers and a penalty during a power play. But the offensive element he brings to the ice and the way he can create threatening plays with his skill could be a difference-making component that puts him on the U.S. roster later this year. There’s a lot to like about where his game is heading.

On Day 2, Svoboda assisted on three tallies in Team Blue's 5-2 win over Finland. With a goal and four assists thus far, the 6'3", 207 lb. forward leads the tournament in points.
