UPDATED: Boumedienne goes to Winnipeg in first round; 4 recruits picked in 2nd round; Women's team adds assistant

 

DRAFT UPDATE

Four Terriers selected in the second round, three among the first eight picks. San Jose grabs Simon Haoxi Wang with the first pick of the day (#33), followed by the Flyers selecting both Carter Amico (#38) and Jack Murtagh (#40). Then the Devils selected Conrad Fondrk at #50.

In the third round, a pair of defensemen heard their names called. Pittsburgh selected NTDP RD Charlie Trethewey at #73 and Columbus snared Swedish RD Malte Vass at #76.

We've been holding off on calling Vass a confirmed recruit, but since BU Men's Hockey reposted this Tweet, we'll add Vass to the recruits list in the sidebar.  A separate blogpost about Vasse will be posted tomorrow evening (or sooner). 

It's been another strong draft for the Terriers with a total of seven skaters selected--five defensemen and two forwards--in the first 76 picks. Five will be freshmen, including blueliners Amico, Trethewey and Vass, giving BU seven drafted defensemen on the roster.

Rising sophomore Sascha Boumediennce, following a strong second half of his freshman season and a record-setting performance at the World U18s, was selected by the Winnipeg Jets with the 28th pick of the first round of the NHL Entry Draft.

No NTDP U18s were selected in the first round, but BU's four U18 recruits Jack Murtagh, Carter Amico, Charlie Trethewey and Conrad Fondrk will look to hear their names called when drafting resumes today at Noon ET. 2026 recruit Simon Haoxi Wang and 2025 (likely but so far unofficial) recruit Malte Vass, a Swedish defenseman, also should be picked in the early rounds today.

CHECK BACK DURING THE DAY FOR DRAFT UPDATES

 Boumedienne is the 27th Terrier to be selected in opening round and the 17th during the past decade. 

Boumedienne, whose father, Josef Boumedienne, played for Columbus Blue Jackets and in Europe, is the second Terrier to be drafted by Winnipeg.  Keith Tkackuk, father of current NHLers Brady Tkachuk and Matthew Tkachuk, was the Jets first-round pick in 1990. Sascha will head to Winnipeg's development camp on Monday.

 “It was [Sascha's] development over the course of the year that really intrigued us. Obviously getting him at 28 was an exciting thing for us,” said Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.
