U.S. Hockey
Report has posted that BU and 2012 recruit Robert Polesello have “parted ways.”
Polesello recently completed a season with the USHL Indiana Ice, producing a
15-16-31 scoring line in 58 regular season games. The break apparently results from an off-ice
incident involving Polesello late in the season. BU suggested that Polesello defer a year to
2013, but the 5-7 forward wants to play college hockey this coming season and
has decommitted. Given BU’s recent history with off-ice violations, the decision
by the coaching staff is not unexpected.
Sam
Kurker, the All-Scholastic right wing from St. John’s Prep (32-32-64) and MVP of the MSCHA All-Star Game, moves up to
join the 2012 class. Earlier today he tweeted, “It's official! Heading to BU next year. Cannot wait to get
started.” On Monday, Kurker will be in Toronto for the NHL Combine
along with 104 other top prospects from North America and Europe. 2013 recruit
Robbie Baillargeon also will attend the combine, which continues through June
2. Combine invitee list. In the NHL Central Scouting final rankings, Kurker was #36 and Baillargeon was #50.
► Correction: On May 18, we posted that
the BU-North Dakota series in Grand Forks would be on Nov. 11, 12. The correct
dates are Nov. 2 and 3. We also stated
that the out-of-conference schedule is complete. Since the Hall of Fame game
vs. Denver is exempted from the 34-game limit, there is one more OOC game to be
scheduled.
►Two BU recruits were selected in Tuesday’s
USHL entry draft. 2013 recruit Doyle
Somerby, a 6-5 d-man from Kimball Union, was picked by Muskegon. The other was
Kurker—prior to the decision that he’d join BU this year. He was picked by
Indiana.
Two other
members of the 2013 recruit class have draft rights held by USHL teams. Jarrid
Privitera (Dubuque) and Kevin Duane (Waterloo) each skated a few games for
their respective USHL clubs last season during breaks in their prep schedules.
The Boston
Herald reports that 2013 recruit Brendan
Collier who led Malden
Catholic to a second straight Super 8 title, will be skate for the EJHL Valley Junior
Warriors next winter. The left wing from Charlestown scored 27 goals and added
37 assists in 22 games, earning All-Scholastic and ESPN Boston “Mr. Hockey”
honors.
