Greenway at Wild Camp; Jack Kelley turns 90

Attending his third Minnesota Wild development camp, Jordan Greenway talked with the media about raising his game further in his junior season at BU and hopes to be invited to play on the US Olympic team. He’s also sporting a new look.

He towered over most of the 40-plus other prospects during the on-ice sessions, uncorking blistering shot after blistering shot, while hauling up and down the ice like a freight train. He was even more conspicuous off the ice, confidently rocking a bleach blonde Mohawk, which he said was inspired by New York Giants star wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.

Gotta love that the two older guys coached the two younger ones.

►The Third Annual Comm Ave Charity Classic is set for this Friday at Walter Brown Arena.  Puck drop for the contest matching BU and BC alums is at 7 p.m. Ticket information and rosters are here.  

 

After two All-Star seasons in the KHL, former BU captain and Hobey Baker Award winner Matt Gilroy signed a one-year contract with Jokerit’s KHL team. The fifth member of BU’s 2009 NCAA championship squad defense corps with a new contract, Gilroy scored 38 points last season for Moscow Spartak. He is reportedly a strong candidate for the U.S. Olympic team.

Former Terrier captain Tom O’Regan talked with the San Jose Mercury News about son Danny O’Regan’s opportunity to earn a spot on the Sharks’ roster next season. The younger O’Regan, who scored 144 points for BU, was last season’s AHL Rookie of the Year with 56 points (22G, 34A).
