Linkorama: Terrier Hockey drops the puck in 15 days




Junior Bobo Carpenter talked with The Hockey Writers about his summer experience at development camp of the New Jersey Devils with whom his father, Bobby Carpenter, won the Stanley Cup as a player in 1995 and as coach in 2003.

►InsideHockey.com reviews BU's 2016-17 season, when the Terriers reached the NCAA West Regional Final and finished with a #6 ranking, and previews this year's team featuring 17 holdovers and 10 new faces.



►Redshirt sophomore Max Prawdzik, back on Comm. Ave after leading the Lone Star Brahmas to the NAHL Championship, introduces his new goalie mask.


Looking ahead
TSN’s Bob McKenzie has announced his pre-season Top 20 for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft with a current Terrier and a future Terrier among his picks. Freshman Brady Tkachuk is ranked #3 while 2018 recruit Joel Farabee is #19.

Tkachuk: “If anything, Brady is considered to be even more physical, abrasive and agitating than his older brother, but also possesses a strong nose for the net and ability to make plays. Seven of 10 [TSN] scouts surveyed have Tkachuk as a top-five prospect in this draft and none of the 10 scouts had him outside their top 10.”

 Farabee: “He can score because he knows where to be and is willing to pay a price to be there. Has the finishing skills to take full advantage of opportunities.”

Looking back
Heading into the final year of his entry level contract, former BU All-American and Hobey Baker Award winner Jack Eichel is challenging himself to step up his game and help lead the Sabres to a winning record and its first Stanley Cup playoff appearance since 2010-11.  Eichel scored 56 points (24G, 32A) as a rookie and then 57 points (24G, 33A) in an injury shortened (61 games) season.

Lane had 69 points as a Terrier, including 28 in his senior season.
