I don't have a Hockey Journal subscription, but for those of you that do ... there's an article about Fowler committing to Lowell.

Not sure if these kids were already in the recruiting pipeline before Pags arrived, but if not, it seems like he's off to a good start.

Two new recruits in one day, and this one is from Tewksbury:

02 F Owen Fowler @RiverHawkHockey is one of the top @Mass_Hockey 02 forwards: balanced skater with great leverage strength through his base. Great edges & active feet. A smart/skilled attacker who anticipates well but plays with composure. GREAT fit for UML: Tewksbury native too.

It’s nice when we can get one in our backyard for a change.

To fill in a few gaps here. Lowell and several other non-BU/BC Hockey East schools had been on Fowler since May when he had a breakthrough performance at Mass Festival.

His coach at Central Catholic was former Lowell player and current Bruins skating coach Kim Brandvold. He’s transferred to Governor's where he will play for new coach Brian McGuirk who had coached him growing up with the Top Gun program.

Fowler brings energy, compete. He doesn’t score because of his skill or his hockey IQ. He scores because he’s stronger, wins battles, and goes to the net.

NeutralZone has Andre Lee has a 4* recruit BTW. And a comment on him from Jeff Cox "He's big and very good."

Heisenberg has Lee coming in 2019, while Fowler has either a 2021 or 2022 (he's just starting his sophomore season at Governor's Academy).

4⭐️ Andre Lee to UMass-Lowell. Uses body to protect puck. Long reach and strength to create time and space. Good board play & first step off the wall to attack net. Touch near the goal. First year of Junior in the US. B+ grade last weekend

Another pick up.

His Elite Prospects page says the following, 2018 NHL Entry Draft: Ranked #53 by NHL Central Scouting, but it looks like he went undrafted.

Carl Berglund (Farjestad BK J20) has committed to the University of Massachusetts-Lowell for 2019-2020. @RiverHawkHockey @FBK_junior

No kidding. I don't remember a week like this before. Two commits for '19 and one for '21. And all highly respected.

Kid looks great, currently leading USHL in scoring. Can't wait to see him next year in a Riverhawk uniform.
