I continue to like what I see of Jeremy Swayman. He’s got idea size at 6-foot-2, 187-pounds, he posted a pretty solid .921 save percentage at the University of Maine last season and he was taking really good angles on the shooters throwing rubber at him on Tuesday morning. Certainly he’ll have competition in this camp with Daniel Vladar as a guy that needs to start seizing his chance with the Bruins organization, and a goalie in Kyle Keyser that’s going to be invited to the Team USA World Junior camp this summer. But Swayman looks like he’s got the goods between the pipes and certainly got his development camp off to a good start. Langenbrunner on Swayman: “He was probably [Maine’s] best player. That was great. A kid that’s continued to work, he looks bigger and stronger in the net right now. He’s filling out nicely. His competitiveness, he saw a lot of shots last year and held them in a lot of games. He’ll continue this year maybe a little ahead of where we projected possibly, but he was drafted in that slot for a reason. I think the scouts believed he could play and he’s shown it."

Video Bruins tweeted of Swayman...

Yea, we nick named him the "wrecking ball" for his ability to hammer a guy on one side of the ice, then skate to the other side and hammer a guy over there, usually several seconds after the puck has moved on. He took some of boarding calls as I recall.

As far as sitting out a year, he graduated last year, so he should be good to go as a grad student.

Thank you and thanks to the other posters who answered my question. He did his best as a freshman … maybe another fresh start will be just what he needs.

He should get ample playing time and from there it's all up to him on how he produces/performs for your Sea Wolves. Good Luck on your upcoming hockey season.

Same to you. I have a soft spot for Maine, having lived in Bangor when I was a kid.

Yes. Just got done listening to Thorne call sox game. Blast from the past.

Great these guys are getting borderline ones. But what about Shore?

Devins restricted and Dallas tendered him, probably gets a couple million on a 2/3 year deal after the Stars are done trading and they have their salary in order.

Pretty cool to have 3 different generations/eras of Maine hockey in Dallas. Monty from the Walsh golden age, Bish from Whitehead’s prime and Shore frim, well, whatever this is

The Score put together a "Made In America" best players from each state list, complete with honorable mentions. Obviously doesn't mean anything, but fun nonetheless, and interesting to this thread due to a nice cohort of UMaine players. A little goofy because it focusing only on where an individual was born vs. raised.
Bishop, Weinrich, Carney, & Darling all pop up on the list.

May have lost memories of it, but interesting DiPietro was born in Lewiston. Basically in Mass whole life. But what an amazing goalie at NCAA level. He was an acrobatic goalie if I ever saw one.

I remember sitting through a 3 OT game I believe in Albany. He was a great college goalie. Possibly I am wrong, but I thought it was against Cornell or Clarkson.

St. Lawrence. I’ve never seen anyone more excited in my life than the St. Lawrence coach when they won.

Had the best agent ever also. Bet he is still getting paid from that Islanders contract
