Wow. Not too many kids these days named Henry.

He's from Texas, so legally, I believe he must be referred to as 'Hank'.

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

I was thinking of the french pronunciation, like Kelly's boyfriend on Cheers…("OnRee")

Seems like a good pick up. I like the geographic diversity we are seeing with the new regime.

I've got a good friend who's baby boy is named Henry. It's a name on the comeback trail most likely.

Beside the diversity (Texas, Minnesota, Illinois, California, Quebec, Alberta, Moscow, NY, Connecticut & Mass.), it's also the numbers and quality. Can't recall seeing 19 BU recruits on Chris Heisenberg's list at any one time before.

Keller has now accepted his NTDP invitation and welcomed Crone to Terrier nation.

which is good because with that many, i highly doubt they all make it to BU. as mookie said, "over recruiting". that's the new approach these days, certainly not limited to BU. happens at BC too.

Don't count your recruits 'til they sign their LOI and actually show up on campus as matriculated students. When recruiting high-end talent, coaches absolutely must have a solid plan B to account for guys bolting to MJs and early departures to pros. Can no longer assume 4-year stays for many of these players; guys like Arnold and Hayes have become the exception instead of the norm.

Even Hayes would have been 3 year if not for ending his junior year injured and being unable to play in the AHL. 3 years out of guys like these is most definitely a win.

Why wasn't he able to play in the AHL?

Why wasn't he able to play in the AHL?

He had surgery on his thigh in March, he wasn't able to play period. So there was no point in signing him at that time.

6'0", 180. Third in the AJHL in regular season scoring and December's player of the month. In 2011-12. combined with Kevin Duane to put up more than 100 points for The Brunswick School. A skilled right wing to join Greenway, Letunov, Carpenter and possibly Greer in the 2015 class.

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Jack Eichel took over the @USNTDP twitter account an hour ago for a live chat and answered some questions regarding BU hockey. Seems genuinely excited to be coming here. Good sign.

Re: BU Recruiting Update, Part 3

Eichel talks about World U18s and what's next for him. He finished the season with 87 points (38G, 49G) fourth best single-season point total for NTDP program.
