      I hadn't seen the number assignments. Looks like Kurker (9) and Lane (21) picked new ones.

          Definitely go with the tweet. Everything on twitter is fact.

            Great interview. I love all the thoughts around Major Junior. I never thought about the changes they made (I guess I never knew the CHL draft age used to be higher).

              big problem that so many dont get is the fact 99.9% of kids from Toronto dont care about playing at Bu/BC. they look at Stamkos as a role model, not a BU player.
              its their culture and wont change. they want their parents at every game as well. they get 80 games a year from 16/17-20, than go play collge hockey and if not a Canadian University. A BU degree is worth zero in Toronto, not worth the paper its written on. Same as a Canadian degree down here.

              They dont care about D 1 and its hard to blame them. American kids is another story.

                      Faso's listed on Chris Heisenberg's 2013 excel sheet as committing in April (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...jMi1PS2c&gid=1), a week before Roberto. However, he's listed on CHN's recruiting list as a 2014 recruit (http://www.collegehockeynews.com/new...ist/d1/0//conf), but isn't on Heisenberg's 2014 excel sheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...3OWNJZVE#gid=1).

                      I'm thoroughly confused. He's definitely at BU as a freshman right now, so I don't see how he could be a 2014 "recruit". Seems that he either never committed to play hockey at BU and is just a regular student, or he was extended a tryout as a walk-on but didn't make the team.

                      Club hockey has tryouts this weekend (Red Dogs FTW!), maybe that's what Faso is doing.

                        I believe the point was USA kids.... Not Canucks

                          So, we've established that Canadian kids are trying to maintain their eligibility to be future US college coaches by not playing US college hockey.

                          I think that summarizes the off-season pretty well.

                            He's a dinosaur, and I disagree with him on so many levels, but he's exactly right on this. It's not an issue of the NCAA killing hockey by not understanding college hockey, its a matter of college hockey killing itself. One change, that's all that's needed.

                            NEHJ: How about the Major Junior issue. Any changes on the horizon?

                            Parker: We’re on the road to being more effective, but it’s a long road. There’s so much money involved. And there’s so many kids who believe that they’re going to make it, and that’s the best way to make it. They’re winning that battle, and they’re going to continue to win that battle. What would really help is a change in the rule — and the coaches could change this tomorrow if they wanted to — to get the NCAA to say we’re not going to make every kid ineligible just because he played two games in Major Junior A. If he played any games before he was 17, it doesn’t count. After that, he’s ineligible.


                            NEHJ: What’s the roadblock to that vote taking place?

                            Parker: They’re not on the same page. Some coaches don’t want those guys, because they’re winning (without them). Or USA Hockey doesn’t want those guys, because they want more Americans playing. Everybody’s got an agenda.

                            19-20 9th place
                            20-21 10th place
                            21-22 9th place
                            22-23 10th place

                                Two small nuggets related to BU Hockey, and perhaps slightly related to each other:

                                - On NESN's "Behind the B" show that combines back office discussions about having to dump Ferrence and Seguin with following Louie Eriksson around as he looks for a new apartment and Lucic around Vancouver with his baby girl, they had footage of their development camp. They focused in on two prospects including Grzyleck. They had footage of the summary conversation with him. Frankly it sounded as if they weren't thrilled with his conditioning, as Don Sweeney said something about fitness and nutrition and that he needs to stick to a regimen. Anyone else watch it and have a similar take?

                                - At my sons Squirt game yesterday, I ran into Mike Boyle, whose son Mark plays in the Jr. Rangers program. He told me Mark was named after Mark Bavis - pretty cool. Anyway, I told him we wish we still had him on the BU team. He's exclusively Red Sox now he said.
