I have seen the new Endicott College rink. It looks pretty nice for a d3 barn. Rumor has it that one of their players is a transfer and a 4th round NHL draft pick. When was the last time a d3 team had one of those if ever? I expect them to be pretty decent for their league fairly quickly and challenge for a league title and NCAA bid.

I don't know about the 4th round draft pick part but Endicott is a school that takes their athletics seriously and I agree that they should become a force quickly for their league.
They have hired two proven coaches on both sides, built a nice on-campus rink with the name Ray Bourque on it. How could a kid from New England that isn't good enough for D1 not want to play there?The Poster Formerly Known as Purple_and_Gold10©

The player is Tim Boyle, Ottawa's 4th round pick in 2012. He played for Union in 2012-13, USPHL the year after and then Endicott's club team last season.

Former UW-Stevens Point forward Travis Erstad was a 4th rd pick of the St. Louis Blues and the only notable thing that came of that was the Blues realizing they wasted their pick.I wish I am able to live long enough to do all the things I was attributed to.

Re: Endicott College
Chris Berenguer was the defenseman and Sid Watson winner from Hamline that I believe Hammer may be referring to. He was an incredible D3 player. I'm not certain that he was drafted, but I believe he could have been.
Like Webb said, Erstad was drafted for sure but never really amounted to much more than a lot of penalty minutes at Point. In his defense though, he was a very big power forward who was drafted out of Wisconsin high school hockey. Sometimes potential doesn't always pan out as forecasted...

Re: Endicott College
Hard to tell. Scouts not perfect. Some guys late bloomers. Nice to see a new program with nice facilities. Kids put a lot into playing it's nice to have a place to play. Having a good time and enjoying the game is what it's all about. Sometimes that gets lost in the fog.

Re: Endicott College
If a guy is drafted and the NHL still wants him, he's going to sign an ELC in the NHL instead of going from a DI school to a DIII school. Drafted players who are still on the radar don't drop to DIII.2007-2008 ECAC East/NESCAC Interlock Pick 'em winner

I certainly did not mean to imply that D3 hockey is a logical stepping stone to the NHL.Last edited by altazo; 08-31-2015, 06:36 PM.
