BU Off-Season: Forward to the Past

[ericredaxe]

I’d guess overall we will see more and more internationals taking a year off.

Kotkansalo will forego his senior year and stay in Finland due to Covid concerns.

Kasper's decision leaves BU with just 6 Ds for next season. I'd imagine they'll ask Braden Doyle to come in next month. He had originally been a 2020 and had already signed an NLI. 6th round pick by the Kings last year. Top-scoring D on Dubuque last year, 3rd team all USHL.

with everything topsy turvy (first time ever usage!!), would it be wise or not to wait until coming in 2nd semester IF needed. this all assumes there will be a season after all.
are we looking at practice only for 1st semester? mookie will guess first positive test shuts a program down for a week.

(until after election day of course - wink wink )

The Big 10 is about to cancel their football season. I expect all collegiate fall sports to shut down. Hockey in January? Maybe.

BU announces 8-man incoming group for 2020-21. Six freshmen. Two transfers—Jay O’Brien (Providence via BCHL Penticton) and graduate transfer forward Max Kaufman from UVM. In 2018-19, Kaufman led Vermont in scoring 8-13-21. tinyurl.com/y43jl3vv

Thanks, Mookie. Great memories of his final game sitting in a section of BU fans.

Former Terriers Evan Rodrigues and David Warsofsky were traded to the Maple Leafs in a multi-player deal. Rodrigues, a Toronto native, has 72 points in 199 NHL games. Warsofsky—one six d-men from the 2009 national champions to play in the NHL—has 11 points in 55 NHL games and has played 454 AHL games.

How did I miss this????

Legendary BU Coach Jack Kelley died yesterday at age 93, just five months after his wife, Ginny, passed away. Ironically, several members of Kelley’s national title squads will be gathering today for the Fifth Annual BU Hockey Elders and Friends Golf Outing, organized by Steve Dolloff and Peter Yetten. The Jack Kelley stories certainly will be flowing today.

If you have a Jack Kelley memory or experience you'd like to share, please add it in the comments section of the post on The Terrier Hockey Fan Blog.
