BC Eagles 2020-21 - in memory of Steve Gerrish

BC just picked up another defenseman- 6’7” 240 lbs - Cade Alami - aka the “Butcher”! 20 year old freshman projected 2nd round pick.

With Alami and Wells, BC is definitely in the mix for a Natty in 21!

Go Eagles!

He's actually not that physical, and was not picked in last year's draft despite being eligible. However, he'll fit the Jack Agnew role. Plus, his dad played football at BC, and his younger sister went to school with my kids (she just picked UVA [Edit, got off the wait list at Columbia], so a big week for the family). They're good peeps. Glad it worked out for him.

Unless I have missed it, don't think Michael Karow has ended up anywhere yet. Maybe St. Thomas could be a landing spot? That's me just speculating.

This latest addition rounds out the defense. Now the guessing game as to which freshmen forwards are coming in.
 
He is not Orpik, but Alami is a smooth skating and skilled defenseman. He has good offensive instincts and with his reach he breaks up a lot of plays. He will be a 20 year old freshman and he has a lot of upside especially in his junior and senior years if he stays that long.

Go Eagles!

Projected 2nd round pick in your mind or what? This kid plays in something called the NCDC, which I've never heard of in my life, and he was draft eligible the last two years. He will not be picked in the 2nd round nor the 7th round lol

He only played in the NCDC this year because of the pandemic. He played in BCHL the previous year. The question might be why not the USHL but he's from NY and got to play in New Jersey. Maybe he liked that situation better considering I don't believe the USHL has a team in that area. That's not to say he will be a 2nd round pick in this year's draft. I have no idea if he will be drafted this time around. But I think there is a logical explanation for playing in the NCDC this season.

He'll be a double overager going into this years draft. Do not know where the 2nd round projection is coming from. And if he's not that physical, will he even be better than Karrow? What more would he bring, other than inches? Plus, I doubt his skating is above average, because NHL teams would've been all over a 6'7 defenseman that can skate. We shall see though. Guessing he's not getting any $
 
He's the #7 or 8 dman

Weight transferring to CC. Not surprising but he was good in the BCHL. Thought he had a chance to be a good 4 yr player but going to CC probably means an immediate uptick in ice time.

They probably should have started him in game 4. Outstanding game from him especially considering the first shot of the game was a goal. Horrific defending on that one.
 
Greg Brown named HC in USHL. If he does well that would seem to put him on the path to be a HC in college. Without knowing when York will retire, who knows how this will play out. Timing wise I think right now my money would be on JD Forrest as the next HC. Current HC in the AHL. But maybe he has NHL aspirations.
 
York is still going strong, spoke to him few weeks ago. Very excited about the incoming group and looking forward to a more regular season of hockey. Noted that the loss of Hutsko really hurt in the post season, kid had a star crossed college career. Hope he can stick in the BIGS.
 
Hutsko was a major loss. His play making always created scoring chances. We basically lost a whole line when we lost him.

That 2020 team would have won the NC. They had depth, senior leadership and great goaltending. It took JY 4 years to build that team.

Go Eagles!
 
Yup and York said the Cotton was the best Captain he ever had at BC. That is seriously high praise because he had some good ones.
