Harrison Roy not returning to BC. And a very reliable source told me it's because he won't get the vaccine. So which schools are requiring it? I bet he ends up at Arizona State. Kinda incredible to me that nothing more than a depth player would throw away a BC education because of not wanting to get the vaccine.

Can Hockey East implement a vaccine policy?

BU is requiring it. A quick google search shows that NU, Providence, U Mass, UML, Harvard, Merrimack, UVM all are requiring it. I'm sure there are many others. I'd guess schools that don't will be the exception.

It will be interesting to see if leagues can implement policies or if individual schools will as well (I suppose it is possible some could decide to only play games against other schools whose teams are fully vaccinated).

My understanding is Maine will require it once it is fully authorized.

Let this story be a prime example of how effective misinformation is.
 
Aidan Hreschuk goes in the 3rd round to Carolina.

also, former commit Cam MacDonald who opted for QMJHL goes in the 5th round to Tampa. Always wild to me to see a player spurn a school like BC only to be drafted in the 5th round
 
Gasseau picked in the 7th round, little later than I expected. Also, Haggerty said today he’s headed to the USHL in Fargo next year, and BC in 2022. I was pretty surprised to hear that he’s not coming this fall.

Another notable de-commit, Peter Reynolds, who also opted to the QMJHL, wasn’t even drafted. Pretty shocking with how big of a recruit he was supposed to be at the time
 
I can’t get excited for first round draft pics anymore. They are often to young to lead us to titles and they leave after only 1-2 years, disputing team chemistry. The transfer portal is more important than a first round recruit. You need upperclassman to win titles.

Go Eagles!
 
Pretty much agree with that. Michigan will be a fascinating case study this season. Loading up on premier talent but that alone never seems to lead to great success or a title. The question will be do they have the right mix of upperclassmen.
 
Harrison Roy to LSSU. Found on their website that they are not requiring COVID vaccine. So I think that confirms what I heard.
 
Totally forgot August 1 was the new commitment date for certain age player. With that, BC got two huge commitments in Aram Minnetian and Ryan Leonard. Don't think anyone had Ryan Leonard going to BC.
 
Some things are just inexplicable. Jimmy Hayes' very premature death is one of them. Condolences from this small corner of the Northeastern hockey fanbase.
