Heard on the Lowell thread there is only SRO tickets left for the game Saturday.

As was already mentioned, the home end is still the same.

I received an e-mail from the UML marketing department stating that the game is officially sold out, and a limited number of Standing Room tickets will be available on a first come, first serve basis. The last time that happened (also against BC), the "limited number" was capped at 300.

Another recruit according to USHR.
Late Bloomer’ to BC
6’2”, 200 lb. Delbarton School senior Peter McMullen has committed to Boston College, and will arrive at the Heights in either fall ’11 or ’12 (depending on how many current Eagle forwards turn pro early).

McMullen, a left-shot center, is a power forward type who uses his size to drive to the net. A 2/19/93 birthdate from Essex Fells, NJ, McMullen was ranked #144 overall (5th round) on NHL Central Scouting’s Mid-Term Rankings, released a couple of weeks ago. He is currently Delbarton’s leading scorer, with a 13-10-23 line in 15 games played.

“He’s a presence in the middle of the ice, really strong on the puck, and just excellent below the dots. He has a real nose for the net and can really shoot it,” says Delbarton head coach Bruce Shatel. “Areas where he will need to improve are quickness and agility. He’s humble. He can really self-evaluate. He understands where he has to get to in order to succeed at BC.”

Going into the current season, McMullen was already committed to Bucknell for lacrosse, but his day at the Yale Classic in mid-November, when he scored four goals against Northwood, opened eyes.

“I think Jerry York sees a late bloomer, a kid who is talented in two sports, but had never really specialized in hockey, and from that projected what could happen if he dedicated himself to hockey for ten months of the year,” Shatel says.

“If he was going to walk away from Bucknell it would have to be the perfect situation and everyone in the McMullen family agreed it would have to be BC.”

McMullen’s older sister is already studying at the Heights, so there was a degree of familiarity.

“Coach York got Peter on campus last week and made an offer and there was no looking back.”

Shatel reports that the Bucknell lacrosse coach saw the opportunity that lay in front of his former recruit and was understanding.

McMullen, by the way, is the grandson of John McMullen, the late owner of the Houston Astros and New Jersey Devils.

Not that it matters but the #1 ranking is in reach this week with Yale's loss.

This latest recruit looks to be a real diamond in the rough. If nothing else, it looks like we'll now at least be able to field a full squad next year even with the impending early departures.

Am surprised that Yale is still #1 in the PWR and that we didn't pass Nodak with their loss last night??

5-1 win with Cam Atkinson potting 2 tonight.

Season series sweep of a team that usually has our number always feels very good.

Too many penalties. Again.

i think they just need to do something to keep it interesting. you're not that much younger than i, that you should remember one game where Larry Bird was playing so well that he decided to take only left hand shots. he didn't use his right all night.

that is what i think your boys are doing. they are just so much better than every other team that they figure this benefits them, or just something to keep them going.

Probably on the way to #1 with Yale's 2 losses this weekend.
