Re: Boston College Hockey, Part II
FYI - From USHR:
5'9", 150 lb. C/RW Ryan Fitzgerald, a freshman at Malden Catholic, has committed to Boston College for the fall of '13.
A 10/19/94 birthdate from North Reading, Fitzgerald posted a 17-30-47 line in 24 games for Malden Catholic this season. He's a smart player - an excellent playmaker who moves the puck really well, makes players around him better, skates well, and competes.
The son of former Providence College star, NHL first round draft pick ('86), and 18-year NHLer Tommy Fitzgerald, the younger Fitzgerald was also offered by UNH. The Wildcats were probably the school in most direct competion with BC. (UNH assistant Scott Borek had helped recruit the father to PC 25 years ago.) UMass also was in the picture. BU reportedly made a late push, but the younger Fitzgerald never actually took a visit there. BC has been on him for quite a while, since last summer and fall.
Fitzgerald, who was excellent at last week's Beantown Spring Classic, will be heading out this weekend to the NTDP Evaluation Camp (March 27-30) at Ann Arbor.
Speaking of the NTDP camp, fellow BC recruit Brendan Silk, a sophomore at Austin Prep, suffered a deep bone bruise in the Super 8, and is unlikely to be able to skate at the camp.
