Jackpot!!! (Rogie will get it)
If this kid was a discipline problem, it's probably best he never showed up to BU. Jack Parker can't clean out your locker unless you actually show up and put stuff in it.
The kid was 15 !! How do you know he was a constant discipline problem? How do you know he wouldn't have grown up and been just fine? How do you find time to take a crap with all the talking out of your arse that you do?
Yawn.
It is well known and documented
"Westchester Express 1995 DOB prospect Anthony DeAngelo ..... - discipline issues ... "

"Westchester Express 1995 DOB prospect Anthony DeAngelo is a certified top USA defenseman in just about any scout's book. Some even say he is a future NHL'er. But one chink in the youngster's hockey armor caused nagging concern among his fans last season - discipline issues ... "
Another time
"We were sorry we didn't get to see 14-year-old d-man and BU recruit Anthony DeAngelo, who was suspended due to a fight at his high school. "

"I'm not "sick of it."
I was a music major, and while I was in school a few kids (still undergrads) won auditions, and they were gone as soon as they got their bags packed. Good for them, was the general feeling. If you're good enough to be a pro, why stay in school? "
And
"Thanks!
Les, I just smashed my little toe into a table leg. The nail ended up in three pieces, with blood coming from point of impact and from under the nail; and after 10 minutes the side of my foot was as swollen as a blogger's oversharing impulse. I immediately felt really smart and coordinated, and said impressive words out loud to that effect.
Now it's ice and elevation, and I seem to be able to flex my toes with no pain. Do you suppose I should tape that toe to the next one? "
No nerd here...

I remember USHR writing a report from the Select 15 tryouts. They had DeAngelo ranked in the top 5 d-men, but mentioned he better cool it with his attitude. If I can find the link I'll post it.
Frequent reader, rare poster, ended season tickets this spring after 21 years. Responding to recent posts: does anyone have any queasiness about assessing the college and pro prospects of a 9th grader? Are there any parents here who have 14-year-old males who DON'T have discipline issues? My 10-year-old would be screwed if word got out that he copped an attitude about us not being able to take him to the latest Pirates of the Carribbean last week. I'm between sad and appalled that the height and weight and maturity level of kids who haven't hit puberty need to be projected and assessed by D-1 college programs, who may or may not get 35 games out of them when it's all said and done. Phew. Off to shower now.
Excellent post. I'd like to know how many of these 15 - 16 year olds actually end up at the college they commit to for at least 2 seasons. It seems like college hockey is the stick they use to get the desired carrot from Major Junior.
congratulations to the team for posting a perfect 1000 APR score. that's academic achievement for those unfamiliar with it. while the formula is extremely flawed, still a nice achievement for the team.
With several players leaving early plus the annual (player) kickoff event, shouldn't there be some blemish on the APR?
