good company. ken dryden was recognized as the first 25 back at that time.
 
Re: Boston University season thread 4: Where BC comes to talk hockey

That's how I interpreted it. At the 25th banquet it was given to dryden.

Heisenberg's site shows BU with a 2013 commit from Nichols School right-shot defenseman Jack Faso, a late '94 birthdate. These stats are just for the team's 15 league games. They also play preps like Lawrenceville, Kimball Union Northwood and Shattucks. As a junior, he was all-CISSA.

OverTheBoards.net reported that he also played for the Buffalo Saints U18 split season. In a combined 49 games, he had a 7-15-22 line.

Per the banquet story on this site:

"The banquet typically ends by naming the next year’s captain, but that did not happen. Parker said he wants incoming coach David Quinn to own the final decision on who will lead the team."

Hard to imagine Coach Quinn hadn't already worked this out by the banquet.
Also, didn't they used to vote among the team members with a veto right held by the coach (the reason why I suspect Luke Popko never got C or an A)?

Why? What was the problem with Popko?

I think it is perfectly reasonable that Quinn may not have decided yet. While he may have recruited some of the older guys, he hasn't been involved in their BU careers. And he is still supposed to be focused on his Avalanche duties. My guess is that he has input from Parker, and perhaps he even has someone in mind. But he may have plans to mix things up in terms of how the captain is selected. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and given the character challenges in the recent past, I see this as an important way to get the message across that things will be different.

Looks like Coyle is doing well in Minnesota. 8 goals so far.

Not bad for a 'dog with fleas'... don't quote me on that (or technically Jofa). :D
