I got Ritchie and Pridham mixed up. Carry on...Which part of my post are you referring to?
“His shot is a natural gift,” Bednarik said. “He works really hard on it, so it’s a mix of both. He had that skill since he was a little kid. I see him work in it all the time.”
Not only have they been teammates for years, they’re also roommates and classmates at BU. From notching assists on each other’s goals to presenting in group projects together in class, they’ve built a pretty strong bond. The two will also play their sophomore year at BU.
“I can’t get rid of him.” Bednarik said with a laugh.
Pretty sure that adds up to 14 not 13Currently, BU leads all D1 teams with 19 NHL draft picks on the current roster. Thirteen in the first 3 rounds: 4 first round, 7 second round and 3 third round.

As we reported a few weeks ago, Jack Parker has been elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto with his induction set for November. ...terrierhockey.blogspot.com

Correct, and also cannot offer "revenue sharing" (payments) to players. Reportedly, the Patriot League as a whole decided not to opt in. Since a school's entire athletic department (besides play-ups) has to opt in or out, that effects BU hockey even though they are not in the PL.Reading on several sites that BU has opted out- Does that mean they can not offer 26 scholarships
Hard to believe
Is anyone else concerned about this - at the mercy of the Patriot League? Can BU still pay players directly from the school, or just the nickel and dime NIL deals? I know there is still a draw for top players with regards to the development by our coaching staff and great a great opportunity to win championships, but will we start to lose out on high end recruits to the power conference teams with $$$ to give? We have a few of those teams in HE in BC and Providence. I think we are one of the top teams in the country in revenue for hockey from what I see in some searching. I think we need to use that.Correct, and also cannot offer "revenue sharing" (payments) to players. Reportedly, the Patriot League as a whole decided not to opt in.

This feels like the beginning of the end unless BU comes up with a plan to address this. Two high-end kids picking between BU vs another school with a similar pedigree that offers them money will take the money. Look at Gavin McKenna to PSU (which is a good program but has a great staff) for example. Despite what his agent says I am sure that $700k for 1 year influenced the decision.Is anyone else concerned about this - at the mercy of the Patriot League?

To answer BU 93 - yes It is a bit concerning, but If this is the direction, no Hockey East, ECAC or any other schools will be able to keep up … maybe BC to a degree but even they won’t be able to match what the Big 10 schools could offer and will fall behind.This feels like the beginning of the end unless BU comes up with a plan to address this.

That being said I am sure the hockey program doesn’t draw enough money to pay many big deals so they would have to be very strategic about the use of it.
