Boston Advantage USPHL 18U Defenseman Busconi Commits To Boston University
 
Section 6 said:
Didn’t realize that Rich Brennan was coaching at the Boston Advantage. A valued defenseman for BU in the 90’s and a class act.

The goalies on his team were very vocal in their praise for how he consistently recovered in difficult defensive situations. Great to hear he is still around.

He was one of my favorite Terriers. Quietly brought a very well balanced game every night. His disappointing individual year as a Senior was tough to figure out - after his Junior year, he was listed on some pre-season Hobey hopeful lists.
 
Zellers led all scorers and goal scorers in last month’s Five Nations Select 17U tournament. More on the blog.

Since July 1, BU has commitments from:
F: Will Zellers Callum Hughes Macklin Celebrini Kamil Bednarik
D: Cole Hutson Owen Keefe Aiden Celebrini
 
Chicago Steel center Macklin Celebrini will spend the next two weeks playing for Canada Red in the World U17 Challenge in Br. Columbia. NTDP U17s with 2024 recruits Kamil Bednarik and Cole Hutson also in the tournament.

CHN's Mike McMahon, in his Inside College Hockey newsletter, discusses the likelihood that Celebrini will accelerate to arrive in 2023. He quotes a pro scout who says, “He’s the best player I’ve seen come up through the U.S. system since Auston Matthews.” Celebrini is Canadian but has played for San Jose Jr. Sharks, Shattuck and now in the USHL.

Mookie saw the 23 class up at nc is dope. 3 first rounders + 3 later round picks. Didn’t they smoke jay’s incomers for next year or do our future boys compare??
 
There's no BU game tonight but you can get a look at several recruits on the free NTDP live stream at 7pm. Shane Lachance and Brandon Svoboda for Youngstown; Kai Janviriya, possibly Michael Chambre ( and 6 BC recruits. ☹️) for the U18s. www.usahockeyntdp.com/watch
 
Mark Divver tweeted: "No surprise, rumblings getting louder that '06 Mack Celebrini likely will be at Boston University for 2023-24 season, his draft year."

If so, he would be 17 all through the season. Other 17-year-old BU freshmen: Eichel, Heron, Pandolfo

Took me a while to decpher...Newton College has what will likely be the best freshman class for next year, certainly ranked higher than ours. Of course, if M. Celebrini accelerates then that changes things. With Celebrini our 24 class is as good as anyones. Without him (if he accelerates), we still have a very good class. I don't think our 23 class is bad, just not top 5.

My hope is that with Pandolfo and company improving player development, we won't have to focus as much on who is coming in each year.
