Re: Northeastern Huskies 2011-2012 Season Thread: Year of the Mad Dog
Well, it didn't look great for HE with Maine, BU and UML all bowing out in the 2nd round but hat's off to Ferris State and Union for their 1st trip into the Final 4. On a brighter note, I wanted to mention Providence signed Will Gosss of Wellesley a 6 foot 5 inch D man who went 5 32 37 in 35 games up at Philips Exeter. I have watched him play since he was 6 on our town teams and saw him play 3 years at Wellesley with my older son, now 19. William will be a 20 Year old freshman, with no Jr exp. and was kind of under the radar for a few years. He transferred to PHIL - E and did and additional PG year after his Jr. year at Wellesley and was a jr. captain of the Wellesley team that made the state tournament for all 3 years that he played. Although he had now real significant point production on those teams but could power a hard shot from center ice with some level of accuracy, but was often beat back by fast skaters thru the nuetral zone. NOT ANYMORE! However, if you had asked me when he left if he was DIV 1 caliber I would have said no. He also now skates with my younger freshman son, on the Wellesley Varsity as a coach from time to time when home form Phillips Exeter on vacations and during the Spring Europa Cup. I have to say I have never seen more improvement in 2 years in any player after the of 18 than I have witnessed in this young man. Fast, big, strong and smart, we are going to be in trouble. However dont get me wrong, I am still rooting against him and PC going forward and who knows how far he can go. He is a force and still growing! It's just nice to see hard work pay off a feel good story as you just dont find kids like this in public school at 11th grade anymore!
