Sahir Gill leaves BU

This afternoon, Sahir Gill made a surprise announcement that he would not be returning to BU for his senior season.  This comes as a shock to us as Gill was expected to be an impactful forward and a veteran leader for the club. The reasoning as to why he has left the team remains unknown. No matter what the reason, his presence will be missed on and off the ice this coming season. We wish Sahir the best of luck in the future and thank him again for taking the time to sit down for an interview with us in December 2011.

There are rumors that Gill will sign a professional deal in the coming days but the real reason behind his departure is not know and hopefully will remain that way to the public. I agree with twitter account @BurntBoats( on this one that this type of stuff should be kept in house and out of the public spotlight.That is the sign of a strong program and loyal staff when they can keep these things between the people directly involved.

“The Final Word” Or Not So Much…

Before I go any further, I’d like to thank the guys at BSRS for giving me a chance to rant a bit on their lovely blog, and I hope that I’ve been half as entertaining as the guys here are throughout the year(Editor's note: He/She must want something because we all know that we aren't entertaining).  To conclude my series of posts, I decided to get everyone excited about the upcoming 2013-2014 season.  What better way to do just than making a fool of myself and making some bold predictions for the upcoming season? I’m not a huge fan of predictions myself, but since there is so much uncertainty going into this new era of BU hockey I figured I’d give it a shot.  In a few months, make sure to bash me in the comments section when none of this comes true and you want to feel good about yourself for disagreeing with me now.

Anyway, since everyone  knows that I believe that BU is going to go all the way this season and Coach Quinn will be an absurdly great fit for the program, I’ll resort to some of my smaller scale predictions. The following ideas are in no particular order, and you are crazy if you try to figure one out:  

BU Terriers in Development Camp

Here is a breakdown of the Terriers that I know of that participated in Developmental camps these last couple weeks and some links to stories written about them.

1. Matt Grzelcyk- Boston Bruins 
- Grzelcyk was listed as the B's #12 overall prospect after his stellar freshman campaign for BU. Grzelcyk's relationship with Ryan Fitzgerald,incoming BC freshman and fellow B's draft pick, was highlighted in this piece by CSN's Joe Haggerty.  "Grizz" will hopefully remain with the Terriers for another 2 or 3 years but he is quickly rising up the Bruins prospect rankings.

BU names Steve Greeley associate head coach

BU has issued a press release today officially announcing former Terrier Steve Greeley as the associate head coach under David Quinn for the coming season. This has been widely reported for the past few weeks while Greeley finished his contract as a scout. Greeley spent the last 7 seasons as a scout for the Los Angeles Kings organization as a scout and also spent time coaching at Thayer Academy and with the US Development Program. Greeley played under former Coach Jack Parker from 2000-2004 and received the Bennett McInnis Award for Spirit. Between new coach Quinn and Greeley there will be an influx of youth to the coaching staff this season along with seasoned veteran assistant Buddy Powers. I still want to see Mike Grier to join the staff in the next few years. BU would get every call known to man if the refs looked over and saw Mike Grier screaming at them from behind the bench.

BU Round-Up

A few things have happened in the last couple of days with BU ranging from the NHL Draft to a brand new conference. You get the drift.
