Bentley University Falcons came out flying and just never stopped trying to pop in a 6-2 drubbing of #6 Boston College Eagles at Bentley Arena.
Sophomore Cole Kodsi(21) was responsible for his first pair of goals on the 2021/2022 season.
The Boca Raton, FL native is blowing off freshman season numbers with college high 3 goals, 6 assists and 9 points in 16 NCAA Division 1 games.
Game views: 10/8-21 Bentley University Falcons welcome a visit from ranked Ohio State University Buckeyes, but Nicholas Grabko(29) stops 34 pucks, allowing only 1 to pass, and 1st goals by graduate transfer Collin Rutherford(29) and freshman Cooper Connell(15) secure a 2-1 home opener win.
Northeastern University Huskies beat up on rivals from a couple towns over Bentley Falcons in the home opener at Matthews Arena, 4-0 was the Final on a pair of goals by Milton, MA junior forward Aidan McDonough, who happens to be tied for 3rd at 13 tallies in NCAA D1 scoring.
Colorado College Tigers‘ sophomore goaltender Dominic Basse(22) has really only seen limited success since youth hockey with Selects Academy 18U AAA, but scored a huge confidence win over #10 ranked Boston College Eagles in Chestnut Hill Friday night.
This was also a 1st NCAA Division 1 hockey win for new Coach Kris Mayotte.
The monster 6’6″ 187 lbs. net minder is the team’s only NHL draft pick, going in the 6th round of 2019 (#167 overall) to Chicago Blackhawks.
He played one season for Youngstown Phantoms with a 14-12-3 record before arriving at college.
There’s little doubt the 20-year old, Alexandria, VA native will have to continue to step up his game to earn an entry level contract.
Former teammates: Northeastern University Huskies‘ portal transfer, senior Jakov Novak(10) hits the center dot for the 1st drop of a puck on the 2021/2022 NCAA Division 1 college hockey season vs. Bentley University Falcons‘ graduate student Brendan Hamblet(6).
Boston Jr. Rangers‘ 1st year center Julian Boisclair(21) was sitting right in front of the opposing team’s net when the puck came to him to end the 2-2 standoff on opening day of the new EHL season.
He came to Massachusetts after playing last season for Philadelphia Hockey Club in USPHL Premiere, scoring 12 goals and 13 assists in 39 games, then added another 8 points (4-4) in 4 playoff contests.
The 20-year old, Vorhees, NJ native should be able to take his totals up in the new league before committing to a college.
Bentley University Falcons‘ undrafted sophomore center Matt Gosiewski(12) had a 3 point game with a pair of goals in the opening round playoff matchup vs. Air Force University Falcons in a 6-3 win to advance.
The big 6’4″ 210 lbs. forward took an interesting route from his Connecticut home to committing to a college team.
He started in the USHL, then moved onto a campaign in the BCHL, only to return and finally sign with Wanatchee Wild up north juniors for his best production ever (28-23 in 50 games) in his fourth season and has continued pace in two years of college.
His 2020/2021 numbers were on pace to eclipse what he posted as a rookie.
No doubt the junior is going to be looked to as a leader next season and may even be given the ‘C’.
Congratulations of 2021 EHL Champions Boston Jr. Rangers.
They needed to work hard for the title, coming back from 2 down and pushing it to overtime, where they ended it at the 13:00 minute mark on a Johnny Malandruccolo (SUNY Fredonia) game-winning tally.
In this crazy of season of catching whatever hockey you can, we were fortunate enough to see this outstanding team of future DIII commits play 14 times.
From the photo: 6’5″ 215 lbs. forward Jack Schlifke(16) jumps 5’10” 165 lbs. starting goaltender Nathan Mueller(30) after the team won the game to head to the league’s Frozen Final.
Congratulations to captain Connor Bizal (Buffalo State) for being awarded the tournament’s MVP.
Sacred Heart senior goaltender Josh Benson(30) picked up a 1st shutout of the season (6th overall) with the 4-0 win over Bentley University Falcons (2/4).
The 6′ 190 lbs. net minder had a career year in 2019/2020 and looks to improve on that as he considers his next step to potentially becoming an unrestricted free agent to signing a contract with a pro team.
Boston College Eagles‘ undrafted junior center, captain Marc McLaughlin(25) had the game-winner in a recent 6-2 drubbing over Northeastern University Huskies.
He’s looking good at getting those, as he’s credited with 5 game-winning tallies, along with 3 shorthanders, a power play and an overall 10 goals and 14 assists in 23 NCAA games with a +16 rating heading into tournament action.
No doubt the 6′ 205 lbs. North Billerica, MA native gets some looks as an unrestricted free agent once his college career is up.
