            Boston College has a young team. Their top 4 scorers are 2 freshman and 2 sophomores. To take it even further we have to go to the 10 top point getters to find our first senior.

            This has affected the leadership of the Boston College Eagles for the 2015 season. In the second month of the season Boston College had 6 loses and 3 wins and 1 tie. This was a time when the younger players started getting the experience and the younger players started to lead.

            January they had 6 wins 1 loss and 1 tie and they were starting to find their grove. The games have gotten a lot harder as the season progressed for the young Eagles. Over their last 10, starting in February, they have lost 4, tied one and won 5. The loses were to Northeastern in the Bean Pot, 2-3 OT loss to Vermont at home, a 1-3 loss at Notre Dame (They did beat the Irish the night before) and last night 1-3 loss again to Vermont.

            Boston College young guns are in a big contest with Vermont. Vermont are fighting for their lives. If the Catamounts lose their season is over. They will not advance to the NCAA like the Eagles. The Catamounts are playing with an edge and you can see it with the extra hitting, the follow through and the in your face attitude they have.

            Boston College cannot lose their focus and continue to skate just like York preaches. The Eagle’s will have to trust their sophomore goalie Thatcher Demko.        Boston College has the talent, as you can see the NHL clubs have drafted 7 out of the 10 players listed above. Noah Hanafin should be a top 3 pick in the next NHL draft. 

The 2 teams play tonight at Conte Forum which gives a little edge to the Eagles. They young players are starting to find themselves and as the season wears on they could be a dangerous team.
