Gregg Drinnan over at Taking Note (the top Major Jr. Blog in Western Canada in my humble opinion) has this programming note:
Rogers Sportsnet Pacific is going to provide coverage of the 57th annual Beanpot tournament from Boston. Two games are set for Monday (Feb. 2), with Boston University playing Harvard at 2 p.m. (all times Pacific) and Boston College meeting Northeastern at 5 p.m. The tournament final is scheduled for Feb. 9 at 5 p.m. . . . If you don’t have access to Sportsnet Pacific, check the listings because I believe the Boston College-Northeastern game also will be on Sportsnet East, with the tournament final on East, Ontario and Pacific. . . . According to a Sportsnet release, “The rosters for all four of the New England-based college hockey teams include 24 Canadian-born players.”
Vees Alumni Eric Kroshus is on the Harvard Roster.
Vees Forwards Ryan Johansen and Brodie Reid are committed to Northeastern,who haven’t won the Boston Tournament in ages.
Former BCHLers at the event include:
HARVARD: Freshman F - Eric Kroshus (Vees Alum and Camrose Kodiak), Freshman F - Daniel Moriarty (Alberni Valley Bulldogs and Melville Millionaires)
BOSTON UNIVERSITY: Freshman G - Grant Rollheiser (Trail Smoke Eaters), Senior F - Brandon Yip (Coquitlam Express)
