AMESBURY, Mass. - The Hockey East Association today announced the 2023-24 Pro Ambitions All-Rookie Team and six other season-long awards as voted by the men’s league’s 11 head coaches. The awards come as part of the celebration of the 39th annual Hockey East Tournament, which begins tonight.
The 2023-24 Pro Ambitions All-Rookie Team consists of six players and five forwards, including three unanimous selections in Boston College’s Ryan Leonard (Amherst, Mass.), Gabe Perreault (Hinsdale, Ill.), and Boston University’s Macklin Celebrini (Vancouver, B.C.). The team is rounded out by two Eagles, Will Smith (Lexington, Mass.) and goaltender Jacob Fowler (Melbourne, Fla.), and Maine’s Bradly Nadeau (St-François-de-Madawaska, N.B.)
Also recognized were a pair of defensive awards, as Boston University senior Cade Webber (Meadville, Pa.) has been named Hockey East’s Best Defensive Defenseman after setting the NCAA single-season record with 118 blocks this year, while Northeastern junior Justin Hryckowian (L’Île-Bizard, Que.) was voted Gladiator Custom Mouthguards Best Defensive Forward for the second consecutive season.
Two statistical awards have been formally announced, both awarded to a Boston University freshman for the second straight season. Celebrini claimed the Hockey East Scoring Champion crown, posting 44 points on 23 goals and 21 assists in 23 league games. He was also honored with the Hockey East Three Stars Award as he compiled the highest total number of points earned when named a first, second, or third star of the game in Hockey East contests. Lane Hutson (North Barrington, Ill.) took home both last season. Hockey East’s highest sportsmanship award has been bestowed upon a duo of defensemen who served as captains of their team.
Boston College senior Eamon Powell (Marcellus, N.Y.) and Massachusetts junior Ryan Ufko (Smithtown, N.Y.) will be presented with the Len Ceglarski Sportsmanship Award, given by the league to one player who has consistently demonstrated superior conduct and sportsmanship on and off the ice. The Northeastern Huskies are acknowledged with the Charlie Holt Team Sportsmanship Award for accruing the fewest average penalty minutes per Hockey East game, the third time the Huskies have earned the honor.
Hockey East will announce the 2023-24 All-Star Teams on Friday, March 15 at 10:00 a.m. The league will then announce finalists for the Player, Rookie, and Coach of the Year awards on Monday, March 18.

I saw this on Twitter. If you don’t know Beacon Street Ball, in my opinion, he’s excellent. Knowledgeable. Fair. He’s more prevalent on the other BC site.

Anyway. Do you agree with his take?

Here's everything I saw/jotted down on Day 1...Will have a recap of pressers from BOB, TC and DE ASAP

He's still a man of few words, but definitely warming up to the media more than Phil ever did, so that's a plus...

Kevin has a bunch of posts

BC leads BU 10-0 in the FIRST PERIOD
BU does not have a shot on goal

four ... maybe five tops?

TV: The high profile 5:30pm CW Network game
Line: BC -4.5
Will I bet this game? Yes. In the words of one of the world's greatest thinkers, Dalton. NYU Philosophy major. Pain don't hurt.


Bshay21 bet: BC moneyline/ND ML/Clemson +3.5. +1672.

Vinny and other assistants were with BOB at the Coaches Clinic at Gillette today. Caught up with him for a few...

One of my wife's and my best friends died this week after a 23 year fight against the hated disease. She had metastatic breast cancer.

My brother (a distinguished BC grad) just began participation in a clinical study for his pancreatic cancer.

My sister was diagnosed this week with small cell carcinoma in the bladder and likely elsewhere. She starts 3 day a week chemo this week.

I would appreciate any prayers aimed their way. Thank you very much.

Just flew in with family … staying just north of the Gothic Quarter.

Any must sees or must go to restaurants?

as a result of BU loss last night
