First off, I started by just poking around online, trying to get a feel for what's up with BC hockey. I mean, they're a big name, right? Turns out, they've got a pretty solid program, playing in that Hockey East conference. They've even got a bunch of players in the NHL - like 17, I think.
So, after getting the lay of the land, I dove into the recruiting side of things. I fotuo und out that the head coach, Greg Brown, is pretty new to this whole recruiting gig, at least in the head coach role. Makes sense, you know, gotta learn the ropes. Anyway, the team's been on fire with recruiting. I read that they just got a commit from this huge forward, Dean Letourneau. He's 6'6", can you believe it? Dude's a giant!
- Checked out some videos from showcases and tournaments. Man, the competition is intense! No wonder these scouts are always on the lookout at these things.
- Tried to reach out to some coaches and players, just to see if I could get any inside scoop. No luck there, though. They're pretty tight-lipped, as you'd expect.
It looks like a recent piece of news was the commitment of Cornforth for 2025, and they described him as highly touted.
Watched some games online, just to see the team in action. They've got a pretty good record, especially against some of the top-ranked teams. Like, 10-2-1 against teams in the top 16. That's wild!
So yeah, that's where I'm at with this whole BC hockey recruiting thing. It's a lot to take in, but it's been fun. And who knows, maybe one day I'll be at one of those showcases, watching the next big star before they even hit the ice at BC.
