I watch NCAA Hockey quite a bit and I am a big fan of Jankowski. I posted this in The Back Burner also, Jankowski hit 40 points over the weekend, he is the first Providence Friar to reach this milestone since 2002-2003. The main reason for this is the defence first philosophy employed by Nate Leaman and the Providence coaching staff.

In his 4 years at Providence he has rounded out his overall game while also being relied on as a leader(He is an Alternate Captain). This year has been a very nice year for Jankowski considering he dealt with injuries earlier in the year that caused him to miss out on being nominated for the Hobey Baker. One more thing I tend to always forget is he is playing his Senior year as a 20-21 year old.

His performance at camp pales in comparison to what he brings to his team night in and night out this year in Providence.

If there is one thing all of us can agree on though is that he is a polarizing figure among Flames fans.
