Isn't Harrison the guy who went to stampede and won a motorbike/dirtbike two times? I remember a story like that.

With a third of their roster playing for Gold in Montreal, BU had to take on a strong Union College team on Thursday night. They trailed 4-3 with less than 3 minutes to play in the third. Hickey assisted on the tying goal to force OT. BU scored in OT to win it, 5-4.

Hickey now has a 3 game point streak, and a point in 5 of his last 6 games played. He has 9 points (3G/6A) in 18 games.

The Terriers' next game is outdoors on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.

No rest for Fox. After winning a WJC gold yesterday and the semifinals the day before, back in the lineup for Harvard and already has an assist on this goal:

and he picks up another assist. 4-1 Harvard.

18 points in 12 games and still half the game to play

2 assists, not bad for 3 games in 3 nights and being so hungover.

Harvard is playing Princeton right now (just started). If you have access to ESPN 3, the game is being televised.

BU's game today at Fenway was postponed. It will be played tomorrow at 11:30am MT. It will be available on TSN-Go.


Colgate doesn't play again until next Friday.

and Adam Fox scores a goal in his 4th game in 4 consecutive nights.

2-1 Harvard

Adam Fox is really good at hockey

I'd be pretty surprised if we don't offer him a contract in the spring.

I don't see the Flames rushing him to the Pros. If he was a bigger guy I would say you might be right, but I would be surprised if he doesn't play at least another season in Harvard before signing a contract. He wasn't exactly a standout in WJC being on the 3rd pairing for the US.

Those Harvard highlights are crisp!

[Beninho]

Kid is so so good on the PP, thought he was great in the final, 3pts and that pass on the tying goal was amazing. Defensively I didn't think he was bad, did he make some mistakes? Yes. Does he have to work on his defensive game? Of course, most D prospects at his age need to. His vision is amazing and his offensive games seems to be very polished. He keeps up this offensive output throughout the whole year he will have a historic season

[Beninho]

Also he seems like he's good friends with Parsons (stood next to him during most of the post game anthems) and is friends with Tkachuk (has pics on Instagram with him). Also seeing how other Americans are playing with the Flames will be big in getting him to sign as well. I have no worries about him not signing with the Flames.

Of course, it's the Ivy League Digital Network - not the AHL.

After starting the season ranked 12th, Harvard has steadily been moving up the rankings of the USCHO.com weekly poll. This week, they find themselves comfortably in 2nd place behind Denver. They received 11 first place votes.

BU is also doing well with a 5th place ranking.

I'd be surprised if the guy doesn't follow the free agency route, given that he goes to school at Harvard University. Unless he absolutely hates school, why abandon an Ivy league education?

I never said Fox wouldn't sign with the Flames, did I? The Flames offer the best opportunity because they can burn an ELC year - something no other team can do. But there's no doubt the kid goes to year 4 of his NCAA career if he's got a gravy scholarship at Harvard University and likes being at school. I know I liked being at school, except at midterms and finals time.

But if I was the star defenseman and celebrity draft pick at Harvard, I would be having a REALLY good time every night as a single young man.

As a side point Harvard doesn't offer scholarships but they do offer grants. Fox's financial situation isn't known.

After that point, grants are awarded, the result rarely being a full scholarship, but ALWAYS a package that permits EVERY admitted student to attend Harvard without unreasonable financial sacrifice, need for a full-time job or excessive borrowing.
