Haven’t featured a Swede in a gallery since October 3 so thought a quick post was needed. Carl Hagelin is a junior at the University of Michigan and barring injury should play in his 100th game for the team this season. Great that he remained at Michigan despite being assigned the worst roommate (too bad Quick and Milano couldn’t have roomed together). Hagelin was also a member of Sweden’s U20 team at the 2008 WJC.

The Boston College Eagles defeated the Merrimack College Warriors 4-3 on Friday, October 30, 2009.

Check out the displays next time you are at Conte (hopefully either Friday, November 6 for the next women’s home game or Saturday, November 7 when there is a doubleheader – women at 2 pm; men at 7 pm) – the men’s display has been changed and the center section has Brock Bradford’s 2009 Male Eagle of the Year. While BC was defeating Merrimack, Bradford was scoring his first professional goal and following that up by scoring in the shootout and helping his Lake Erie Monsters defeat Ben Bishop’s Peoria Rivermen.

Watching the rerun of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers game against the University of Alaska-Anchorage while working on BC/Merrimack images.  Thought I’d throw these galleries up to celebrate the players’ first collegiate goals.

Was waiting to finish the Syracuse University Orange at Boston College Eagles 10/9/09 full gallery to post the Motherwells.  BC has had a lot of brothers follow each other to the Heights, but they aren’t limited to brother pairs.  Senior forward and alternate captain Matt Lombardi followed his sister Michelle (2003-07) to BC (unfortunately never shot her)

and this year Ashley Motherwell has followed her brother Brett (2005-08).
 

While preparing my Syracuse roster for photo captions, I noticed a few familiar names.  Syracuse also has a sister following her brother onto the ice with Kelly Dimmen whose brother Jeff plays defense (and wears the A) for the University of Maine Black Bears. (Naturally I started this post before I finished editing and didn’t realize that Kelly Dimmen did not play in the game - oops.)
 

Syracuse also has a pair of twins on the team, freshman forwards Isabel and Talia Menard.

The Menards aren’t the only twins on the Syracuse roster, forward Stefanie Marty is the twin sister of Northeastern’s Julia Marty (earlier blog gallery).  Stefanie has also played for Switzerland.

 

Finally, another familiar looking name sent me to Google where I discovered that Keeta Koalska is the second cousin of former Minnesota Golden Gopher Matt Koalska, not a sister.

Was hoping to get a gallery finished & related sibling post up today, but looks like I won’t finish until tomorrow so copying a little from yesterday, but substituting the University of Denver for Michigan.

Matt Donovan, another Denver Pioneer freshman, took part in USA Hockey’s Under-20 evaluation camp in August – earlier Matt Donovan gallery.  Donovan went to Denver from the Cedar Rapids Roughriders of the USHL.
