U18s heading to Michigan
To make up for my error in the previous Michigan/U18s post on brothers Bryan and Matt Rust and cousins (the error: originally listed them as brothers) Austin and Robbie Czarnik, here are the U18s committed to Michigan:
Goalie: Jack Campbell was featured in an earlier blog post.
Forwards: Luke Moffatt and Jacob Fallon who has a brother, but it’s not the former Cats goaltender. Fallon was on suspension from the team during their trip to Boston so I have no images to share.
On D – Kevin Clare and Jon Merrill
Merrill does have a hockey-playing brother, Greg Merrill of the Bay State Breakers (EJHL) who is currently uncommitted:
Price brothers
First – I did doublecheck this one – not only do both player bios list the same parent names, but Matt Price’s BC bio lists “younger brother Jeremy”.
Forward Matt Price is Boston College’s new captain while his younger brother Jeremy is a freshman defenseman at Colgate University.
Siblings (or not) – Michigan/Under 18s
Two current Wolverines who previously played on the Under-18 team have younger brothers relatives on the National Team Development Program’s 2009-2010 Under 18 team. Neither younger brother player has committed to Michigan – Bryan Rust has committed to Notre Dame while Austin Czarnik is afaik currently uncommitted. Note: I was sloppy and screwed up – Austin and Robbie Czarnik are cousins, not brothers (thanks Chris!). Oops!
Michigan at Boston University
The Boston University Terriers defeated the University of Michigan Wolverines 3-2 on Saturday, October 24, 2009 at Agganis Arena in Boston, Massachusetts. Michigan came back midway through the third period after getting behind 2-0 first on an error by Kieran Millan on a shot by Robbie Czarnik and then tying up on a Matt Rust shot. With less than 3 minutes to go, Joe Pereira took advantage of Bryan Hogan’s ‘absence’ to score the gamewinner.
Much more importantly on Saturday – Leigh Tiffin kicked for four successful field goals and Terrence Cody blocked TWO field goal attempts by the Tennessee Volunteers to keep the Alabama Crimson Tide perfect. Yes!!
I would like to thank the salesperson who insisted on the DVR option which allowed me to watch the game once I got home from hockey.
Colgate at Lowell
The University of Massachusetts-Lowell River Hawks defeated the Colgate University Red Raiders 5-3 on Friday, October 23, 2009.
