Really enjoyed the process of writing this story. Huge thanks to Ben and the whole MacDonald family for being so open. Big things ahead for one of the many uber-talented players in New England prep.

Please keep Bulldog and @MiltonAcad_puck forward Jake Thibeault in your prayers. Jake had a collision yesterday at the EAK tourney and suffered a spinal cord injury and small brain bleed. He's got limited mobility in lower extremities. Jake to nurses today.."I'm ready to fight"

Boston College Hockey is heartbroken over the passing of Jimmy Hayes. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hayes family.

Always nice to write about a fellow Granite Stater. Had a lot of fun with this one. Hope you enjoy!

Chase Clark commits to Quinnipiac. Check out my story on the New York goaltender in the latest issue of @NYHockeyJournal after his sixth-round selection in the 2021 draft.

The Penguins have signed goaltender Filip Lindberg to a two-year, entry-level contract. Lindberg, 22, enjoyed a career year in 2020.21 playing collegiate hockey with the University of Massachusetts. Details: https://t.co/iOLdF9aREz

Hearing David Krejci coming back to Bruins. Good source- the one that has told me all along that team & player wanted to get it done, as reported to @Johnston985 & Flynn on Sunday. Deal being finalized. Big piece in place to lock up top-6

Just finished up several stories for the upcoming issue of @NEHockeyJournal that I'm really excited about. Should be a great magazine, filled with a tremendous #NHLDraft package and tons of additional content on local prospects.

Slices at Antonio's on Makar.

Ryan Leonard makes the NTDP. Check out my feature on the Amherst native in the latest issue of @NEHockeyJournal the mag! https://t.co/wZs9M9gbhE…

President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the team has signed defenseman Marc Del Gaizo to a three-year, entry-level contract. https://t.co/WZNGwclnuB

Re-sharing this story in the wake of the Zac Jones news today. He had quite the two season at UMass, all while filling the role of the recently departed Cale Makar. Excited to see him play with that young @NYRangers core in the coming years.

Another piece falls into place. ☑️ Congrats, Zac! Welcome to #NYR.

#NYR do make a trade deadline addition: Rangers are close to signing 3rd-round pick Zac Jones out of UMass after winning the national title. Jones will report to Rangers, he’s burning the first year of his deal and #NYR expect him to be in lineup after quarantine.

Four years ago, UMass hockey brought in a stacked senior class. Now that senior class won a national title. @noah_bortle writes about how that class—even without the Makars and the Ferraros—took home the trophy.

UMass announces Carson Gicewicz, Filip Lindberg and Henry Graham are cleared to travel to Pittsburgh for the national championship.

Feels like a good time to reshare this story. Not at all surprised to see the kind of year Trivigno’s had, especially after last season was cut short. Kid’s been waiting for this one. https://t.co/6tjbW3zcwm…

Earlier this season, Greg Carvel dubbed D-man Matthew Kessel "the best NHL prospect" on @UMassHockey. This is a story on how crazy Kessel's path to UMass and becoming a St. Louis Blues draft pick really was. For @MDC_Sports: https://t.co/7HaaTlaOEN
