Prospects: Regular Season Review
The New England Hockey Journal’s Kirk Luedeke contributes an in-depth feature to the Boston Bruins Prospect report every edition.
BostonBruins.com — The 2012 NHL playoffs are underway and with that, here is a final quick look at the Boston Bruins prospects under age 25 after the 2011-12 regular season.
Prospect Report: Knight
BostonBruins.com – Currently sitting in first place in the OHL’s Western Conference, the London Knights are closing in on a stellar campaign, but there’s still more work to be done.
There’s just three games left in the regular season, and if the Knights win out they will be the only team in the league to reach the 50-win plateau.
Leading that effort is Boston Bruins prospect Jared Knight, who has 25 goals and 26 assists (51 points) in 49 games played.
Boston Bruins Prospect Notes & Roundup
BostonBruins.com – 2011 Bruins draft picks Alexander Khokhlachev and Dougie Hamilton finished the 2012 World Jr. Championship with a silver and bronze medal, respectively.
Russia dropped the gold medal game to Sweden in a 1-0 overtime loss after winning a rousing 6-5 semi-final game over Canada that saw Hamilton and his mates score four third period goals to nearly tie the game late. Khokhlachev or “Koko” tallied a goal and assist in that game, while Hamilton did the same.
Both players finished the tournament with solid performances, earning praise from scouts and observers. Hamilton played the last two minutes and change with Canada down by one score, showing the kind of faith head coach Don Hay had in his two-way ability.
Prospect Report: Cross
BostonBruins.com – It‟s been nearly five years since defenseman Tommy Cross was selected by the Boston Bruins (35th overall, 2007) and the Boston College captain has had some time to sharpen his game while playing for an elite NCAA program.
“I‟m a completely different player right now,” Cross said. “I‟m much more mature, bigger and stronger and my skating is a little better. I‟ve been more consistent and that comes with growing.
“I‟ve had time to develop and grow at BC, and it‟s been a great place for my development.”
Prospect Report: Cunningham
BostonBruins.com – With 41 games under his belt in Providence, Craig Cunningham is well into his first professional season in Black & Gold.
However, like any first year player, Cunningham is dealing with the new realities that come with progressing from junior hockey to the AHL.
“I didn‟t realize how tough the league really is and how tight it is,” said Cunningham , selected by the Boston Bruins as a 97th pick overall in the 2010 NHL entry draft. “It takes a bit of time to adjust, but slowly I am adjusting and trying to get better each day.”
