Gaudreau's to BC
With the loss of John Gaudreau ,5'7-145lbs, and his brother, Northeastern has lost very skilled forwards to rival BC. The main reason that the Gaudreau brothers are headed out of Northeastern is the departure of coach Greg Cronin who left for a job in the NHL. John grew up playing for the Little Flyer and Comcast program under his dad, Guy, and Jared Beach. After playing for the U18 Comcast team two years ago, John headed to Dubuque in the USHL. John, the older of the two, is probably the hottest name in the Atlantic area right now after winning the Clark Cup in Dubuque, Winning Rookie of the Year, and being drafted in the 4th round by Calgary all within 2 months of one another.
The Gaudreau boys went on a Hockey East "Tour" as they visited several schools like UNH, UVM, and BU. Apparently they liked coach Jerry York best, and liked the deals for both of them even more. His brother, Matt, played for Comcast in the AYHL/Elite League this past year. Matt is a '94 birthyear and will head to Omaha in the USHL this year and most likely spend 2 years there because he is slated to matriculate at BC in 2013.
The Gaudreau's become the second and third to de-commit from one school to head to BC along with Dan Linell, formerly a Harvard recruit.
