I have finally received the tentative schedule for next year for Boston College (see below). The BC hockey office also sent me media stories on the 2 official early signings, Marty Reasoner (article in The New England Prep School SportsPage) and Andy Powers (article from Eagle Action!) I would be happy to forward these to anyone who is interested; let me know. Reasoner is very highly regarded and Powers follows his father's footsteps (BC captain in 1970-71.) Coach Jerry York is quoted as saying that Powers will probably play at forward next year because BC is losing 6 forwards, but that Powers is versatile and probably a better defensive player. The other recruits for next year (listed in an earlier post that gave the details from last week's Boston Globe) are apparently all going to be walk-ons. There may be the possibility of scholarships in the future for some of these players; as most of you know, BC still has a limited number of scholarships following the Cedorchuk era. As a clue to how things work at BC, along with the hockey information I received a BC 1995 Football schedule sheet and 10 pocket-sized football schedule cards. If anyone wants BC football schedule info, send me mail. 1995-96 BOSTON COLLEGE HOCKEY SCHEDULE - 74TH SEASON (tentative) OCTOBER Fri 13 Michigan State (at Great Western Freezeout) 9:00pm Sun 15 Maine or Miami (at Great Western Freezeout) 3:00pm Sun 22 ALUMNI GAME (exhibition) 2:00pm Fri 27 at Notre Dame 7:00pm NOVEMBER Fri 3 PROVIDENCE 7:00pm Sat 4 at Providence 7:00pm Fri 10 NORTHEASTERN 7:00pm Sat 11 at Northeastern 7:00pm Fri 17 at Maine 7:00pm Sat 18 at Maine 7:00pm Fri 24 CLARKSON 7:00pm Sat 25 ST.

The schedule listed the Beanpot tournament location as Boston Garden, but the name probably will be the Fleet Center.
