Northeastern concluded its big week on the recruiting trail with a commitment from Belmont Hill right wing James Fisher.
The 2004 birth-year player from Wilmington, Mass., has taken great strides over the past 18 months after showing potential, dating back to his days as an underage player with the Junior Bruins 16-U. His stock began to soar last fall when he dazzled on the top line with the East Coast Wizards 16-U.
Fisher is a big power forward with the ability to finish. He uses his size, length and powerful stride to protect pucks and separate from opposing defenders. He drives the net and will shoot it from anywhere.
In addition to Fisher, Northeastern also received commitments from two other '04s last week. Dexter Southfield and Cape Cod Whalers right wing Grayson Badger (Hyde Park, Mass.) and Des Moines Buccaneers right wing Ethan Fredericks also pledged their allegiance to the Huskies. The three players are the first big-time commits for Northeastern since Jerry Keefe was promoted to head coach and Mike Levine was added as an associate head coach.
NHL draft pick commits to Bobcats
Tri-City Storm goaltender Chase Clark has committed to Quinnipiac. The 2021 sixth-round NHL draft pick of the Washington Capitals will arrive in Hamden for the start of the 2022-23 season.
Clark, an '02 from Williamsville, N.Y., played most of the 2020-21 season for the Jersey Hitmen in the USPHL NCDC. In 22 regular-season appearances, Clark went 18-2-1 with a .935 save percentage. The 6-foot-6 netminder also got the start in three games for Tri-City, posting a .899 save percentage.
Clark’s arrival in 2022-23 fits nicely into Quinnipiac’s goaltending plans as they have a one-year stop gap with grad transfer Dylan St. Cyr for this upcoming season. St. Cyr played and graduated from Notre Dame.
