Justin Carbonneau in the NCAA at Boston College: it’s all over the news!

At 18, leaving the QMJHL to go to the NCAA might be more interesting for the player’s development… and it might also help him at the next draft.

Justin Carbonneau has been truly dominant this season and will be even more so next year. Being the best at a “weaker” level isn’t always ideal…

There’s a lot of talent in the NCAA and the guys are older too. You can see that a youngster’s progression can be easier at university level, and at Boston College, Carbonneau would be just as well surrounded.

Especially if James Hagens decides to stay another year…

Let’s not forget that Carbonneau’s name has been linked to that of the Canadiens in recent weeks, and that the Canadiens organization already has a connection with Boston College.

Habs officials love the players who play over there in Boston, and it makes you wonder if seeing Carbonneau join Boston College next year might change some things in the club’s vision.

All in all, the news is interesting… but it would also be a blow to the QMJHL, which would see one of its best young players leave the circuit.

We’ll be keeping an eye on this in the coming days.

Overtime

– Yikes.

– Incroyable!

– Nice.

– At least the Jays were able to go for the W.
