The Boston College hockey season unofficially started with a tough 5-2 loss on Saturday to the University of New Brunswick in an exhibition game. Here are some observations from Saturday:
1. Thatcher Demko looked healthy... Not only did Demko play, he looked comfortable and confident between the pipes. After the game, Jerry York suggested that Demko could be ready to go for 60 minutes on Friday in West Point.
He certainly showed no ill effects from his offseason hip surgery, moving with ease and gobbling up everything that was thrown in his direction.
