Montreal Canadiens prospect Sean Farrell expected to be playing college hockey at Harvard this season. When the Ivy League’s decided not to run a hockey schedule this year due to Covid-19, Farrell was forced to play one more season of Junior hockey.
And what a season it was.
Farrell returned to the Chicago Steel of the USHL, which is USA’s best Junior hockey circuit. He had led the league in assists in 2019-20 and finished in the top ten in points, so a big year was expected in 2020-21.
