BRUINS PROSPECT ROUNDUP

February in Boston means the Beanpot Tourney, and this year’s 62nd annual championship game at TD Garden featured several freshmen and Boston Bruins futures. Boston College forward Ryan Fitzgerald faced defender Matt Ben-ning and the rest of a rising Northeastern squad, which gave the power-house Eagles all they could handle in a game that went down to the wire before BC pulled away late. In fact, the 4-1 fi nal score was not indicative of how truly close the game was, as the Huskies threatened overtime be-fore two quick strikes put the pesky bunch from Huntington Ave. away. For Fitzgerald, it was his fi rst Beanpot Trophy (and the team’s fi fth consecu-tive February triumph) and the Eagles could lay claim to Boston College hockey supremacy for some time to come.

NU has built a versatile, gritty bunch that includes the freshman Ben-ning, who also happens to be B’s Assistant GM Jim Benning’s nephew. The sixth-round draft choice from 2012 is an Alberta native who came to Boston after a championship season with the USHL’s Dubuque Fighting Saints. Although Benning does not possess ideal height for the modern NHL, he has a thick build and plays a rugged, physical style. He may not have many standout tools, but he is the epitome of a Boston Bruins type player: he skates well, thinks the game at a high level, has an active stick with strong gap control, and brings a pugnacious temperament with him to each shift. In short, Benning plays bigger than his modest size and has the NHL pedigree inherited from his father, Brian Benning (568 career big league games) and uncle (610). In an organization that can afford to take the time to fully develop its prospects, Benning looks like a solid option to be a middle or bottom-pair on defense after NCAA and AHL seasoning. Fitzgerald has been a revelation as an impact freshman, validating his reputation in New England circles as one of the area’s top local hockey talents in producing at nearly a point-per-game clip for Jerry York’s club. After returning from Sweden upon competing in the World Jr. Champion-ship tournament early last month, Boston University d-man Matt Grzel-cyk suffered an injury, costing him the remainder of the 2013-14 season. The loss made a diffi cult season for the Terriers even tougher, as Grzel-cyk’s speed and skill is clearly missed. He did not skate in BU’s fi rst-round Beanpot loss to archrival BC, and his absence is acutely felt by the rest of his teammates, who will relish his return to action next fall. Hotchkiss defenseman and Boston’s 2013 fi fth-round pick Wiley Sher-man will join the Beanpot tradition when he arrives in Cambridge in the fall. The Bearcats’ captain is a huge (6-foot-6), mobile, shutdown defender who plays a simple, yet effective game. Sherman is raw and lacks a natural snarl to his style, but with his fl uid skating, smarts, and long reach, oppo-nents have a diffi cult time getting around him. He’ll likely become a staple on Harvard’s blue line from the get-go, and will provide the B’s the benefi t of developing right in their backyard under the watchful eye of another former Crimson rearguard who played more than 1,000 NHL games with the Black and Gold.

Bruins Prospect Snapshot: Ryan Fitzgerald, C Boston College (Hockey East) Scouting Report: Although his smallish frame and lack of explosiveness might have deterred some NHL teams from taking him in the top-100 at the last draft, Fitzgerald’s immediate impact in the NCAA owes much to his sheer talent, drive, and elite hockey IQ. A scrappy, tenacious presence despite the lack of ideal size, Fitzgerald is strong on his skates, with the slick agility and elusiveness that allows him to slip checks and maintain puck possession. His vision and offensive instincts are elite: he processes the play instantly and re-acts much faster than the vast majority of his opponents, often making passes or breaking into open ice with a step on defenders. He has a quick stick that makes him dangerous on draws and underrated shot that he could stand to unleash more. A deft playmaker who can thread the needle and isn’t afraid to take the hit to make the play, Fitzgerald is also a responsible three-zone for-ward who demands a great deal of himself. On track for a 30-point fi rst year at BC, that bodes well for a productive NCAA career as he gains experience and earns a more prominent role going forward. Outlook: The North Reading native and son of former Bruins forward and current Penguins front offi ce member Tom Fitzgerald has long been an area hockey star and two-time state champion with the Malden Catholic Lanc-ers. While the fall from a second-round projection for many was a bit surpris-ing, Fitzgerald has done an excellent job of putting whatever disappointment he may have felt in Newark and channeling it into an eye-opening performance with the Eagles. The opportunity to one day play for his hometown Bruins orga-nization, where his uncle Scott Fitzgerald is the assistant amateur scouting director, is something that the 19-year-old has embraced. Watch for Fitzgerald to one day carve out a role for himself as a solid third-line NHL player with of-fensive upside, with the benefi t of not having the pressure of elevated expecta-tions or Boston’s needs at forward weighing him down.

Benning & Fitzgerald Get First Beanpot Experience

College hockey’s Beanpot has a special place in Bos-ton.

Revolving around Boston College, Boston University, Harvard and Northeastern, the stage is set at the home of the Bruins, with teams vying for the Beanpot title on TD Garden ice.

No matter where a team sits in their conference standings heading in early Febru-ary, the Beanpot places the student-athletes in a high-pressure situation, with an often sold out crowd.

In its 62nd year, Bruins prospects Ryan Fitzgerald and Matt Benning both had the chance to suit up in their fi rst Beanpot Final as freshmen for their respective teams, Boston College and Northeastern.

A 2013 draft pick of the Bruins (fourth round, 120th overall), Fitzgerald and his BC Eagles wound up on top, thanks to a third-period surge, for the 4-1 win. Benning, a 2012 selection (sixth round, 175th overall) and his Huskies had to settle for second, in a hard-fought battle on the ice surface sporting the Spoked-B at center ice.

Aside from the outcome, the game subtly showcased how far each prospect had come since his draft day, and the development that was taking place in the Bruins’ backyard.

“I have seen some really encouraging signs of progress for both Ryan and Matt, and it was fun to see them square off in the Beanpot Final,” said Bruins Assistant General Manager Don Sweeney. “It should make for a great rivalry as they move through their college years.”

The rivalry will be notched up next year, with both players further developing into roles on their teams, but also with the addition of two more Boston prospects - a healthy Matt Grzelcyk hopefully in the BU lineup (out for the season after shoulder surgery) and Wiley Sherman, a 2013 draft pick who will be beginning at Harvard in the Fall.

“Defi nitely something special,” said Fitzgerald following the game. “Seeing the se-niors win four in a row, it just gives you something to look forward to, and this being my fi rst one, hopefully it’s one of many.”

The forward has taken on a growing role as a freshman at BC, and through 29 games, he’s fourth on the team in both goals (9) and points (23).

“There’s a lot freshman who have pretty big roles. When they call on us, we just try to do our job, do it right, so it’s been fun,” he said.

“Ryan has stepped in and consistently contributed to a very deep and talented BC team that is currently the No. 1 ranked team in college hockey,” said Sweeney. “He has seen playing time on all of the top three lines and he has played both center and left wing, which further validates his versatility and hockey sense as a player.”

Fitzgerald is utilized in all situations on the ice, and as Sweeney describes it, his “200-foot commitment to the details of the game has earned the trust of this coach-es.”

“One thing he’s probably taught me a lot about is defense,” said Fitzgerald, on the infl uence of Head Coach Jerry York. “So I’m getting better at it.”

He also knows that’s a strong emphasis for the Black & Gold.

“They emphasize a lot on defense and being good in all zones, and it’s something I pride myself on now, so it’s been a good development. And that’s probably the area I have to focus on the most,” he said.

Since the NHL Draft in June and Development Camp in July, Fitzgerald said he’s easily become much stronger, while being more aware of his opponent’s strength and how to pick his battles.

“We see Ryan continuing to get stronger in college and developing a more explo-sive fi rst two steps as a skater,” said Sweeney, who often gives pointers and posi-tive feedback to the prospects.

Fitzgerald takes those pointers to heart. “I’m always listening,” he said.

“Ryan’s natural instincts as a player are tremendous and his will to compete and play with a ‘nasty edge’ at times will continue to serve him well as he moves along his college career.”

Similarly, Fitzgerald’s fellow prospect and college hockey rival, defenseman Matt Benning, has an Bruins-style edge to him as well.

In his freshman season with the Huskies, he too has developed a larger role for him-self on his team. So much so, that when the team’s Captain, Josh Manson, was in the penalty box early in the Beanpot semifi nal game, Benning was relied upon to pick up more minutes.

“Matt has become one of the anchors on defense for a real up and coming NU team,” said Sweeney. “He plays in all situations and is showing increased confi -dence and poise with each game.”

“His work off the ice, and in particular with regards to his conditioning, has allowed him to step in and be a very valuable player at the Division 1 college level as a fresh-man. Matt has great hockey sense and he plays a committed game on both sides of the play.”

Through 29 games this season with Northeastern, Benning has three goals and 10 points, with two of those three tallies coming on the power play.

He’s been labeled a smart, puck-moving defenseman, but also has a toughness to his play that raises his battle level - a “quiet toughness,” as his Head Coach Jim Madigan has said.

“I think Coach Madigan reference to Matt’s ‘quiet toughness’ is a real compliment to his character because Matt defends with a high compete level,” said Sweeney. “But he also shows courage while retrieving pucks as he makes plays while under pressure, and often takes a hit to make the correct play on the breakout.”

Even in one game - the Beanpot Final - one could see his calm demeanor protecting his crease and high level of battling along the boards.

“Matt is continuing to work on his overall foot speed and pivots but he has made an impressive transition to the college game,” added Sweeney. “His offensive pro-duction should continue to improve as well because he sees plenty of power play time and with increased familiarity and confi dence, he will look to use his shot more effectively.”

Both Fitzgerald and Benning are young in their college careers, and within the Bruins organization, but they’ll only continue to improve, and showcase that devel-opment, with big stages like the Beanpot.
