The deicsion was only held up because he wanted to let Quebec and Providence first. No real surprise it didn't take long.

Jon Gillies is taking his talents to Providence College next fall after announcing his decision to Future Considerations Monday.

Providence has some pretty good incoming guys, with De Jersey, Jankowski, and now Gillies.
I've heard good things about Nick Ellis ('13) too, so they should have a solid tandem in net.

That seems like a lateral move at best. There's nothing really wrong with a goalie going to a mid-level program in a tough conference though. Plenty of goalies have gone onto strong NHL careers under the same circumstances. Look at where Quick is right now.

Well it's Quebec, Arguably the most popular CHL franchise(brand wise) the richest, (they're by like Vidoetron or something like the owner of videotron if im right) Patrick Roy is their coach( Roy enough said) figured he was gunna go there...
Kudos to him for sticking with his principles, that says something, kinda surprised he didn't go to a bigger college though..

All these "bigger colleges" have bonafide starters and Gillies made it clear he doesnt want to be a back-up when he decommitted from Northeastern with Chris Rawlings returning for his senior year.
O kk, by bigger I meant, well in name lol.... Where will he rank amongst hockey east goalies ?

He could be in the top half. With Joe Cannata (Merrimack) and Kieran Millan (Boston University) graduating there's no goaltender head and shoulders above another.
Right now my opinion the top three are Parker Milner (Boston College); Doug Carr (UMass-Lowell); and Chris Rawlings (Northeastern) who I think will have a bounce back year.
After that maybe Dan Sullivan of Maine and Casey DeSmith of New Hampshire, but you I think its fair to slot Gillies in the 4th-6th ranked best goalie in Hockey East coming into the season.

wouldn't be upset if the Oilers took a chance on Jon Gillies with one of their two 3rd round picks.

A 3.9 GPA at one of the toughest (if not the toughest) schools in Indiana.

Roy says Gillies' father told him the amount of the scorlarship he wanted for his son if he played for Quebec but Roy said no. If he had said yes, he was breaking a QMJHL's rule and he didn't want that.
