Terrance Amorosa '14 from Kirkland, Quebec, Canada was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers yesterday in the fifth round of the NHL draft, 132nd overall. Terrance had nine goals and 13 assists last season for the Bulls, and helped the team compete in the NEPSAC Championships back in February - March 2013. He had committed to play with the Sioux City Musketeers (USHL) next season.

Allie Skelley, Terrance's coach was excited by the news: "I think I speak for the whole Holderness community when I say that we are excited and very proud of Terrance. Obviously he is an outstanding hockey player but we also know that he is an even better person. Terrance has been a huge part of the Holderness hockey program's recent success. He has tremendous skill that I have no doubt will translate to the next level. I look forward to watching him to continue to grow as a player and a person at the next level."

Terrance Amorosa, UNH commit drafted by the Flyers. Connor Clifton, Quinnipiac, taken by Phoenix. Both fifth round.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

UNH commit eh?

 

[Random Forest]

He was a junior at prep school last year. Put up 26 points in 29 games from the blueline, so not too bad.

Holderness doesn't exactly play the strongest prep schedule, though. UNH should be good for him.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

He doesn't look like a goon so I guess it's an improvement.

That makes me feel way better. I thought we had drafted a goon again, but that sounds more like a possible offensive d man.

 

[Krishna]

UNH commit eh?

GFH is gonna love him

 

[Evergreen]

Don't know anything about this guy, but I like to see the Flyers taking three defensemen with their top 4 picks. I think the Goulbourne pick was stupid, but at least we seem to be addressing a need with all the defense picks.

 

[GKJ]

Probably a 4-year college player.

Google maps has the location of the high school pretty far up in New Hampshire, considering that it's New Hampshire.

Terrance Amorosa is not committed to UNH. Apologies for the confusion.

 

[Roo Mad Bro]

His interview was just posted online on the flyers website.

It honestly seems like it's the first time he's ever gotten interviewed.

I thought he did very well. Very composed kid.

My money is on the Flyers talking him into playing in the CHL next year, unless he's hellbent of college. Doesn't seem like he's committed anywhere yet.
