10 uncommitted standouts from Week 4 of Foxboro Prep League

FOXBORO, Mass. — It was the fourth week of the Foxboro Prep League, which is held every Wednesday until Aug. 22 at Foxboro Sports Center.

Various top '08s were away this week as they embarked on USA Hockey's Select 16 Camp. Still, the games were good.

The highlight of the night was Team Walsh, led by Bowdoin men's hockey assistant coach Sean Walsh, running a neutral zone trap against Team Moran, which Ian Moran coaches. Nothing hits quite like a trap at 9 p.m. on a Wednesday night in July. The move worked, as Team Walsh snuck away with a 2-1 win.

The magic of the Foxboro Prep League.

Here are 10 uncommitted standouts from the three games.

Brady Boisvert

Team Omicioli/Undecided, 8/14/2007, F, right shot, 5-7/155
Hometown: Pembroke, Mass. 

Boisvert appeared to get faster when he had the puck on his stick. The Lovell Academy product used his speed and shiftiness to navigate the neutral zone and gain offensive zone entries for his team. His best play of the night came on a goal late in the second half when he found a soft spot in front of the net to tap one in.

Colvin Callahan

Team Omicioli/Tabor, 2/9/2007, F, right shot, 5-10/154
Hometown: Lexington, Mass. 

Callahan showed a nice ability to drive play, gaining the offensive zone for his team. In the second half of his game against Team Cox, he had a nice zone entry and dangle to the slot. He eventually passed it to Boisvert for a scoring chance. Callahan, who played this past winter for Xaverian, will head to Tabor this coming season. That's a great add by head coach Gerry Dineen.

SELECT 17s: 10 standouts, takeaways from the New England District at Select 17 Camp | 12 standouts, takeaways from the Massachusetts District at Select 17 Camp

Aiden Ferreira

Team Donatelli/St. George's, 1/17/2007, F, right shot, 5-10/160
Hometown: Warwick, R.I. 

Ferreira was able to create plays with good hands in tight while driving the net. I also liked his ability to make quick, accurate passes to teammates in the offensive zone and then get open near the net. Ferreira quietly posted 23 points in 28 games as a sophomore for St. George's last year. Expect a jump this coming winter.

Declan Grenache

Team Walsh/Williston Northampton, 2/4/2007, F, left shot, 5-9/161
Hometown: Sutton, Mass. 

Grenache ended up potting the game-winning goal in his matchup with Team Moran. Late in the second half, he got a pass from Luke Pazzia out front and deposited it. But it was Grenache's work up to that point that made him a standout. He showcased great edgework, especially when he had the puck and needed to evade defenders. He also showed great speed when he had the puck on his stick, darting past defenders.

Brady Hanlon

Team Omicioli/Dexter Southfield, 3/20/2007, F, right shot, 5-8/150
Hometown: Auburndale, Mass. 

What stood out most with Hanlon was his compete. He worked his tail off to get to loose pucks. That paid off late in the second half when he read the play correctly and hustled to force a turnover in the offensive zone. He grabbed the puck and dished it to Bosivert, who scored.

Evan Handler

Team Cox/Rivers, 3/19/2007, D, right shot, 5-9/155
Hometown: Walpole, Mass. 

Handler's offensive abilities are well documented and they were on display Wednesday night. Early in the first half of his game against Team Omicioli, he stepped up in the neutral zone, intercepted a play and created a 2-on-1 going the other way. That's when he hit Rivers teammate Justin Graf (Lincoln, Mass.) with a pass for a goal. Handler jumped into the offense quite a bit throughout Wednesday's game.

Billy MacAusland

Team Holske/Nobles, 8/4/2007, F, left shot, 5-10/160
Hometown: Westwood, Mass. 

It was another great showing for MacAusland. He helped his older brother, Teddy, notch a goal on a sweet give-and-go in transititon. But MacAusland's best play came at the end of the first half when he went end-to-end for a nice finish. This league is great for players to become more creative with the puck, which MacAusland has no issue engaging in. His hands are really good in tight.

Teddy MacAusland

Team Holske/Nobles, 1/13/2006, F, right shot, 5-9/165
Hometown: Westwood, Mass. 

As just mentioned, MacAusland scored a nice goal to tie the game, 2-2, late in the first half when he grabbed the puck in the neutral zone, took it into the offensive zone himself and dished it to his younger brother, Billy, who sent it right back to him for the goal. MacAusland's vision, skill and shiftiness make him a prime candidate to thrive in these kinds of games.

Joe Marchi

Team Cox/Dexter Southfield, 10/30/2007, F, right shot, 5-8/170
Hometown: Foxboro, Mass. 

Marchi is one of the better overall players among all six teams. He has such quick hands and uses his shiftiness so well to get to open ice. On Wednesday night, he made quick passes in transition to get up ice faster and took smart routes to get open again. Marchi will be an interesting prospect to track as he enters his junior year at Dexter Southfield.

Cole Pouliot-Porter

Team Holske/New Hampton, 7/24/2006, G, catches left, 6-1/168
Hometown: Wrentham, Mass. 

No doubt Pouliot-Porter would want the first two goals he gave up back. One was a trickler through his legs, while the other was off a rebound he thought he fully had. That was early, however, and the Xaverian product settled in nicely. He faced a lot of rubber in the second half as Team Donatelli fought back hard. Pouliot-Porter's ability to get out to the top of his crease and get fully square to shots was an encouraging sign. His athleticism helped him on many east-west chances. He's a great pick-up for New Hampton.
