As Jack Harney was making the biggest move of his life, his mind was elsewhere.
Harney, 19, graduated from St. Sebastian’s last spring and, still uncommitted for college, opted to play for the Danbury Junior Hat Tricks in the North American Hockey League. Though it wasn’t far from home, Harney (Needham, Mass.) was set to move into a billet house prior to the current season.

“I think there’s something wrong,” Harney said.
