Yale defenseman Rob O'Gara from the 2013 National Champion Bulldogs is doing a blog for the Boston Bruins official NHL site. Apparently, O'Gara is also buddies with Zane Gothberg who's also attending this week's Boston Bruins Development Camp.
Boston Bruins -- I’m really excited for this year’s development camp, this is my third year attending. Last year was different from the first year and I think I’ll have more confidence this year but I’m sure this year will be different than last. It’s going to be a fun week with great competition and it’s a great group of guys. As you go along, you start knowing the names and seeing who you are going to play with. Like Ryan Fitzgerald, I played with him back on the U18 Junior Bruins before we started our prep year seasons. I haven’t seen him in a while so I’m excited to say hi and it’s going fun week.



I’m also looking forward to playing with Zane Gothberg again during the week. We hit it off the last couple years and he’s one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. We both played in the final 8 in our regional, him in North Dakota, he said hi before our Minnesota game. It was good to see him and you know, it was a little friendly competition and even though I didn’t score against him, we got the best of them. My friend Frank DiChiara from Long Island played with Matt Benning this year, I’ve known him since I was really young. Benning was at camp last year and as a D-man, there are only eight of us here, so we have to bond and stick together.

NHL Islanders moving to Brooklyn after 2014-15 season

ST PAUL, MN - DECEMBER 17: Jared Spurgeon #46 ...
Here is an interesting story, the New York Islanders are moving from Long Island to Brooklyn and will play in a Barclays Center after the 2014-15 season.
Tim Panaccio, Flyers Insider --- The familiar refrain for most sports fans in the United States when it comes to trying to figure out some of the things the NHL does has always been, "it’s hockey."

That would explain how, in the middle of the NHL’s third lockout under commissioner Gary Bettman, in which the season is in peril and there are no collective bargaining talks scheduled, the league would announce a franchise transfer.

The New York Islanders, according to the New York Post, New York Daily News and TSN, will announce Wednesday they are moving to Brooklyn to play in Barclays Center when their lease at Nassau Coliseum expires after 2014-15.
