WILMINGTON, Mass– Brian Ferlin may not have been expecting the Boston Bruins to pick him in last month’s NHL Entry Draft, but he’s rewarding their faith in him with a strong showing at the prospects development camp at Risuccia Memorial Arena this week.

“It’s been awesome so far,” Ferlin told New England Hockey Journal. “It’s all I exepected– it’s very difficult– but I’m just trying to make a good impression and show what I can do.”

Born in Jacksonville, Florida Ferlin was raised in the Sunshine State and played his minor hockey there until a year ago, when he went to Indianapolis to skate for the USHL’s Indiana Ice. He said that through a personal connection with someone in the Ice organization, he was able to get a tryout with the club and make the team that way instead of going the traditional route through the USHL entry draft.
