Freshman Friday: Brian Ferlin

The following article featuring Cornell forward Brian Ferlin appeared October 28 on the Cornell Web site.

 

Brian Ferlin comes to Ithaca from his native Jacksonville, Fla. following a busy summer that involved being selected by the Boston Bruins in the fourth round of the NHL Entry Draft and a trip to the USA Hockey National Junior Evaluation Camp. He and his linemates finished 1-2-3 in the USHL scoring race last season.
 
Q: So what was the Team USA Junior Camp like this summer?
A: I was kind of a late invite, but it was definitely a really fun expereince. There were a lot of elite players, so I got to see a bunch of the top guys from all across the world. (Joakim Ryan) was there, Andy (Iles) was there with me on the USA, so it was definitely a good experience.

Q: You may have been a late invite, but you still showed well. Are you happy with how you played there?
A: Yeah, I was really happy with how I played.  I think that I just went into it with the attitude that I had nothing to lose, and just give it all I had. And I thought I played pretty well.

Q: How cool was the goal you scored?
A: Oh yeah, that was awesome. Nice pass from Kenny Agostino, who plays on Yale. But hopefully he doesn't do that in the regular season. Yeah, it was a nice play, a little deke against Finland. So it was fun.
