WILMINGTON, Mass. -- From Long Island to Milton and now the Boston Bruins, it's been a dizzying year for Milton Academy defenseman Rob O'Gara. In his first year with the Mustangs, O'Gara had nine points in 30 games as they took home a NEPSAC championship.
After getting selected in the fourth round (151st overall) by the Bruins last month, O'Gara is in the team's development camp this week at Ristuccia Arena. Following the first training session yesterday, Bruins assistant general manager Don Sweeney called him "a piece of clay right now, albeit it’s a big piece." And at 6-foot-4 and 197 pounds, having just turned 18 two days ago, and getting set for his final year of eligibility with the Mustangs before heading off to Yale in the fall of 2012, there's seemingly nowhere to go but up for the wide-eyed prospect.
O'Gara sat down with ESPNBoston.com following day two of camp to talk about his development, being part of the Stanley Cup champs' organization, and life back home on Long Island.
