Boston University’s Chris O’Sullivan has signed a pro contract with the Calgary Flames, forgoing his senior year. O’Sullivan was drafted as a defenseman on the second round in 1992, prior to his attending BU. <\/p>\n
In 1992-93 he redshirted after a neck injury felled him after only five games. The following year he was one of many excellent defenseman on a Terrier team that progressed all the way to the title game before falling to Lake Superior State. <\/p>\n
BU’s strength on the blueline the following year, combined with O’Sullivan’s well-rounded skills, prompted his shift to left wing on a line with Steve Thornton and Mike Grier. The line immediately clicked and he went on to score 23 goals and 33 assists. <\/p>\n
After BU won the national championship, O’Sullivan was named tournament MVP for his three goals and all-around play. He was also named a second team All-American.<\/p>\n
Last year O’Sullivan was shifted back to defense near the end of the season and was named to the All-tournament team at the NCAA regional. <\/p>\n
His skating, playmaking, and defensive skills have earned him berths on national select teams ranging from the Select-16 and Select-17 teams to positions on the US teams that have competed in the World Junior Championships. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
