So far this off-season, Hockey East has seen 5 players bolt from the ranks of college hockey in favor of getting their pro careers underway.
The latest in the growing list of talent that we won't get to watch any more is Marcou, unquestionably the biggest offensive threat on the Amherst roster. Marcou is headed to San Jose to play for the Sharks.
USCHO has a full listing of the players who have opted out of remaining eligibility in NCAA Hockey to head to the NHL.
Marcou is the Third Minuteman to Bolt to the NHL This Off-Season
Marcou had 40 assists and 11 goals this year for the Minutemen, and his 51 points were good enough to make him the leading scorer on the UMass Roster. It was the latest in a steady upward progression for the explosive forward.
In addition to Marcou, Amherst will be forced to bid adieu to their second leading point scorer Casey Wellman. Wellman will take his 23 goals to the Minnesota Wild. Finally, UMass will have to say goodbye to their best offensive defenseman, Matt Irwin, who will join the Worcester Sharks.
In addition to BU's Nick Bonino, who skipped out on his senior year, Hockey East lost Northeastern Defenseman Jake Newton to the Anaheim Ducks.
