WASHINGTON (AP) — In his final season at the University of North Dakota, Brock Boeser took a high-level course on what life in the NHL would be like.

He aced it.

Boeser fought through a wrist injury that required surgery and was defended like the star he is quickly becoming as a rookie with the Vancouver Canucks.

”More guys started keying on you, so I think you learn from that,adidas Mike Condon jersey, I think you really can develop from that.”,” Boeser said. ”The frustrations

Boeser developed into the NHL’s only rookie All-Star and is making a quick adjustment to the professional game along with fellow NCAA product Clayton Keller,adidas Craig Anderson jersey, who went from Boston University to a substantial role with the Arizona Coyotes in his first season. Five of the league’s top eight rookie scorers came out of five different college programs: Boeser,adidas James Neal jersey, the Winnipeg Jets’ Kyle Connor from Michigan and the Colorado Avalanche’s Alexander Kerfoot from Harvard., Keller,Authentic Marc-Andre Fleury jersey, the Boston Bruins’ Danton Heinen from Denver

”The facilities and stuff they have really allowed you to grow (and help) your body get stronger,” Boeser said. ”I think college hockey is a great route to go through. Keller’s one of my buddies, and to see him have that success doesn’t surprise me.”, too

Boeser and Keller each benefitted from not coming into the NHL cold during training camp. The Coyotes and Canucks decided to sign them late last season and plug them directly into the lineup, which gave them a head start.

”I got a little bit of a taste last year, so I knew what to expect, who’s third among rookies and leads Arizona with 32 points. ”It was huge. You never really know how hard it is until you play in the NHL and see how fast and strong guys are.”,” said Keller

No matter how fast and strong the rest of the league is, it hasn’t slowed these college-cultured rookies. Boeser is fifth among all players with 22 goals and is by far Vancouver’s leading scorer with 40 points.

”I’m not worried about the next step for him,” Canucks coach Travis Green said. ”The league’s been trying to focus on him for a little while here, good players find a way to get themselves out of it.”, and he seems to be doing all right. If things don’t go his own way

Like Boeser, Keller knows what he doesn’t know, he has begun to figure it out., namely what an 82-game schedule would be like after college games were mostly on weekends. Halfway through

”You never really get much rest, and I think the days that you do get off,” Keller said. ”It’s definitely a grind and I think you’ve just got to take care of your body and good things will happen.”,Authentic Mike Condon jersey, you really have to recover and take care of your body

Keller is one of the best things to happen this season for the NHL-worst Coyotes,adidas Marc-Andre Fleury jersey, who could use him as a building block for their future. First-year coach Rick Tocchet noticed Keller in rookie camp and has seen the 19-year-old Missouri native’s defensive game and quickness to the puck improve with experience.

”He’s got a very outstanding hockey IQ,” Tocchet said. ”I think if you’re a young player and you have a high hockey IQ you can have a really good chance to be a good player in this league. … He doesn’t force passes,Authentic James Neal jersey, 180-pound kid that is not afraid to go to the net.”, too. That’s what I like about him. He just doesn’t throw pucks away. A lot of his goals are around the net. He’s a 19-year-old

Boeser isn’t afraid of anything at age 20 and has the kind of shot that Washington Capitals coach Barry Trotz compares to Alex Ovechkin‘s. Ovechkin teammate T.J. Oshie, a fellow North Dakota product,Authentic Craig Anderson jersey, his strength and ability to make the right play., worked out with Boeser last summer and was impressed by his shot

”He seems not to overthink with the puck, how quick he was from a standstill,” Oshie said. ”Skating, the thing that surprised me most was the jump in his speed, but the way he’s able to release the puck is really quick, and also his shot. He doesn’t have the biggest (stick) curve, really hard.”

Boeser arrived in the NHL with that kind of shot and gained confidence from playing nine games with the Canucks last spring. He also came equipped with the same kind of smarts Tocchet raves about with Keller, so perhaps it’s not surprising that Boeser having similarly positive results.

”He understands the game for a young guy,” Green said. ”He understands the importance of play away from the puck, just as importantly.”, which at times he does get away from it and he’s not afraid to admit it. That’s also important for young players to understand when they’re playing not as good as they can and why
