Liam Coughlin has committed to play hockey at the University of Vermont, Over the Boards reported Monday evening. Coughlin was previously reported to have committed to Boston University.
In April, the 6-foot-3 South Boston native announced his commitment to BU, and received support from his team and friends on Twitter. Former BU captain Garrett Noonan tweeted then in support of his fellow Catholic Memorial School graduate:
Congrats to @Liam_Coughlin7 on committing to BU! Can’t wait to see you rip it up! #CM #Vernon #BU
