01 F Robert Mastrosimone (BU) is slippery through traffic, finds ways to impact every game. Quick feet/wrists & gritty: top tier player.

Mastrosimone is a native of East Islip, New York.
A great addition to a pipeline of elite forwards! Welcome Robert!
Hope for the best. Quick high scoring forwards are the way in college hockey. Look at the BC championship teams. Small but forwards THAT CAN SCORE. That is how you win. Fourteen ! Wow. I know this is the age but having to follow these bantam leagues and all the jrs must leave very little time for anything else for the college recruiters.
not only are SMALL high scoring forwards the way to go, but they also tend to stay i school longer. if Gaudreau was Greenway’s size, he would have been long gone. same with gerbe, gionta etc
