In many ways, junior Joe Pereira and sophomore Ross Gaudet are mirror images of each other.
They both came to Boston University with very little hype surrounding them. They weren’t considered elite recruits like many incoming Terriers are. They weren’t National Hockey League draft picks. They hadn’t competed in any major international competitions. If they worked hard and established themselves as fourth-line grinders in their time at BU, no one would’ve been disappointed.
But they’ve done more than that this season. On a team filled with returning players who have not stepped their games up, and some who have even seen their games regress, Pereira and Gaudet have battled through injuries, exceeded everyone’s expectations and become key contributors in an offense that needs all the help it can get.
