Malden Catholic sophomore center Ara Nazarian parlayed one of the most
dominant tournament performances in recent memory into a future in
Hockey East, announcing Tuesday that he has committed to play at the
University of New Hampshire.
Nazarian's commitment was announced early Tuesday afternoon by Malden
Catholic on Twitter.
Nazarian's historic effort led the Lancers to their third straight
Super Eight championship. He scored nine goals in MC's five tournament
victories, one of the best individual performances in the Super
Eight's 23-year history. Four of the goals were shorthanded, and
Nazarian's run included a hat trick in the 5-3 semifinal win against
Catholic Memorial and the eventual winning goal in the 3-2
championship victory against Austin Prep at the Garden. Nazarian, a
Herald Dream Team selection, finished the season with 26 goals and 20
assists.
Nazarian becomes the fourth member of this year's Malden Catholic
squad to commit to a Hockey East program, joining linemates Mike
Iovanna (senior right winger, UMass) and Tyler Sifferlen (junior left
winger, UMass-Lowell) as well as sophomore defenseman Casey Fitzgerald
(Boston College).
The Herald's Bruce Lerch caught up with Nazarian earlier Tuesday
evening. Here is what Nazarian had to say:
HOW DID IT COME ABOUT?
"I visited there about a week ago and I just took the weekend to think
over things, sit down with my parents and coaches and make a decision
and I called them today and made the decision.
"It wasn't an instant, like I went and visited and the next day
committed. I thought about it for a while. It's a great fit for me
and my style of play. I really liked the campus up there and I really
like the school a lot.
WHAT DREW YOU TO UNH?
"It's not in my backyard but it's close enough, about 45 minutes
away. It's really what I looked for in a campus with the woodsy kind
of area. I'm from Boxford so it's good to have a campus like that. I
felt comfortable being there and it's just a really good fit for me."
WHEN DO YOU THINK YOU'LL ARRIVE ON CAMPUS?
"I'm not sure yet. We'll see what happens in the next two years and
they'll probably decide off of my senior year and what happens
then. I'm hoping it's 2015 but you never know what they'll want me to
do."
