Demko Injured, BC Adds Goalie For Second Semester

CHN Staff Report

According to the Boston Globe's Kevin Paul Dupont, Boston College has added Junior Bruins goaltender Ian Milosz for the second half of the season after it was learned that Thatcher Demko is going to be out at least for Friday's game against Providence. Demko, according to the Globe, is suffering from an upper-body injury.

In 17 games this season in the USPHL, Milosz, a 6-foot-7 goaltender from North Grafton, Mass., posted a .924 save percentage and a 2.20 goals-against average.

Demko was reportedly hurt last week in a tournament in Florida, and Chris Birdsall, BC's other scholarship goalie, is also injured. Alex Joyce, a walk-on who joined the Eagles from the club team last year, would have been the only goalie available for the Eagles.

According to the Globe, Demko was hurt in a Dec. 28 game vs. Ohio State, but did play the following night against Providence.
