Anybody want to mention a fav fic posted this month?

That Lucic/McDavid kinkmeme fill was everything I wanted from that scenario and those characters. It was so great.

I loved this one too.

Dull month imo. I don't particularly want to call electrumqueen's Hall story my favorite, but it's the only one that stands out in my brain. At least it was interesting and somewhat out of the ordinary.

Hands down this one http://archiveofourown.org/collections/teamusaexchange2016/works/7330978

Shame that Fortunato is leaving BU.

Re: July AO3 stats

Where is he going?

Re: July AO3 stats

[(Anonymous)]

Don't think he's said yet.

Re: July AO3 stats

One v v sketch internet comment suggested that he's going to play a year of junior and then go back to a different college (he can do that?? Doesn't the CHL make him college ineligible?) and Twitter suggested that he's leaving because he wanted guaranteed ice time and BU is stacked on the blue line (with players better than him??)

Re: July AO3 stats

There are plenty of juniors leagues that aren't the CHL. The vast majority of college players play in them before college. I think NCAA has something about a year of ineligibility after transferring, going back to juniors might get him around that.

I also appreciated the number of college hockey twitters that felt it necessary to point out that he was leaving purely for hockey reasons - not for disciplinary reasons.

Ah, okay. I couldn't make sense of what I read on SB Nation, but I think your info clears it up.

Sounds like he's leaving BU (because they have two incoming players expected to supercede him) and go play for the USHL for a year (which allows him to maintain his NCAA eligibility), and while it's unknown for sure what school he'll go to after that, he originally committed to Harvard before going to BU.

Re: July AO3 stats

It also sounds like he didn't want to switch to playing forward due to the blue line depth. They have really good recruits coming in.

Re: July AO3 stats

I'm kimda surprised he hasn't been strong-armed into being a forward before tbh. I've always pictured D-men as the bigger guys on the team and Fortunato is like Gaudreau-sized.

Re: July AO3 stats

I honestly don't know - does he has enough skill to make that happen?
