Profile Contributed By: Janine Pilkington
History
Played Division I NE Prep high school hockey with Thayer Academy. Gibbons had 36 pts total (17g, 19a) and 32 penalty minutes in 20 games during the 2005-06 season.Gibbons recently participated in the 2006 New England Pro-Am Hockey Pre-Draft Showcase. He led all players with 14 points in 6 games (7g, 7a), with two powerplay goals and two game winning goals.
Talent Analysis
Mike O’Connell, director of the New England Pro Am Hockey League, said this about Gibbons’ performance - “He probably was the biggest surprise out of all the ranked players as he performed well beyond our expectations. For his size, he was exceptionally strong going to the net on 5-5 situations. On the power play, he was able to maneuver with no problem given the added space. In the Championship Game vs. Team Ontario, a team that had five (5) Ranked Players from the OPJHL, Brian had his best game. He was a force throughout the game, sometimes double shifting through Coach Rob Griffin, and was a leader up front against a very big and very good Team Ontario Defense. Brian was named to the All-Tournament Team and could easily have been named the MVP. In speaking to NHL Scouts after the tournament, they all agreed that the Ranking Central Scouting had for Brian was more than justified. It was felt that a selection in the early rounds would pay off for any NHL team who might choose Brian on June 24th.”
Future
Committed to Boston College in the Fall of 2007.
