Talent Analysis
Sullivan is a strong skater with good balance, and excellent physical conditioning. His biggest challenge will be to overcome what some scouts consider to be questionable hockey instincts, and learning to read the play, especially at faster pace.
Future
Sullivan decommitted in January to play at Yale University after the Bulldogs’ coaches suggest a year of junior level hockey before joining their program. On May 14, he committed to play for Boston College after a scholarship opened up from the departure of Brian Dumoulin (PIT) for the professional ranks. Sullivan will play his freshman year at the NCAA level for the Eagles.
