Gerbe was the team's seventh leading scorer, putting up 39 points (18 goals, 21 assists). He came up big at the Five Nations Tournament and was the Team USA's second leading scorer at the 2005 IIHF World Under-18 World Championship.
2006-07: A top-six forward for Jerry York’s BC Eagles, and played for Team USA for the 2007 U-20 WJC. Gerbe was named to the All Tournament Team at the Frozen Four. He finished the season with 47 points in 41 appearances for Boston College (Hockey East).
2007-08: Gerbe scored eight points in two games as he led Boston College to their first NCAA title since 2001. He also had a hand in every goal in BC’S 4-1 win over Notre Dame in the National Title game. He led the nation in scoring with a combined 68 points and finished the season with a slew of honors, including USA Hockey National College Player of the Year, All Hockey East First-Team, Hockey East MVP, Hockey East Tournament MVP, and was a Hobey Baker Memorial Award finalist.
Talent Analysis
Gerbe was one of the top players in college hockey in 2008-09, helping to lead BC to the NCAA Championship. He uses excellent speed and an ability to create space to make up for his lack of size. As a well-rounded offensive player, Gerbe was able to set the tone for his teammates, and provided a spark throughout the season. He looks to follow Buffalo’s Briere/Roy mold of diminutive but aggressive centers.
