Boston, MA - Bullies welcome South Shore Kings Charlie Coyle, who was chosen by the San Jose Sharks with the 28th pick of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He is the first EJHL player to be drafted in the first round since the Sharks selected Capital District Selects alum Nick Petrecki with the 28th pick in 2007. 

After a standout career at Thayer Academy, Coyle accelerated his studies and joined the Kings, finishing fifth in the EJHL in scoring and garnering Rookie of the Year honors. Along with his stellar season with the Kings, Coyle joined the US National Development Program for two international tournaments. 

Coyle received considerable attention from NHL scouts from the moment he stepped on the ice with the Kings. He appeared on the Central Scouting Bureau's preliminary rankings as an "A" player, signifying that he would likely be selected in the first three rounds. He was ranked 19th on the January Midterm rankings and finished the season 24th on the April Final rankings. He also became the second EJHL player to win the prestigious John Carlton Award, presented to the most outstanding high school or junior player in Eastern Massachusetts. 

The Weymouth, MA, native was invited to the NHL Draft Combine last month and performed exceptionally. He will also attend the USA Hockey World Junior Evaluation Camp. He will attend Boston University in the fall.

Walpole, MA - Beantown Bullies 97 (Shea) went undefeated this weekend at the Pro Am Mini Chowder Cup downing the East Coast Selects (Quebec) 5-3 in the final. The Mini Chowder Cup is one of the most respected tournaments in North America.
