Sahir Gill not returning to BU for 2013-14

The Boston University men's hockey team has yet to release its official 2013-14 roster, but when it does, there is another name that won't be on it: Sahir Gill.

The forward, who had been set to be a senior with the Terriers, is not returning to the school for his final collegiate season, a team source confirmed Thursday afternoon.

Gill took to Twitter earlier Thursday to break the news — sort of.

"Thank you to BU for the opportunity and lifetime of memories & friendships made," he wrote. "Honoured to be a Terrier, but excited for what lies ahead!"

Senior Garrett Noonan, an assistant captain for the second half of the 2012-13 season, took it one step further with his tweet.

"Tough to see [Gill] leave school but I know he'll tear it up wherever his next stop is," Noonan tweeted. "One of the best guys out there."

There is no word on where Gill might play this season.

After three years, Gill concludes his Comm. Ave. career with 28 goals and 50 assists, including 22 points (10 goals, 12 assist) as a junior — his lowest total in of any of his three seasons.

Gill's departure leaves BU without half of its top six forwards from the end of last season, with Wade Megan gone to graduation and Matt Nieto having signed with the Sharks in April. That leaves first-year coach David Quinn with juniors Cason Hohmann and Evan Rodrigues, plus sophomore Danny O'Regan, as returning forwards from the top two lines.
