Name: Jake Sondreal

Position: Forward

Year: Freshman

Number: 25

Height: 6-0

Hometown: Woodbury, MN

Prior to BC: Sondreal spent the past 2 seasons in the USHL with the Dubuque Fighting Saints. He was captain of the team last season, and was third on the team with 69 points. He has strong skills both on offense and as a defensive forward, and can contribute wherever he is needed.

Season Outlook: Because of his ability to contribute on offensive or on defense, Sondreal will likely see a decent amount of ice time as a third or fourth line center. Fans also shouldn’t be surprised to see him getting some special teams minutes as the season goes on and he settles into NCAA play. He made a huge jump in all aspects of his game between the 2022-23 and 2023-24 seasons, so the consistency of college should help that growth to continue.

Fun Fact: Sondreal just missed playing for Greg Brown a couple years ago, because Coach Brown left the Fighting Saints to come back to BC right before Sondreal joined Dubuque.

At least one person was injured in a crash in Boston’s Brighton neighborhood on Friday morning.

The crash was reported around 5:40 a.m. at the intersection of North Beacon Street and Soldiers Field Road.

One person, who was conscious and alert, was taken by ambulance to an area hospital.

Photos from the scene showed two vehicles with major damage.

The crash is causing some inbound traffic delays.

A week after Enrique Delgado-Garcia was fatally injured at the Massachusetts State Police Academy, there is still an open question of who will investigate.

State police say the 25-year-old recruit was hospitalized last Thursday after being injured during a defensive tactics training exercise at the New Braintree facility. He died the following day.

The Worcester County District Attorney’s Office is looking for an outside agency to investigate the death of Delgado-Garcia, who previously worked for the office as a victim witness advocate.

An investigation is ongoing after the 25-year-old Massachusetts State Police recruit died last week, one day after authorities say he became unresponsive and suffered a “medical crisis” during a defensive tactics training exercise.

Gov. Maura Healey was asked Thursday about the process.

“I feel terrible for Enrique and his family. What a tragic situation. As with any death, the DA’s office is going to be investigating,” the governor said. “The DA has to determine who is best positioned to investigate that, but that needs to happen, it need to happen quickly, so most importantly, the family has answers.”

Todd McGhee, a security analyst and former Massachusetts State Police instructor, says that incidents occurring at the state police academy are typically subject to internal affairs investigations.

He said he is not aware of any other agency providing independent oversight of the state police.

“I have oversight,” Healey said Thursday. “I take that charge really seriously, because I want to make sure that for the public’s sake, we’re giving the very best to law enforcement, in terms of support, best training, best instruction, and it also goes back to why we’ve got to have this particular incident investigated, with answers, as quickly as possible.”

Trainee Enrique Delgado-Garcia died from injuries he suffered at the Massachusetts State Police Academy in New Braintree.

McGhee said he would expect federal authorities to take part in an investigation into Delgado-Garcia’s death.

“I’m envisioning that there might be involvement with the Department of Justice, perhaps the FBI may become the lead investigative agency, and that would not surprise me,” he said. “That seems to be the appropriate structure.”

Jessie Rossman, legal director for the ACLU of Massachusetts, also expects federal involvement.

“In the short term, this suggests that federal authorities may need to assume control of any investigation into these events,” she told NBC10 Boston Wednesday. “But in the long term, this also raises the broader question about why there is not a routine way to investigate potential MSP misconduct within the commonwealth.”
