Keith Yandle article in the Boston Globe on April 30th

Defenseman Keith Yandle is coming off a very strong season, his first in the Quebec Major Junior League. The 2005 Cushing Academy graduate, who turns 20 September 9th, opted for Junior hockey over opportunities at the University of New Hampshire and the University of Maine, and it paid off. The 6-foot-2 inch, 195-pounder won the Emile Bouchard Trophy as the QMJHL's best defenseman, the same honor Hall of Famer Ray Bourque took home after the 1978-79 season while he was playing for Verdun. Yandle, who was selected in the fourth round (No. 105 overall) by the Phoenix Coyotes in the 2005 draft, had 25 goals, 59 assists, and 109 penalty minutes in 66 games with the Moncton Wildcats. Yandle also took home the Telus Trophy as defensive player of the year was named a first-team all-star. Moncton general manager Ted Nolan, former coach of the Buffalo Sabres, won the Maurice Fillion Trophy as GM of the year.
